Thyroid mass: Is it cystic or solid? Are thyroid function tests normal or abnormal? They will better answer whether thyroid is under-/over-active. Consult with fp or gyn concerning the mass. If it's benign, tft's are normal, & mass isn't compressing vital structures, may need to be resected only due to size & cosmesis.
