A member asked:
I have thyroid nodules 1cm is the biggest one. the ultrasound said no follow up needed but should i still have a specialist look at it?

Follow up needed: An ultrasound does not decide what is needed, it only contributes to a meaningful decision. Follow up with your doc will be needed as all information should be integrated in a clinical context. Your doc may decide to refer you to an endocrinologist.
