When To See A Specialist?

Thyroid issues are relatively common in New Zealand, but the management of these can be complex, especially when dealing with nodules. If you're experiencing signs that don't seem to go away, a specialist consultation may be needed.

You should consider visiting our clinic if you notice:

  • A lump or swelling at the front of your neck

  • Ongoing hoarseness or voice changes
  • Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of pressure in your throat
  • Visible enlargement of the thyroid (goitre)
  • A family history of thyroid disease or thyroid cancer
These symptoms could be linked to thyroid nodules, goitre, or other gland-related conditions. Early diagnosis gives you peace of mind and clarity on the treatment if necessary.

Frequently asked questions and answers

Your first visit will typically include a review of your symptoms, a physical exam of your neck, and a discussion of any recent blood tests or imaging. We may recommend further ultrasound scans or biopsies depending on what we find. The goal is to determine the most appropriate course of action as clearly and quickly as possible.

We'll talk through all options with you so you can make an informed decision.

Thyroid surgery is generally safe, but like all operations, it carries some risks. These may include temporary voice changes, bleeding, or low calcium levels after surgery. Our team will explain all possible risks and answer any concerns you may have before proceeding.
