A member asked:

What exactly does hyperthyroidism mean if someone has had their thyroid gland removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Once yourthyroid gland is completely removed you would not have any thyroid hormones left to cause hyperthyroidism(excess of thyroid hormone) unless you are taking too much of thyroid hormone by mouth.Ask your endocrinologist who is treating you already.
