Does only Graves disease cause heterogeneous echotexture in thyroid lobes? Both my thyroid lobes are showing heterogeneous echotexture with a cyst in the right lobe of the thyroid.

Heterogeneous thyroid does not mean only Graves disease. It can happen in other common thyroid problems, too, like mild swelling, small nodules, or hormone issues. A small cyst in the thyroid is also quite common and usually not serious. Some simple blood tests can help you understand if your thyroid is working fine.

Hi Dr, recently I have seen high TPO antibody in my report but my TSH is normal. Please note that I have been taking Thyronorm 112.5 for the last 8 to 9 years. Is there anything to worry about. Please review my report and advise? Thank you.

My wife has been suffering from hypothyroidism for the past two months. Her TSH increased after taking medication for a month (50 mcg Eltroxine). The doctor has suggested increasing the dosage to 100 mcg for two months before doing another blood test. She has also been advised to follow a low glycemic diet. I want to get a second opinion?

As per my blood test report, my thyroid is 6.60 and MPV is 13.30. Should I take medicine for both? If yes, which medicine should I take?
