A thyroid nodule refers to a lump in the thyroid gland, which can move rapidly up and down with dry swallowing. It is a common clinical diagnosis disease that can be caused by various different reasons. In the early stage, there are no obvious conscious symptoms, only a hard and painless lump appears in the thyroid, with an uneven surface, rapid growth rate, irregular shape, and poor mobility. In the later stage, it grows rapidly and may cause compression symptoms, such as difficulty in voice, swallowing, and breathing, as well as local lymph node enlargement or distant metastasis.
