How to check thyroid?
Thyroid examination begins with the surgeon checking the size of the thyroid gland. Whether there is swelling. Nodules, whether the boundary is clear, whether there is hoarseness and dysphagia caused by goiter compressing recurrent laryngeal nerve. Blood tests have five or seven thyroid functions. Understand whether there is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and do thyroid ultrasound examination at the same time. If it is subchronic multiple thyroid nodules, you can check the thyroid radionuclide scan if you are worried about cancer. Generally, normal human examination surgery and thyroid ultrasound are enough, and other examinations are not needed.
