A member asked:

What are the precautions you can take to avoid thyroid problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Hi. Thyroid problems generally break down into two categories, autoimmune and neoplasia. There is no routine thing people do that you can avoid to prevent either type of process. So live healthily, eat healthily, exercise regularly, don't smoke, and don't worry about your thyroid.
