What Does This Thyroid Ultrasound Report Indicate?

Good day, I was diagnose from hyperthyroidism a few months ago and it shows a high level of of FT4 which is 7.60 and the TSH of 100.0 and the findings of my thyroid ultrasound shows that Examination shows diffuse irregularity of the entire gland with marked enlargement noted. The right measures 6.3x2.5x2.8cms while the left measures 6.7x2.2x2.7cms and the impression noted: findings may suggest diffuse PARENCHYMAL DISEASE WITH THYROMEGALY hoping that you can give me a better insight of these condition thank you

Hello, The condition is goitre, which is causing increase in the size of the thyroid gland. This occurs most often due to deficiency of iodine leading to less thyroid hormone secretion. Because of this there is excess stimulation of thyroid gland leading to increase in size, plus increase in TSH. So due to this you have Hypothyroidism (not hyper as mentioned). This needs to be corrected by taking appropriate dosage of levo thyroxine tablets. Dose has to be calculated based on body weight, T4 levels & TSH levels. But early treatment with thyroxine is essential. Thanks
