A member asked:
Hi i've got under active thyroid & i've now found out that i have nodules on my right side what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid nodules: When a thyroid gland becomes underactive, often it can get fibrotic (scar tissue), and that can appear as nodules. Also, the elevated TSH from when you were hypo will stimulate thyroid growth. Thyroid nodules raise the issue of thyroid cancer, but the likelihood is low, especially if the nodules are small (.
