Thyroid Ultrasound Results
by HannahMonica, Oct 28, 2009 12:51AM
Hi,
I am a 20 year old female who has a 3 year old child. I recently had a thyroid untrasound done because, on palpation, my thyroid felt slightly enlarged. I also had labwork done, including a TSH.
My TSH was 2.07.
My thyroid ultrasound results were as follows: Right Thyroid Lobe: 5.2 x 1.6 x 1.3 cm. Left Thyroid Lobe: 4.6 x 1.8x 1.1 cm. Isthmus: 2 mm. "The thyroid gland is in the upper limits of normal for size and diffusley heterogenous in echotexture. No focal lesions are noted. No other sonographic abnormalities are seen."
I also have a history of depression and am taking 20 mg of Lexapro daily, I have fatigue on a daily basis, I lost 20 pounds about a year and a half ago during a severe bout of depression, only to gain it back in a 3-4 month time period earlier this year, and generally I feel like doing nothing at all. I am wondering what the results of my thyroid ultrasound indicate, although my TSH is normal?
Thanks for your time,
Hannah
