Based on your answers it is unlikely that you have thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are solid or fluid-filled lumps that can develop on the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland that is located in the lower front of the neck. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones that are important for many functions of the body (heart rate, body temperature, digestion). Thyroid nodules are common and often benign (noncancerous). They can vary in size; there may be only one or a group of nodules on the thyroid gland. Most nodules do not cause symptoms, so you can have one without even knowing it.
Based on your answers there is a possibility that you have thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are unusual growths of thyroid cells in your thyroid gland.
Based on your answers there is a high possibility that you have thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths of thyroid cells that form one or more lumps within the thyroid gland. The exact cause of thyroid nodules is not known, but they are very common. It is estimated that about half of Americans will have a diagnosed thyroid nodule by age 60. Thyroid nodules can be sorted as cold, which do not produce thyroid hormones, warm, which act as normal thyroid tissue, and hot nodules, which overproduce thyroid hormones. If you have nodules that produce thyroid hormones, symptoms of hyperthyroidism may develop. Treatment includes monitoring and surgery.
