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 and normal glucose level.. so doctor said it is normal.. but in my reports it mentioned as chronic thyroiditis with other conditions.. 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

Prevalence of thyroid nodule is 1% in general population when examined clinically but if we use USG, prevalence is around 50%.
Your USG is showing chronic thyroiditis with TIRADS 3 lesion. When we found TIRADS 3 lesion on USG and if its size is 2.5 cm or more, an FNAC is advised.
If size is less 2.5 cm and your thyroid profile is normal, nothing is required right now.
Get an Anti TPO done and monitor your thyroid profle 6-12 monthly.

If symptoms present ,Thyroid disorders are diagnosed using Thyroid profile maily TSH T3 T4
Usg neck to rule out any gland structural abnormalities like nodules or cancerous lesions.
Your reports shows nodules and chronic thyroiditis but normal thyroid reports.
Chronic thyroiditis indicates hashimotos thyroiditis which is an painless Autoimmune Thyroiditis.
One should treat symptoms not usg thyroid .
Hairfall can be attributed due to thyroid issue but not weight loss.
We can confirm hashimotos thyroiditis by taking
Anti -TPO antibody if elevated confirms the diagnosis.
