Thyroid Goirter related to Hepatitis B? Right side of throat Posted: 11-08-07 22:42pm
I have a goirter on the right side of my
throat...Today I had a Thyroid scan and
thyroid u/s....I was just reading on th
einternet about heromesis's disease...I
also found out a week ago, sometimes in
the past I had Hepatitis B...Can my
thyroid problem be related to the hep B? I
have no clue where I caught the Hep B, no
needles or sex w/infected people...Any
help?

There is no relation between Hepatitis B
and Thyroid disorders.
What's the size of the thyroid goiter?
Are you experiencing cough, a slight
change in your voice, or nighttime choking
episodes?
Was the the nodule noted as cold on
thyroid scanning?

The nodule is cold and there are actually
three of them. I am having surgery next
week to remove them. No FNA due to size
and symptoms. I am having blood pressure
problems, pressure on esophagus and
windpipe and pain and swelling in the
large goiter area.

What are like your thyroid hormone
levels?
Was the nature of the cold nodules (solid
versus fluid-filled) determined by an
ultrasound?
Don't worry to much!
Even among cold nodules, only a small
percentage are cancerous.
