A member asked:
If the thyroid gland is swollen on one side, is it that side that's hyper functioning ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: You can't tell if something is hyperfunctioning from thephysical appearance of the gland. A thyroid scan is the best method to suggest whether or not a lobe is hyperfunctioning.
