Welcome to EmpowHER. Treatment options depend on the type of thyroid nodule that you have. Treating benign nodules can be by either watchful waiting, thyroid hormone suppression therapy or Surgery. Treating nodules that cause hyperthyroidism Radioactive iodine, Anti-thyroid medications, Surgery. It's important to talk to your doctor and have him explain what he thinks about your thyroid and the rest of your symptoms. If not you should definitely get a second opinion from another doctor.
