Recommendation for Thyroid Check-ups

If you have received regular health care and have no symptoms of thyroid disease, you may not need to see a doctor to check for thyroid disease. However, if you are concerned about being exposed to iodine-131 from Hanford or experience thyroid disease symptoms, you should see your doctor for a thyroid examination.
