A member asked:

Had low tsh and positive antibodies postpartum. a few complex 3mm cyst/nodules that come and go. are these nodules normal with thyroiditos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low TSH: Complex cysts/nodules are common in the thyroid, but "low TSH" is usually needful of treatment. If you have had a thyroid scan to make certain that the "complex cysts" are not "cold nodules". it is important to see a specialist (endocrinologist) for treatment with additional thyroid hormone if necessary.
