lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. A thyroid nodule can be of many different types. So it is difficult to say whether it can cause hypothyroidism or not. If it is a large nodule may lead to goiter and hypothyroidism. Most important is test the hormone levels and also monitor the nodule periodically for any change in size and its nature. Thanks.
