What Could Cause Benign Cysts In Thyroid?
I have a large and a couple of small benign cysts in my thyroid. Dr says they are benign but I am concerned. I also have pain in my jaw and ear that has just presented. I also have been lightheaded. My blood tests show normal thyroid functions. Should I be concerned.

hello
benign cysts are very common , and i dont think you have to be concerned. only if the cyst becomes painful, enlarges rapidly or you develop difficulty in breathing, swallowing or speaking , it may need surgery, otherwise.. relax, you have nothing to worry!
thanks
