Suggest Treatment For A Thyroid Cyst
Hi, I have a thyroid cyst. It has been there for 3-4 years. I did have a biopsy 2 years ago and it was benign. I am losing insurance benefits, and starting to wonder if I should have had it removed. I don t have a doctor currently, so I m not sure exactly what the best route to take is. Do I go to a GP or endoctrinist?

Hello,
Thyroid cyst are usually benign. Most go away on their own. In some cases, the doctor may shrink a thyroid cyst by :
-removing fluid from it with a needle,
-recommend surgery to remove the nodule, or
-prescribe medicine.
You should consult an endocrinologist for the correct method of treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
