A member asked:
Should i be worried if i have a heterogeneous atrophic thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: It implies that much of your thyroid gland is not producing thyroid hormone. There can be many reasons. To properly interpret and manage this situation, the thyroid function tests and size,texture, and nodularity of the gland on exam need to be known.
