I had an ultrasound of my thyroid done yesterday. The DR calls me today and says that my thyroid is enlarged. All my bloodwork results are normal. I am going to the endo. Dr on Oct 14. My question is what could this be?? The DR did not say there were any cysts, or anything like that. Just that the thyroid is enlarged and they would refer me to the endo dr. Any info would be helpful! Thanks!Tuesday, September 27, 2011

april - Mine is enlarged also and my blood work was normal. My dr showed no concern.
ReplyDeletecbrdgt. - Many people have enlarged thyroids, and they usually aren't anything to be alarmed about. Lack of iodine in a diet can cause it to become enlarged, but autoimmune diseases like Graves' or Hashimoto's. Those sometimes run in families. An endocrinologist specializes in thyroid disorders, so they are more knowledgeable with treating you.
