Question 2

can my thyroid gland be acting up do to pain on the left side of my neck?

Accepted Answer

May be: The question is not very clear. If you have pain in one side of the neck, it not likely to be due to thyroid gland. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 3

if the thyroid gland is swollen on one side, is it that side that's hyper functioning ?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: You can't tell if something is hyperfunctioning from thephysical appearance of the gland.  A thyroid scan is the best method to suggest whether or not a lobe is hyperfunctioning.

Question 4

can one side of your thyroid gland be bigger than the other? when i feel both sides the right side feels more bumpy and swollen

Accepted Answer

Yes, possible!: Hi. You could have an asymmetric diffuse goiter or a nodule on one side. Do you have a thyroid diagnosis? See your doctor for a good thyroid exam. Good luck!

Question 5

any body know about thyroid gland removal side effects..?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism: If the whole thyroid gland is removed, then the person need to take thyroid hormone to replace the thyroid function. Thyroid hormone is effective and very safe. Rarely, the operation can damage the nerve that controls the vocal cord. The parathyroid glands scan be damaged and cause a low blood calcium. This can be corrected with oral calcium. These are complications rather than side effects.

Question 6

i was cut by accident in my neck. the doctor removed the left side of my thyroid gland. was that necessary? wouldn't it have healed on its own?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the damag: I would trust you doctor in that case, i'm sure if it didn't need to be taken out he would not as assumed the extra risks of surgery.

Question 7

thyroid tests normal. have swelling in thyroid gland on one side. getting ultrasound done. what r the chances it is cancer?

Accepted Answer

Very low chance: It is not really possible to state with certainty whether you have cancer or not, let's get that out of the way first.  However, for ALL patient's getting evaluated for thyroid nodules (which you may or may not have), 95% are NOT cancer, but rather simple functional or non-functional cysts and nodules.  Take a deep breath, have your ultrasound, and it's very likely everything will be fine.

Question 8

i have a 8.5 cm nodule on one side and a 2.0 cm nodule on the other side of my thyroid gland. my doctor says i need a raiu, then go see an enchronolog?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid mass: You should consider a biopsy first. One may also consider surgery. A negative biopsy is not 100% accurate. Sometimes small cancers can be missed. The growth of nodules are important also. If rapid growth then remove. Slow growth favors benignity but does not guarantee it. In short take out the large nodules.

Question 9

can anxiety and stress give you swollen thyroid gland? i was diagnosed with globus but also sent for an ultrasound since one side of thyroid was swol.

Accepted Answer

No, but hyperthy-: roidism can make you feel anxious.

Question 10

i have a swollen thyroid gland and on palpitation a lump on both sides but more prominent on right side of the neck it is painless though is it cancer?

Accepted Answer

You need to be exami: Likely not. Could be subacute thyroiditis. However you need to be examined and seen by an endocrinologist
