My sister is 44 years old and had an ultrasound with the impression being irregular lobulated thyroid gland bilaterally with extensive cystic degeneration and heterogeneous tissue. Findings indicate advanced multinodular thyroid disease. What does this mean? She has an appt with an endocronologist, her gynocologist was freaked out and told her to get in as soon as possible.

Hi Cailino,
The gynecologist was freaked out with the reason. This is not something to ignore. Advanced multinodular thyroid disease can be caused by thyroid enlargement, also known as goiter. She should do the CT scan as soon as she can, because it will show her more accurate condition of her condition. Is she using any medication right now? I think doctor should prescribe her some medication to control enlarged thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland is not functioning well it can mess up her hormones, and this is not something that you want at that age. In few years she will have menopause and the process could be complicated with bad thyroid involved. She really needs treatment, maybe even surgery for the thyroid.
