I've been diagnosed with colloid nodular goiter and was told surgery might be needed for the left side of my thyroid are there other treatment options I could consider instead?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for colloid nodular goiter, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and radioactive iodine treatment. RFA uses heat to shrink the nodule, while radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid and may also help decrease the size of the goiter.

I'm a bit confused about my TSH test resultsit came back at 60, which I know is higher than the normal range of 0.55. I have some symptoms of hypothyroidism, but I'm not sure if they match up with my height, which is 174cm, and my weight is 75kg. Everything else in my tests came back normal. Is this possible? What should I do next?

NO need to worry as you are saying you have minimal symptoms,then the test could be error repeat the Thyroid profile better to give sample early in the morning in fasting,if it turns to be similar Visit Endocrinologist for evaluation and appropriate approach.
