Malignant nodules: Nodules that have been diagnosed as thyroid cancer need immediate surgical treatment regardless of size.
Nodules with compression symptoms: if the nodules are large, they will cause compression symptoms to the surrounding tissues, such as dyspnea and dysphagia, and require surgical treatment.
Hyperthyroid nodules: For the nodules that cause hyperthyroidism, corresponding treatment is needed to restore normal thyroid function.
For asymptomatic benign nodules, there is generally no need for special treatment, but close observation is needed, thyroid ultrasound and thyroid function examination are reviewed regularly to monitor the changes of nodules. During the observation period, if the nodules have changes or symptoms, further evaluation and treatment are needed. At the same time, we should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and living habits to maintain good health.
It should be noted that for the treatment of thyroid nodules, regular medical institutions and experienced doctors should be selected for evaluation and treatment to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
