can a bening thyroid nodule be painful?
have nontoxic multinodular goiter; my thyroid lobes are enlarged, right greater than left. Both appear homogeneous. There is a cystic nodule in the right upper pole and a solid nodule in the right lower pole measuring 7x6x8 mm. My thyroid function is normal. The ultrasound's result showed that the solid nodule has not irregular border, not calcifications, and not blood flow. I have pain in my right front neck, mild hoarseness and tightness sensation. I have to question please: Can a benign thyroid nodule be painful? can I wait or postpone my surgery about 10 months without risk of having thyroid cancer? Thank you for your advise and answers.
Hi Barb 135. Thank you for looking at my health problem. The surgery that a Doctor recomended was hemi-thyroidectomy , also known as thyroid lobectomy; my surgery will be only the right lobe. The left lobe has not nodules but is a little enlarged.
