My aunt is 43 years old and has been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. Is surgery the only way to treat it? I was considering consulting a homeopath, can homeopathy help cure the nodule without surgery? Are there any naturopathy treatments or home remedies that can help remove it?

Thyroid nodules are common and are not always dangerous. Surgery is not always needed unless the nodule is cancerous, large, or causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing. Most nodules are managed by monitoring with regular scans. Homeopathy or naturopathy does not have proven evidence to shrink thyroid nodules. It is best to consult an endocrinologist for guidance. You can book a Thyroid Profile and FNAC (needle test) of the nodule to check its nature before deciding treatment.

Sir, after my thyroid test, my report shows T3: 90, T4: 6.1, and TSH: 22.64. Please advise if this is a complicated issue or not?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My T3 is 0.98 and T4 is 6.56, which I believe are in the normal range. My TSH is 8.012, which is high. What do you suggest? Do I have thyroid disease?

I recently had a general checkup. I have noticed that I have been gaining weight over the past few weeks. Could you please review my results and share your advice?
