What happens if a thyroid problem is left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You suffer: Either too high or too low a thyroid hormone level can damage your health over time. Ignoring a thyroid nodule that is cancerous is an obvious risk. Why leave your problem untreated when proper treatment is easy and inexpensive?
