Patient's question:
My neck is a bit swollen, not painful or itchy, but there are some small hard lumps. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a thyroid nodule. It's not difficult to treat, mainly just need to pay attention to it, and recommend a regular diet for survival. It will gradually improve. I want to know what foods should be avoided with thyroid nodules.Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodules are relatively common and easily developed endocrine diseases. Generally, they do not cause clinical diagnostic symptoms. When the nodules are larger, they may cause compression symptoms, such as hoarseness, discomfort during dry swallowing, and a feeling of difficult breathing. As high-functioning nodules, a low-iodine diet is necessary to avoid the consumption of fish and shrimp. It is recommended to eat high-protein and easily digestible foods. Pay attention to rest and undergo regular follow-up ultrasound and laboratory tests.
