Slightly enlarged thyroid

Jensa • Mom to Raven & Gabriel❤️

I’m just wondering but what can cause your thyroid to be enlarged? I had a physical today and the doctor said my thyroid felt a little enlarged. She gave me paperwork to get a thyroid ultrasound done because I also mentioned to her how I’ve been losing more hair than normal. My mom has a nodule on her thyroid so I’m thinking that could be it, but just wanted to get others opinion.

She is also doing a thyroid cascade panel.
