Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling unwell whenever I get off work. I suspect something's wrong with my body. Yesterday, I couldn't resist taking a day off to see a doctor. As it turns out, I have a thyroid goiter. How effective is the treatment for a thyroid goiter?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of goiter requires simultaneous thyroid function tests to confirm whether there is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Based on the examination results, medication or surgical treatment can be determined. However, if there is no thyroid function changes and it is simply a thyroid nodule swelling, without obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms, treatment can be deferred initially. However, it is necessary to pay attention to irregular follow-up examinations to monitor symptoms.
