Thyroid multiple cystic nodules, normal thyroid function, is it necessary to treat?

Don't be afraid to detect multiple bilateral thyroid nodules. Most of them are benign thyroid adenoma or nodular goiter. The size of tumor is not necessarily related to thyroid function. When the tumor is small (less than 1.0CM), it can be left untreated for the time being, or drugs such as thyroid tablets and Youjialuo can be taken, and kelp can be eaten more to inhibit tumor growth. Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor western medicine can make the tumor disappear completely, and the nodule will eventually need surgery when it grows up.

When the tumor is large, it can be treated surgically, and some patients may relapse after operation. The recurrence rate of nodular goiter after operation is high, and it can be treated again. In order to avoid repeated surgery for tumor recurrence, all western developed countries are now carrying out total thyroidectomy and oral thyroxine replacement therapy after operation, and the effect is quite satisfactory.

For young female patients, you can also choose minimally invasive endoscopic thyroid cosmetic surgery, which can achieve the purpose of leaving no scar on the neck and avoid the influence of scar on women's daily life, dress and social life and psychological harm to female patients.
