Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a comprehensive health check-up and found that I had thyroid nodules. Recently, I've been feeling particularly uncomfortable, so I went for a more detailed examination. The doctor said they have grown very quickly. Thyroid nodule growth is fast? I want to consult an expert about what kind of medicine I should take to treat it.Doctor's answer:
After developing a thyroid nodule, if its growth rate is very fast, if the thyroid function is normal after a thorough examination, there is no need for special treatment. Eat more vegetables like Chinese cabbage and mustard greens, which have the effect of dissolving nodules and reducing swelling. Eat more foods like mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and coix seeds to enhance the body's immunity. Always maintain a cheerful mood, get proper deep sleep and exercise, and have regular follow-up examinations. If it is relatively large, surgery may be required to remove it.
