What Causes Multiple Thyroid Nodules In Thyroid Scan?

I just had a thyroid scan and was found to have at least 7 nodules on the right lobe and the left lobe was not really readable as it was very grainy. They did measure something suspicious. I al;so have a nodule on the ipart between the lobes. Is this a lot of nodules and what would cause the grainy picture. Barbara

thanks for asking
few questions

*Do you have any breathing difficulty/ swallowing difficulty or any voice change?
*Any history of weight loss/palpitations/ tremors/diarrhea?
*Any associated weight gain/ hairloss/ tiredness/ constipation?
*Any history of recurrent fever / thyroid pain/ eye pain / bulging eye ball/ tiredness?
*Periods- is it regular?
*How is your quality of life?
*Any family history of thyroid disease/ goiter or thyroid malignancy?
*Are you diabetic/ hypertensive?
*Do you have raised cholesterol?

grainy picture in USG means you have thyroiditis in scan that is your thyroid is inflamed.
nodules is a different entity what you might be seeing is nodular thyroid which is also suggestive of thyroiditis.
or could you send me the size of largest nodule.
any signs of
microcalcification, peripheral vascularity irregularity

if nodule size is more than 1.5 cm then FNAC needs to be done.
