Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a thyroid nodule. Recently, I haven't been feeling well, and the doctor at the hospital prescribed Xiao Jin Wan for me. At the time, I didn't ask any questions and just took the medicine home. Then I remembered that I have a thyroid nodule, so I wanted to ask about this: is Xiao Jin Wan effective for people with thyroid nodules?Doctor's answer:
Xiaojin Wan, although a traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of resolving nodules, reducing swelling, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis, its efficacy in treating thyroid nodules is still not entirely clear. If thyroid nodules reappear, it is recommended to seek early follow-up and further examination in a regular hospital's department of thyroid and breast surgery or general surgery. Specific conditions should be clarified through standardized examinations such as thyroid function tests, thyroid ultrasound, and fine-needle aspiration cytology, followed by standardized treatment. For example, if the cytology test is positive, malignant inflammation is likely considered, and early surgery may be necessary.
