A member asked:
How often do i need to schedule an ultrasound for my thyroid nodule? each year? so far i've had two over two years, and it was small and benign
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yearly is sufficient: Yearly is sufficient. If the lesion remains stable in size, three years in a row, you may reduce the frequency in consultation with your doctor.
