A member asked:
I had a neck ct scan an it showed that i now have numerous thyroid nodules and a cyst. since i'm having compressive symtoms do i need to have surgery?

Probably: The tyroid gland sits right on top of the larynx, trachea. As it enlarges due to the formation of multiple nodues, if they are not large and no compressive symptoms occur, one treats conservatively, possibly using hormone replacement if needed. If too large some form of cytoreduction may be needed.
