How to deal with thyroid nodules (adenomas) in middle-aged men?

Thyroid adenoma is a common benign thyroid lesion in clinic. Generally speaking, different treatment methods can be adopted according to the size of thyroid adenoma and the different symptoms caused by patients. First, if the thyroid adenoma is small, such as less than 1 cm, patients often have no obvious symptoms such as pain and dysphagia. It is suggested that patients regularly check thyroid color Doppler ultrasound and thyroid function, and surgical resection is not needed for the time being. Second, if the thyroid adenoma is large, such as more than 5 cm, symptoms such as dysphagia and dyspnea often appear, which oppresses the trachea and esophagus. At this time, it is suggested that patients should undergo thyroid adenoma resection as soon as possible to relieve obstruction and avoid serious complications such as asphyxia caused by dyspnea.
