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. What is the matter with my thyroid nodule enlargement?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodule swelling may be a symptom caused by hyperthyroidism. It is best to test thyroid function and treat accordingly. If the thyroid nodule is no larger than three centimeters, surgical treatment may not need to be considered. Thyroid nodules with benign inflammation do not cause significant interference to the body and will not lead to weight loss. Regular follow-up is sufficient. Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss.
