A member asked:

Should i consider surgery to removed thyroid gland with nodule(4.30cm6.06cm5.75cm)+ others not as big.w/several cystic areas?non benign/cont.growth

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid nodules: This is a large nodule. What is meant by "non benign"? Has it been biopsied? Presumably this is "cold" on RAI scan and you are not hyperthyroid. There are many factors; talk to your endocrinologist. The main reasons for surgery would be 1. suspicion of cancer, 2. large nodule causing trouble swallowing/breathing. Surgery should be by an experienced thyroid surgeon (not just anyone).
