My wife was diagnosed with multinodular goiter 1 year ago. Her thyroid report is normal. FNAC was also done. Some doctors are suggesting surgery while others suggest wait and watch. My concern is, after the operation, will my wife have to take thyroid medicine for her whole life? FNAC report and USG report are attached.

Multinodular goiter with normal thyroid reports and FNAC often needs only monitoring. Surgery is advised if there is difficulty in swallowing, rapid growth, or cosmetic concerns. If the entire thyroid is removed, lifelong thyroid medication will be needed. If only part of the thyroid is removed, medication may not be required. You can book a Thyroid Profile test to check current thyroid function before deciding on surgery.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

My TSH level in the recent report is 4.86. I would like to know if this means I have hypothyroidism. Also, should I go for a retest to confirm the result?

Please read my report. Now I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. Upto the 2nd trimester thyroid reports were normal. I am using Tyronorm 50 mg. T4 is slightly above. Is there any problem? Please suggest.
