Thyroid FNA
Thyroid nodule or lump
Thyroid gland masses are referred to as thyroid nodules. Most nodules are benign and do not require treatment.

Difficulty swallowing food
Difficulty in breathing
– Development of nervous conditions, heart palpitations, excessive sweating
Feeling fatigued and depressed.

Methods of Diagnosis
Blood test

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)
Thyroid Biopsy (FNA)
Fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules is typically performed by endocrinology specialists during a physical examination. However, in cases where the nodules are not easily palpable, are small, or are located deep within the thyroid tissue, the procedure is conducted under ultrasound guidance using a specialized needle to obtain samples from these nodules.
