A member asked:
Would thyroid be a reccuring problem even if half has been removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Original cause: It depends on the original reason for removing 1/2 the thyroid. If it was a nodule, then you may have more nodules in the remaining lobe. If you had hashimotos, then you may still have it.
