Thyroid Nodules and Surgery

Thyroid Nodules and Surgery - Symptoms

Thyroid nodules usually do not cause symptoms, but some symptoms include:

  • Pain – if there is bleeding into the nodule or inflammation.
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing – if the thyroid gland or nodule is large.
  • Hyperthyroidism symptoms like heat intolerance, fast heart rate, weight loss and tremors – if the nodule produces excessive thyroid hormone.
  • Hypothyroidism symptoms including cold intolerance, lethargy, weight gain and weakness – if less thyroid hormone is produced.
  • Hoarseness – if there is a cancer invading the nerve supplying your vocal cords. This symptom warrants immediate attention.
