Diagnosing and Treating Thyroid Nodules at Thyroid Care Kenya
Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths or lumps in the thyroid gland. While most nodules are benign, a small percentage may be cancerous, requiring further evaluation and treatment.
Our Approach to Thyroid Nodules:
-
Comprehensive Evaluation:
-
High-resolution thyroid ultrasound.
-
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAC) for tissue analysis.
-
-
Risk Assessment: Determining the likelihood of malignancy (Thyroid Cancer) based on size, growth, and ultrasound features.

Advanced Thyroid Ultrasound
This helps us determine if a nodule shows worrisome features, such as irregular borders, microcalcifications, or increased vascularity, which may indicate the need for further evaluation.​
-
Personalized Risk Assessment: We use internationally recognized classification systems, like the TIRADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System), to categorize nodules and guide next steps. This ensures that patients receive appropriate follow-up, whether that’s observation, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy, or advanced treatment.
-
Proactive Monitoring: For non-worrisome nodules, we offer ongoing monitoring with regular ultrasounds to track any changes over time, providing reassurance and prompt intervention if needed.
Thyroid Microwave Abltation
We offer thyroid microwave ablation (MWA), a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for managing certain thyroid nodules.
This advanced procedure uses microwave energy to shrink nodules effectively, reducing symptoms and cosmetic concerns without the need for surgery. MWA is performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precision and safety, with minimal downtime and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical options.
For eligible patients, microwave ablation provides a safe and effective alternative to surgery.
