Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I felt a bit of swelling in my thyroid. Today, after a careful examination, I found a thyroid nodule. What is the cause of a solitary thyroid nodule?Doctor's answer:
Single thyroid nodule, first consider thyroid adenoma. Most of them are benign tumors. If the nodule is large, it is necessary to have early surgical removal. If the nodule is small, it can be temporarily carefully observed, with a thyroid ultrasound every three months to monitor the growth rate of the nodule. If it grows rapidly, it also needs early removal. If the nodule grows extremely slowly, it can continue to be carefully observed or surgically removed.
