Do you have to have a needle bisopy for a tyroid infection

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Discuss it with your doctor. Depending upon various factors such as nodule size and number, lab tests, appearance on ultrasound, family and personal history, etc. Your doctor may decide a biopsy is indicated to help diagnose your condition more accurately.
