Anyone know anything about thyroid nodules. I have 1 thyroid gland left now I have 3 on the other one.?

I had one gland removed because of a nodule now over a period of 6 months they have found 3 more nodules on my remaining gland. They want me to see a specialist. We all know what that means. The nodules don't bother me at all like my other one did. Is it really necessary to remove my remaining gland. They are benign at least the other one was.

    the thing is, even though that one was benign, there is not telling that the others will be for sure, even though the chances are slim. seeing a specialist will be the best think just in case. emerging nodules should always be dealt with

    You only have one thyroid gland, so they either removed part of it or removed your parathyroid. If you have nodules on your thyroid usually they will try thyroid meds to shrink them first or just leave them alone. However, if they continue to grow, they will most likely remove the whole thyroid gland making you become hypothyroid. Once hypothyroid, you will take 1 pill every day to produce you with the hormone that you no longer will be making.
