A member asked:
What to do if i have an enlarged thyriod with multiple nodules. what am i to expect if i have it removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroidism: If it needs to be removed, have it done by a surgeon who does a lot of thyroid surgery. Complications will be less likely. The surgeon should remove all the thyroid, and you will need to take thyroid replacement, which is easy to adjust and you will feel fine. If the nodules are benign (on biopsy and ultrasound) and not too big, you may not need surgery.
