Patient's question:
Smoked for over ten years, it is indeed very difficult to quit smoking. Recently found out that I have thyroid nodules, can people with thyroid nodules smoke?Doctor's answer:
If you have thyroid nodules, the first step is to confirm the size, number, and specific location of the thyroid nodules. After being diagnosed with this condition, it is generally necessary to quit smoking because smoking may lead to certain diseases and also slow down the complete recovery from the illness. Therefore, you can first go to the hospital for a blood test to determine the status of your thyroid function. If the thyroid function is basically normal, then no treatment measures are needed at the moment, and regular monitoring can be conducted.
