A member asked:

Tiny thyroid cysts seen on the ultrasound; what symptoms can such cysts cause ? also will this can be dangerous for me if left without treatment

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endocrinologist: A Thyroidologist or endocrinologist is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you. In my experience, multiple thyroid cysts are usually a benign finding and require no treatment if your thyroid function is normal.
