Thyroid cancer: The lesser-known warning sign of your risk found in the ear

Thyroid cancer is a rare type of cancer affecting the thyroid gland which is a small gland at the base of the neck producing hormones. Women are two to three times more likely to develop it than men. Having this sensation in your ear could indicate your risk of the disease.

It’s not usually clear what causes thyroid cells to grow uncontrollably but there are a number of things that can increase your risk.

It is important to note that having any of the risk factors doesn’t mean that you will definitely develop cancer.
