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. What should I do about the nodular goiter with cystic changes?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, nodular thyroid cysts are never life-threatening, although they may potentially cause abnormal thyroid function. If the nature of the cyst changes again, it may indicate malignancy, and surgery is recommended. Additionally, it is necessary to promptly check thyroid function. If there are significant abnormalities in function, surgery is required, as conservative treatment is ineffective.
