Fine Needle Biopsy of Thyroid Nodule

tahnk you very much ..for yhis info..now im relieved..godbless..^_^

Aside from the waiting and prep time, the actual procedure only takes like 10 minutes. The length of time is short and the pain is minimal to non-existent. It really is only a mild soreness after the numbing agent wears off. Other than the procedure itself being weird, it really is short and painless.

how many minutes will it take ? i mean the biopsy procedure..i want to know coz iam scheduled for a biopsy..

pls tell whats a PEI procedure..because i was adised to undergo a biopsy by my doctor..my right lobe was 3.5 and im 22 yrs old..pls help me ..i dont want to go for a biopsy..ill wait for your reply..thanx a lot..godbless..

omg i had a thyroid tumor back in september im so happy they didnt do a biopsy. i got it taken out oct. 1st 3 1/2 inches big no cancer most people are shocked b/c im only 14.

just had this done a few hours ago. it was no big deal at all. for me, no different than getting a shot at the dentist.

I really don't understand her laughing and talking while having it done. I have one every year and am not aloud to even swallow much less joke around. I have never had anything at all to numb me so maybe she has had something really good and feels nothing. It isn't a great thing to have but definitely worth it to know what you're dealing with.

I had this done a couple of months ago and have to have it done again... if they get the same results (atypical cells) they want to remove the cyst... boo.
I have to agree - it seems like the doc moved the needle around a lot in this vid - for me it was a lot quicker. Hurt for about a week afterwards.

The simple benign cyst can also be treated by PEI procedure.

Just had this done today (6 mm) and the only pain was the anesthetic injection. It's 3 hours later now and a little sore but not too bad. She isn't supposed to laugh or breathe while the needle in in there, let alone laugh. Also, what is so funny? I wasn't laughing. But yeah they have to vigorously move the needle up and down to get fluid from the cyst into the tiny needle.
