Patient's question:
Feeling unwell, I had no appetite even after dinner. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it was a thyroid nodule. Do thyroid nodules need to be pressed?Doctor's answer:
How thyroid nodules may need surgery is usually determined by the results of careful examinations, the size of the nodules, and whether they are benign or malignant. General practitioners will confirm the need for surgery based on your symptoms, combined with color Doppler MRI and other examination conditions. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid drinking beer, prevent spicy and greasy foods, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and other vitamin-rich foods. Regular follow-up examinations are recommended. However, if the examination reveals thyroid function abnormalities, medication alone may not fully cure the condition. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo surgery to completely remove the thyroid nodule and prevent local thyroid nodule expansion from controlling nerves and blood vessels.
