How can i address benign thyroid nodules and low tsh?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
TSH : The nodules may be benign but hyper functioning. A radioactive iodine uptake scan will highlight these nodules. Hyper function would account for low tsh.

Need further eval: The low TSH needs to be addressed as it can cause problems for you. In the presence of thyroid nodules, you will need a thyroid uptake and scan to make sure the nodules are not producing too much thyroid hormones. Treatment then would be antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or surgery. You should not be doing nothing with a low tsh.
