Thyroid nodule ultrasound benign and malignant

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, and now I want to stop taking the medication and adjust my condition. Please ask about the benign or malignant nature of the thyroid nodule based on the ultrasound.

Doctor's answer:

The patient does not need to be overly anxious, as thyroid nodules are usually benign. If the patient experiences other symptoms again, such as neck pain, hoarseness, or difficulty breathing, it is recommended to undergo a fine-needle aspiration examination for pathological confirmation to determine the benign or malignant nature of the thyroid. If a malignant diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to arrange for surgery as soon as possible to prevent missing the opportunity for treatment.
