What are the symptoms of thyroid nodules?

There were no obvious symptoms in the early stage, only a hard and painless lump appeared in the thyroid gland, with uneven surface, rapid growth, irregular shape and poor mobility. In the later stage, it can grow rapidly, with symptoms of oppression such as hoarseness, dysphagia and dyspnea, local lymph node enlargement or distant metastasis.

Some patients have acute onset, fever, sore throat, goiter on one or both sides, local pain accompanied by hard thyroid texture, which often radiates behind the ear and the top of the back of the head, accompanied by obvious pain and tenderness of the thyroid body.

The onset or development process is slow, the goiter is asymmetrical, the nodule is hard and fixed with the adjacent tissue outside the gland, and there is dull pain and tenderness locally, accompanied by obvious compression symptoms, but the local lymph nodes are not enlarged.
