I had an ultrasound of my neck. My report says the left lobe is enlarged with a cystic lesion of size 20 x 23 mm having separation and echogenic content. The impression is a colloid cyst in the left lobe with an enlarged left thyroid lobe. What does this mean?

Colloid cysts are benign. If no compressive symptoms or hormonal changes, only annual USG follow up is needed.

I have been advised by my gynecologist to get a thyroid profile test and a serum prolactin test because my periods are not regular. I have also undergone a scan, which came out normal. I want to know if alcohol consumption will be detected in these tests.

Hello Doctor, I am Sharmila, 25 years old. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues, and my doctor prescribed 50 mcg thyroid tablets. After delivery, I had my thyroid levels checked, and they have reduced. Should I continue taking the tablets, or can I stop them? I have attached my latest thyroid profile for your reference. Please advise

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?
