Is HETEROGENEOUS Thyroid normal?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I just received my TSH blood test and its 96 (Norm .5-5.5).
Got thyroid ultrasound and it said:
The right lobe of the thyroid measures 5.6 x 2.4 x 1.9 cm and is heterogeneous.
The thyroid isthmus measures 7 mm.
The left lobe of the thyroid measures 5.0 x 1.8 x 1.8 cm and is heterogeneous.
PROMINENT HETEROGENEOUS THYROID GLAND WITHOUT FOCAL NODULE.
My doc put me on Levothryoidcine 50 and will do other blood tests in six weeks. He Said my ultrasound is normal.
is my thyroid enlarged? Isn't 96 very high? Should I request a endocrinologist? I have terrible symptoms and after all the non/misdiagnoses am ready to get some relief!

findings: The thyroid is heterogeneous in echotexture bilaterally. The right lobe of the thyroid measures 4.4x1.7x1.4 with multiple modules, largest 3 measured: Multiple nodules are identified in the right lobe are as follows: 1) Upper pole, 8x4x6 mm, solid, heterogeneous., 2) Interpolar - 8x4x7mm, cystic 3)Interpolar, 2.2x0.9x1.3 cm, solid with cystic components.
The left lobe of thyroid measures 5.6x1.5x1.7 cm with multiple nodules: Multiple nodules are identified in the left lobe are as follows 1) Upper pole, 5.2x4 mm, cystic with debris Upper pole, 4x3x4 mm, cystic with bright echo 3) lower pole, 3.3x1.9x1.9 cm (may be 2 adjacent nodules), solid , heterogeneous.
The isthmus measures 3mm
impression 1) the thyroid gland is enlarged and heterogeneous in echogenicity. 2) There are indeterminate nodules in both thyroid lobes 3) there are benign cystic nodules in both thyroid lobes.
Please advise if I should be concerned or is my thyroid normal. Do I need to see a endocrinology or can my family doctor assist?
Thank you
