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. Is surgery recommended for a Category 3 thyroid nodule?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodule category four, I don't think surgery is necessary. Category four thyroid nodules are still benign. If the nodule size is not considered large, it can also be inferred from the comprehensive evaluation of thyroid function for irregular follow-up. However, if the nodule is very large, over one centimeter, and the size is decreasing rapidly, then it needs to be considered for surgery. However, after surgery, there may be a possibility of thyroid function economic recession, and it needs to be carefully considered, comprehensively evaluate the pros and cons before making a decision.
