How to treat patients with thyroid nodules?

In order to avoid confusion with other thyroid-related diseases, it is necessary to contact an endocrinologist for another B-ultrasound review and thyroid function examination. According to the examination results, it can be judged whether it belongs to benign lesions, most of which are benign lesions and most of which do not need surgery. Only when the thyroid nodule has compressed the trachea or esophagus, resulting in difficulty in breathing or swallowing, or the possibility of malignant transformation and progressive growth of the thyroid nodule is high, surgery is needed, and the size of the nodule is no longer an indication for surgery. However, there is a relative surgical indication in the guide, that is, regardless of the size of the nodule, surgical resection can also be considered as long as it has a great impact on the psychological pressure or appearance of the patient. After thyroid nodule surgery, it should be noted that in order to avoid damaging the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it is often dissected, which may cause edema of the recurrent laryngeal nerve or affect its blood supply, so it will be more difficult to speak. With the regression of edema and the recovery of blood supply, this phenomenon will gradually disappear about 3 months after operation.
