Usually hot nodules are multiple. Solitary nodules if they are quite big are
given more attention. Since you mentioned you are taking birth control
pills-- they do raise the body's reqmt for thyroid hormone. This is due to
the binding effect of estrogen on circulating T4 hormone. What could be
happening in your case is due to this binding effect your thyroid is called
more to squeeze out more juice. This in effect could cause the thyroid to
enlarge in the case of hypothyroidism. The Fine Needle Biopsy settles the
whole case.
