Thyroid Neck Lumps: Get Diagnosed

Many people feel a lump in their neck and they immediately become afraid of the C word that no one ever wants to think about. However, this is not always the cause of a lump in the throat and it will be important to get an evaluation before determining the cause.

Most often, a lump in the throat is related in some way to the thyroid gland and there are many issues with the gland that could lead to swelling or lumps. Before becoming too concerned, it would be a good idea to make an appointment and get diagnosed.

About the causes of thyroid neck lumps

Just what can lead to a thyroid neck problem? Here are a few of the underlying conditions that could cause the issue:

  • Over-active thyroid
  • Non-functioning thyroid
  • Autoimmune disorder
  • Cyst in the thyroglossal duct
  • Genetic thyroid issues and conditions
  • Cancer

Visiting a throat specialist to have a lump in the throat checked

Just what will happen when you visit the doctor because you have found a lump in the throat around the thyroid gland? You will first have to have an ultrasound that will indicate what could be causing the lump. This will be the first step in diagnosis and there may be other tests or procedures that will need to take place. This way, the right diagnosis can help you take care of the condition. When you find a lump in your throat, you may be a little afraid. Of course, there is a chance that cancer could be to blame, but more often than not, it is something else that is completely treatable. All that you need to do is take a deep breath and then make an appointment.

By finding out what could be wrong among the many thyroid conditions out there, you can ensure that it gets treated in a proper manner so that you do not have to deal with the swelling or pain anymore.

If you have questions about thyroid neck lumps, contact your local doctor who will arrange for you to see a thyroid surgeon.
