Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose thyroid tumor
Do you have a hoarse voice?
Do you have a lump on your neck?
Do you feel a lump/lumps under your skin?
Treatment depends on the type of tumor, so investigations like ultrasound will be needed. If the tumor is cancerous or high-risk, the doctor may recommend removal/destruction of the thyroid gland. This can be done through surgery or radiation.
