Denise Richards is thanking Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans for bringing a major health issue to her attention.
Many people watching the season 9 reunion on Bravo spoke out after noticing that Denise's thyroid looked unusually large… and it turns out they were right!
Denise posted before and after photos on Instagram, giving her sincere thanks to fans and saying that the comments urged her to check in with her doctor.
According to Mayo Clinic, an enlarged thyroid can be the sign of anything from simple inflammation to Hashimoto’s disease or even thyroid cancer.
