A member asked:
How does someone get nodules on their thyroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just because: Nodules are kind of like freckles of the thyroid. Many thyroids have nodules and some thyroids have many. Occasionally one of these nodules might be a cancer. We don't know exactly why people get cancer either.
