Answered by Dr. Swaraj Waddankeri

My thyroids are enlarged and asymmetrical. Should I visit an endocrinologist?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks a lot for such a detailed history; it makes my job easier. I would want to know what was the result of the biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology. Based on that, I shall be in a better position to tell you the next step. Your thyroid is functioning to its maximum, so you do not need to worry on that front.

Does my mom’s thyroid nodule USG suggest cancer risk at 62?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The risk of cancer cannot be determined exactly. However, the hypoechoic nodule, age, and calcification are somewhat in favor of malignancy. Ultrasonography of the thyroid is not a sure test to diagnose malignancy. I would rather do FNAC (fine needle aspiration ) from both the nodules of the right and left lobes and then comment whether it is malignant or not.

We adapt the policy of wait and watch unless there are no complications and I think there are none. With respect to thyroid, I suggest you do not panic.
