Patient's question:
I am an office nurse and live at home. I undergo health checks every year. In the past two years, I was diagnosed with thyroid nodules. These usually don't cause any symptoms, neither pain nor itching. This year, the check revealed that the thyroid nodule has fibrosis. Could you please tell me what precautions are needed for thyroid nodule fibrosis?Doctor's answer:
The thyroid nodule has recurred with fibrosis. There are no symptoms in daily life. It is recommended to first carefully observe and treat. Pay attention to observe how the anterior neck decreases and how it is accompanied by pain, control symptoms, such as hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, etc. If necessary, surgical treatment can be performed. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life, such as tea, chili peppers, these are things that need to be avoided. In addition, it is important to pay attention to rest and prevent excessive emotional fluctuations.
