Enlarged prostate. I am tired alot of the time and I am having a hard time losing weight. Is this something that I should be concerned about? Are there more extensive tests that might detect a problem rather that blood test? This is not the first time that I have had to have my thyroid tested. The doctor that I used to see as a teenager also felt like it was enlarged, but the tests have always came back okay. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
The blood tests are the most sensitive way of detecting both low and high thyroid. Some individuals thyroids are a little larger than others and this does not correlate with disease.
