Neck & Thyroid Scan

Get clarity on any concerns in your neck and thyroid

Neck and thyroid problems, including lumps, swelling, or inflammation, can cause discomfort, hoarseness, or visible changes in the neck. Thyroid conditions can also affect energy levels, mood, and weight.

A quick, painless ultrasound can help identify the underlying cause and guide the next steps in your care.

FAQs

Should I get an ultrasound for lumps and bumps in my neck?

If you’ve found a lump in your neck, this scan helps identify what it is and what may be causing it. It gives your doctor valuable information about the size, location, and nature of the lump.

What symptoms are related to neck lumps?

• A visible or felt lump in the neck
• Swelling under the jaw, around the ear, or in the side of the neck
• Pain or tenderness in the area
• Redness or warmth over the lump
• Changes in voice or swallowing
• Ongoing sore throat
• Fever, weight loss, or night sweats

When should I see a doctor?

Get a lump checked if it lasts more than a couple of weeks, gets bigger, or is painful. Also seek advice if the lump comes with other symptoms like weight loss, fever, or changes in your voice or swallowing.

Are there any risks of a neck ultrasound?

There are no known risks. It’s a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves, not radiation. You can go back to your day straight after.
