I discovered a lump on my neck on the 18th day of the New Year and went to the hospital for examination. They said it was a thyroid nodule and recommended surgery.Past treatment history and effectiveness: On the 18th day of the month, surgery was performed to remove the left and middle parts of the thyroid. The pathology results were: nodular goiter, cystic degeneration, adenomatoid fibrosis, focal fibrosis with lymphocytic infiltration. Post-surgery, I was advised to take one tablet of levothyroxine sodium (50 mg) daily.
What kind of help I need: Are these recurring symptoms due to hypothyroidism?
