Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid Nodules Treatment in Indore – Expert Diagnosis & Care at SEWA Superspeciality Centre
Thyroid nodules are lumps or abnormal growths in the thyroid gland, which can be solid or fluid-filled. While most nodules are benign (non-cancerous), some may affect thyroid function or require further investigation. At SEWA Superspeciality Endocrinology & Women Care Centre in Indore, Dr. Abhyudaya Verma offers accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment options for thyroid nodules using the latest technology and evidence-based protocols.
What Are Thyroid Nodules?
A thyroid nodule is a lump that forms within the thyroid gland in your neck. They may be detected during a physical exam or incidentally during imaging tests. Nodules may be:
Single or multiple
Solid or cystic (fluid-filled)
Active (hot) or inactive (cold) based on hormone activity
Symptoms of Thyroid Nodules
Most thyroid nodules are asymptomatic and found during routine exams. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
Visible swelling in the neck (goiter)
Difficulty swallowing or breathing
Hoarseness or voice changes
Pain in the neck or throat
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (in case of “hot” nodules)
How Are Thyroid Nodules Diagnosed?
At SEWA Centre, we follow a comprehensive and accurate approach:
1. Thyroid Function Tests
Blood tests for TSH, T3, T4 to evaluate hormone activity
2. Thyroid Ultrasound
Helps determine the size, structure, and nature of the nodule
3. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
A minimally invasive procedure to determine if a nodule is benign or cancerous
4. Radioactive Iodine Scan
Identifies if the nodule is “hot” (producing hormones) or “cold”
Thyroid Nodule Treatment Options
Your treatment plan depends on the nodule’s size, function, appearance, and biopsy results:
Watchful Monitoring
For small, benign, asymptomatic nodules
Regular ultrasound and blood tests to track changes
Medication
If the nodule causes thyroid hormone imbalance, medications may help regulate it
Radioactive Iodine Therapy
Used for hot nodules causing hyperthyroidism
Surgical Removal (Thyroidectomy)
Recommended for:
Suspicious or cancerous nodules
Large nodules causing pressure symptoms
Cosmetic concerns
