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 regulate my body. Is the thyroid nodule 16mm in size?Doctor's answer:
A thyroid nodule of 16 mm reappearing is relatively large, and in such a case, it is more likely to interfere with and compress surrounding organs. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. Although there are no symptoms at present, timely treatment is still necessary. For this type of thyroid nodule, it is essential to pay attention to preventing the recurrence of malignant inflammation. Additionally, thyroid function tests should be conducted to determine if hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism is present.
