The company implements health checks every year. This year, it was found that I have a thyroid nodule. I don't feel any pain or itching. What symptoms can a thyroid nodule cause?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodules can be solitary or multiple. Multiple nodules have a higher incidence rate than solitary nodules, but solitary nodules have a higher incidence rate of thyroid cancer.
