Nodules in the thyroid gland can be diagnosed as either non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). In cases where the thyroid nodules are non-cancerous, they can be treated with non-surgical Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), which has minimal side effects, requires little time, no recovery period, and prevents recurrence.
When many people when they gain weight, are experiencing swollen body or feeling uncomfortably fat without any obvious reason, they may wonder if the conditions are due to a problem with their thyroids or a symptom of obesity.
The thyroid is an organ located at the front of the neck, weighing about 20 grams and has a butterfly shape. It functions to produce and secrete thyroid hormones, which stimulate various organs throughout the body to function, especially the heart and brain, and regulates the metabolism of different cells in the body.
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located at the front of the neck, below the Adam's apple. Thyroid gland produces hormones acting throughout the body, influencing metabolism, growth and development. Thyroid nodules are solid or fluid-filled lumps that form within the thyroid gland.
