Patient's question:
I took my mom for a health check-up the day before yesterday and found a thyroid nodule. But my mom doesn't feel any pain and her body is otherwise fine. She doesn't want to seek treatment. Can thyroid nodules heal on their own?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, thyroid nodules cannot heal on their own. The incidence of thyroid nodules is high, but the vast majority are benign, with very few being malignant. Regarding the specific treatment for your mother's condition, you should follow the advice of a specialist doctor. If it is a case of multiple nodules, it usually does not interfere with health, and regular check-ups are sufficient. It is recommended to undergo relevant examinations at the hospital and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
