I am a 33 year old
female and my doctor suspects I may have hashimoto thyroiditis. He recommends
a formal biopsy. Is this necessary?
No, what sort of
doctor are you going to? He must be a first rate scam artist. The diagnosis of
hashimoto thyoiditis is made from a clinical history and blood tests. It is
extremely rare to perform a biopsy to make a diagnosis. Please change your
doctor and get a second opinion- this doctor sounds like an idiot who most
probably never passed any medical exams or has never encountered a patient with
hashimoto thyroiditis.
