Goiter & nodule
Hi! Just recently I was diagnosed with a small goiter & nodule on the left side. The doctor ordered all of the tests (TSH, T4 and TPO antibody level) and everything came back normal. The biopsy on the nodule is normal as well. Benign and no signs of cancer. My concern now is regarding my goiter & nodule. If my test results are all normal, what caused it to enlarge? What do I do to shrink it? My doctor will not give me anyhing because he said there's nothing wrong with my thyroid. The functions are normal. It just enlarges for a reason sometimes. Please help!
Could you post ultrasound findings/ biopsy report?

Just because your thyroid test results fall somewhere within the so-called "normal" range does not mean they are adequate for you. Due to the erroneous method used to establish them, the ranges are far too broad to be functional across their entire breadth for everyone. Please post your actual thyroid test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report so that we can give you our assessment. Also, please tell us about any other symptoms you have.
