Frequently asked questions

What should I avoid before a thyroid ultrasound?

There are usually no special restrictions: you can eat, drink, and take your prescribed medications as usual. Before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid applying cosmetics to your neck and to remove any jewelry that may interfere with access to the examination area.

What can a thyroid ultrasound show?

A thyroid ultrasound helps assess the size, volume, contours, and structure of the gland, as well as detect nodules, cysts, and signs of inflammatory changes. Doppler ultrasound can also be used to assess blood flow. Thyroid function is not determined by ultrasound but by laboratory test results.

How much does a thyroid ultrasound cost?

The current price is listed among the services on the website. If an additional examination of the regional lymph nodes or Doppler ultrasound is required, the total cost may differ. The price can be confirmed with the ZDRAVO Care Department.

When is the best time to have a thyroid ultrasound?

The examination can be performed on any day and at any time, as the results are not affected by the menstrual cycle or food intake. If you notice a lump, experience discomfort in your neck, or have other symptoms, you should not postpone the examination.

Can a thyroid ultrasound show how well the thyroid gland is functioning?

No. Ultrasound primarily assesses the structure of the gland but does not measure hormone production. To evaluate thyroid function, your doctor may order blood tests for TSH, free T4, and other indicators.

Is every thyroid nodule dangerous?

No. Most thyroid nodules have benign features. The doctor evaluates their structure, shape, margins, size, and other characteristics. The ultrasound specialist performs the examination and reports the findings; any further assessment or management should be discussed with an endocrinologist or your treating doctor.

A thyroid ultrasound is a modern diagnostic imaging method that allows physicians to assess the structure, size, and presence of pathological changes in thyroid tissue. The examination is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation exposure, making it suitable even for children and pregnant women.

At the ZDRAVO Medical Center in Mykolaiv, the examination is performed using high-resolution expert-class equipment, which allows the detection of even small nodular formations. Patients receive their results immediately after the procedure, along with a detailed medical report.

 

What does a thyroid ultrasound show?

Ultrasound imaging allows evaluation of:

  • Size and volume of the thyroid gland
  • Tissue structure (homogeneous or diffuse changes)
  • Presence of nodules and cysts
  • Signs of inflammatory processes
  • Condition of regional lymph nodes
  • Blood supply characteristics (if Doppler ultrasound is used)

This method does not measure hormone levels, but it helps identify structural changes that may cause thyroid dysfunction.

 

When is a thyroid ultrasound recommended?

A thyroid ultrasound is indicated in cases of:

  • Feeling of a “lump” or pressure in the neck
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Changes in voice tone
  • Enlargement of the neck area
  • Sudden weight fluctuations
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Palpitations or tremors
  • Abnormal TSH levels (high or low)

It is also used for monitoring previously detected nodules or for follow-up observation under an endocrinologist’s supervision.

What conditions can a thyroid ultrasound detect?

A thyroid ultrasound can help diagnose:

  • Diffuse goiter
  • Nodular goiter
  • Thyroid cysts
  • Thyroiditis (including autoimmune thyroiditis)
  • Adenomas
  • Suspicious formations requiring further examination

Early detection of thyroid changes allows timely treatment and helps prevent complications.

 

How is the procedure performed?

The examination usually takes 10–20 minutes. The patient lies on a couch with the head slightly tilted back. The physician applies a special gel to the neck area and moves the ultrasound transducer to obtain images of the thyroid gland.

The procedure is painless, does not cause discomfort, and requires no recovery time afterward.

 

Why should you have a thyroid ultrasound at ZDRAVO?

At ZDRAVO Medical Center, we have created comfortable conditions for thyroid ultrasound examinations. You receive an accurate examination, a professional medical report, and your results immediately after the procedure.

 

How to prepare for a thyroid ultrasound?

No special preparation is required.

Recommendations before the examination:

  • Do not apply creams or cosmetic products to the neck area
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the neck
  • Inform your doctor about any hormonal medications you are taking

In most cases, it is not necessary to stop ongoing treatment before the examination.

Do you need an ultrasound if your tests are normal?

Sometimes structural changes in the thyroid gland can develop even when hormone levels are within the normal range. Therefore, if symptoms are present or there is a family history of thyroid disease, a physician may recommend an ultrasound examination as a preventive diagnostic method.

 

Cost of a thyroid ultrasound in Mykolaiv

The cost of a thyroid ultrasound depends on the scope of the examination and whether an additional doctor’s consultation is required.
