1. **Menstruation**: Men do not have periods because menstruation is specific to individuals with a uterus, typically women and some transgender men or non-binary people. 2. **Biological Process**: Menstruation involves shedding the uterine lining when pregnancy does not occur. Men do not have a uterus, so they do not experience this process. 3. **Hormonal Changes**: Men can experience hormonal changes and symptoms related to other health conditions, but these are not the same as periods.

I've been diagnosed with multi nodular goiter benign enlarged thyroid lobes with multiple solid and cystic nodules. The report mentions hypo to isoechoic nodules of varying sizes and some cystic changes, but no calcification or abnormal vascularity. The largest nodule on the right is 1.5x1.4 cm, and the left lobe has a large cystic component measuring 1.9x1.5 cm with internal fine echoes. No significant lymph nodes or issues with parotids or carotids were noted. Should I consider surgery for this or is monitoring enough?

Most benign goiters are monitored with annual ultrasound and thyroid function tests. Surgery is only needed if there are compressive symptoms, cosmetic concerns, or malignancy suspicion.
