Patient's question:
Usually, people don't eat a lot of salt, but they develop thyroid nodules. How big are thyroid nodules for surgery?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodules are a relatively common disease, most of which are caused by emotional stimulation, hereditary factors across generations, or influences from diet and other aspects. Generally, they are benign tumors. For smaller thyroid nodules, clinical diagnosis, careful observation, and follow-up can be conducted, with periodic reviews. Surgical treatment should only be considered if symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, affecting eating and breathing, or symptoms like chest tightness occur.
