Accepted Answer

Thyroid: We don't know anything about you to try to make sense of the measurements you are giving us? how tall or how gig are you? why did you have a thyroid ultrasound? were there any nodules? where do you live? Is there visible enlargement of your thyroid gland? You need to speak to the doctor that prescribed the ultrasound to answer your specific questions.

Question 2

i always feel like i have a lump in my throat and my thyroid isthmus was measured at 5.4mm thick, does this usually require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal: Doesn't sound like anything is wrong.  It does sound like you've had a thyroid ultrasound, and the important result would be the presence of one or more significant nodules.  Routine lab results would also be important.  Ask whomever ordered your testing in the first place.  The need for thyroid surgery should be pretty low in your case.
