Alright, Well Im 19. I have ovarian cyst and a while back my doc said i had a nodule on my thyroid. I recently have found that is swells up.. or at least gets bigger and stays big for awhile. This has only happened one other time. This is the second time it has swollen up and wont go away. Its not painful really, but it does worry me. the constant headaches and nausea really NOT FUN at all. Sooo What i would like to know why im getting these cyst, When i should seek medical attention and if my thyroid cyst ruptures how will i know and what will happen?

I had a small nodule and it turned into cancer. They rarely go away on their own unless treated,

Nope Doc said it would go away on it own. i guess it was to small to worry about. At the moment i  have no job so i cant go to the doc. I just dont want something to happen. i dont know how serious this is.

     If you are having trouble with your thyroid, didn't your doctor recommend or prescribe potassium iodide?  Iodine is needed to keep the thyroid healthy.  Do you use iodized salt?  Sometimes we can get enough iodine from the salt... but it's best not to use too much salt.
So, it's a catch 22.  good, but bad.
    Ask your doctor to check your thyroid again and if you need potassium iodide to keep it healthy.
