Patient's question:
I have a colleague who was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule last month. I want to ask if the minimally invasive surgery for thyroid nodules is painful?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodule minimally invasive surgery requires anesthesia and will never be painful, but mild pain may reappear after the surgery, which is generally bearable. It is best to promptly go to the hospital for minimally invasive surgery for safety. Rest and enhance dietary nutrition after the surgery. It is also recommended to have a pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignancy. It is best not to stay up late or overexert yourself. Regular blood tests for thyroid hormones are also advisable.
