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 been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can I eat tofu with thyroid nodules?Doctor's answer:
Of course, you can eat tofu if you have thyroid nodules! The recurrence of thyroid nodules is not related to food, although the specific reasons are still unclear. However, after developing thyroid nodules, it is recommended to further undergo blood tests to check thyroid function. If you show symptoms of hyperthyroidism, you should eat less iodine-rich foods. Conversely, if you exhibit symptoms of hypothyroidism, in addition to medication, you should consume more iodine-rich foods.
