Thyroid nodule

A thyroid nodule is a growth or lump in the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of your neck and helps regulate metabolism. Most nodules are non-cancerous and often don’t cause symptoms. However, some can produce hormones or indicate underlying health issues. While many are discovered during routine exams or imaging, if a nodule is large or suspicious, further testing may be needed to determine its nature, including ultrasound or biopsy. Regular check-ups can help monitor any changes in the nodule, ensuring appropriate care if necessary.
