Question about adrenal gland lesions?!
Question: Question about adrenal gland lesions.?
I have a low thyroid function, the dr checked this when i told him I was ALWAYS tired. I also have abdominal pain. So the Dr did a CT and found a 3 cm lesion on my adrenal gland. Could this be effecting my thyroid.?
Are they going to want to remove this.? I keep getting contradictory info on websites I read on the internet.
Im really scared
Thank youHealth Question & Answer
