Question

I found out I have a benign nodule in my right thyroid gland should I consider surgery or is it better to leave it alone? I'm a bit worried about risks and whether it's really necessary

Treating benign nodules If a thyroid nodule isn't cancerous, treatment options include: Watchful waiting. If a biopsy shows that you have a noncancerous thyroid nodule, your doctor may suggest simply watching your condition. This usually means having a physical exam and thyroid function tests at regular intervals.

I'm a bit worried because my T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is really high at 98 and my AntiTPO is 1440. I'm planning to see a doctor soon, but I'm curious to know if there's a way to reverse this autoimmune issue without having to take thyroxine if that's what the doctor suggests. Is there a different approach I might consider?
