What should patients with thyroid nodules pay attention to?

Patient's question:

A few months ago, I suddenly felt uncomfortable with my thyroid. The result was that I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. The doctor said this is a troublesome disease, and we need to pay attention to many aspects of our diet. What assistance is needed: What should thyroid nodule patients pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Foods to Avoid for Thyroid Nodules:
1. Avoid seafood and irritating foods: Because seafood contains iodine, and consuming iodine can worsen the condition of thyroid nodule patients.
3. Avoid strong tea, as thyroid nodule patients have accelerated metabolism, which may lead to symptoms such as slowed heart rate or palpitations.
2. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers, ginger, and raw garlic, as thyroid nodule patients are often in a highly excited state, making it unsuitable to consume strongly irritating foods like chili peppers.
