Hello,
I am wondering if you can help me figure out what these results mean.
Thyroid Ultrasound:
RIGHT THYROID LOBE: The right lobe measures L: 3.2 x W: 1.2 x H:
1.5 cm. The right lobe appears heterogeneous.
LEFT THYROID LOBE: The left lobe measures L: 3.8 x W: 1.3 x H:
1.8 cm. The left lobe appears heterogeneous.
ISTHMUS: The isthmus measures 8 mm. A single hypoechoic nodule is
visualized in the isthmus, measuring 1.1 x .7 x .8 cm.
IMPRESSION:
8 mm solid nodule in the isthmus.
Heterogenous thyroid gland.
I'm assuming it might mean Hashimoto's disease. My doctor said that I should see an Endocrinologist to discuss what to do next. Should I be worried that it was a solid nodule that was found? Also I know my Thyroid is swollen especially on the left side. Will this go down eventually with just the medication? My last TSH level was 5.90 with a normal T4-FREE. My doctor just upped my rx to .75mcg of Levothroid.
Thank you for all your help
Diana
