A member asked:

My thyroid results say that my thyroid is small with a heterogenous echotexture with no visual nodules. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

THYROID SCAN: Tis sounds like a description of a "normal thyroid gland," effectively ruling out areas of abnormal activity. If your thyroid studies are otherwise normal and you are asymptomatic, I would not waste any further energy on this issue.
