Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Do I need surgery for a thyroid nodule with a cystic component?Doctor's answer:
This requires looking at the specific size and dimensions of the nodule. If the nodule's size is not very large and there are no obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms or normal thyroid function, surgery is not necessary. In terms of diet, avoid consuming seafood and other marine products. Regularly undergo thyroid ultrasound examinations. However, if the nodule size is relatively large, this situation may require surgical intervention.
