How to treat thyroid nodules?

Thyroid nodules are not a diagnosis, but a description of new organisms in the thyroid gland. Treatment measures for thyroid nodules are as follows:

1, nodular goiter, bilateral multiple nodules in thyroid, smooth nodule shape, poor blood flow signal, mostly considered as benign changes. For this benign change, if the patient has no conscious symptoms, he can be treated conservatively, observed and not operated.

2. Malignant thyroid tumor. If the nodule is accompanied by microcalcification, fine needle aspiration is confirmed as cancer. Surgical treatment is recommended regardless of the size of the nodule. In recent years, the treatment of malignant tumor < 1 cm is controversial and can be followed up. However, clinical data show that the probability of lymphatic metastasis is about 40% even for small cancers. Therefore, if the microcarcinoma grows near the capsule, near a special position or near the trachea, active surgical treatment is recommended.
