Thyroid Nodule - What Should I Do?

Thyroid nodules are very common especially in women. In this video, Dr. Clayman discusses the most important first step is to be evaluated by an expert with ultrasound and the potential for needle biopsy. Since thyroid nodules are very common and 85% or more are benign, you really need the highest quality ultrasound to examine your thyroid gland, the thyroid nodules, and the lymph nodes of your neck. The ultrasound will look at the nodule (lump) within your thyroid gland, where it is within your thyroid, and its appearance. Lymph nodes around the thyroid gland should also be examined. Sometimes lymph nodes may be more informative than the thyroid nodule, itself. If a biopsy of the thyroid nodule or lymph node is obtained, the doctor that looks at the cells under the microscope, called a cytopathologist, who needs to be equally an expert in thyroid as well. An expert endocrinologist should help guide you through your thyroid nodule evaluation and management.

    My family got 2cm thyroid nodule diagnosed. Heart beats normal. Doctor said not much to worry for now. So, we researched and made some hypothesis. One month later, it disappeared. What we assumed and did Leaky gut, autoimmune reaction. We did ABC. A// Stopped gluten. Stopped oatmeal. B// improved digestion, eg some ginger in meals C// Gut health and healing. Bone broth, the good one. Probiotics eg Yakult, and G-Niib. Every situation is different. FYR only.
