Was told i have a cyst on my thyroid. what is it? endo says it doesn't do anything.whatever that means

Listen to endo: Hi. The endo specializes in this kinda thing; listen to her/him. Cysts are very unlikely to be cancer. If you drain them, they tend to re-accumulate (unless alcohol is infused after drainage). They don't affect thyroid function. Get a second opinion if it would make you more comfortable. Good luck!

Cyst: is a collection of fluid inside a cavity. In the thyroid cysts are common. As long as your thyroid functions normally, no further action is needed. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
