A benign growth or overall enlargement of the thyroid. You will have your blood taken to check your levels of thyroid hormones T3, T4 and TSH. You may also have an ultrasound to check measurements. Finally, if there is one discrete nodule, you may also have a biopsy. With women, they are generally benign. A growth on the thyroid in a man, is usually malignant.

A goitre is an enlargement of your thyroid gland which is at the front of your throat.
It can enlarge if your thyroid gland is over or underactive.The thyroid gland controls the rate at which the body ticks over. It produces a hormone called thyroxine.
