Chronic thyroiditis
In last year February(2024) my neck was little swollen so I went to doctor and took USG neck and found I had multiple tr3 nodule and it all in normal size and my thyroid level t3 t4 and tsh all normal so my doctor said it is normal... but in my report it is mentioned as chronic thyroiditis... but my endocrinologist said it is normal and do not worry and said follow up after 6 months.. in 2024 august i got pregnant with my second baby and delivered on March, 2025. In September 2025, I again went to the endocrinologist to followup of USG neck scan and tr3 nodule is same with slight change in size.. and normal thyroid level of t3 1.23, t4 6.97 and tsh 2.861.. so doctor said it is normal.. but in my reports it mentioned as chronic thyroiditis with other conditions.. my random blood sugar level also normal... I have attached my last two USG scan report. I have hair fall and weight loss too.. I'm a breastfeeding mother... Can u pls guide.. I'm confused..
Nothing to be done for these nodules as long as thyroid profile is fine. Invariably some endocrinologist do advice ablation but it’s not always advisable. So keep monitoring unless they cause issues like irritation in throat or change in voice

Your thyroid hormone levels (T3, T4, TSH) are within the normal range, so your thyroid function is stable.
The ultrasound report mentioning “chronic thyroiditis” usually refers to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an autoimmune condition). It is quite common and can remain silent for years with normal hormone levels.
Since you are breastfeeding, mild hair fall and some weight changes are also common due to post-pregnancy hormonal shifts, not only thyroid.
Right now, no active treatment is required as your thyroid levels are normal.
Follow-up with repeat thyroid function tests every 6–12 months and an ultrasound if advised is sufficient.
If you develop symptoms like fatigue, palpitations, swelling in the neck, or irregular cycles later (after breastfeeding), recheck sooner.
