Patient's question:
My boyfriend has been experiencing stomach pain recently. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the thyroid swelling was caused by iodine deficiency. Is thyroid swelling easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Patients with thyroid nodules experience recurrent tachycardia, insomnia with frequent dreams, and improved learning ability; female patients with thyroid nodules experience menstrual disorders, ultimately leading to menopause and difficulty conceiving; male patients with thyroid nodules experience decreased libido, premature ejaculation, and infertility. Unless the thyroid nodule is relatively large, causing interference with breathing and defecation due to tracheal or esophageal compression, or has been diagnosed as malignant, both of which require surgical treatment, the rest can be strictly treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine. What needs to be considered is an increase in thyroid hormone secretion, also known as hypothyroidism. Medication should be used intermittently, providing timely and effective treatment. The treatment process should be long. For effective treatment, medication should be taken intermittently. Eat more iodine-rich foods. Intermittent follow-up examinations should be conducted to closely monitor the complete recovery of thyroid nodule inflammation.
