Treatment of thyroid nodules

I believe that everyone is not very familiar with the occurrence of thyroid nodules. It has become a very common disease. Women are prone to thyroid nodules when they enter middle age. The appearance of thyroid nodules will have a great impact on the patient's life. When the disease occurs, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Everyone should understand that early treatment of thyroid nodules is very important.

There are currently many treatments for thyroid nodules. Sclerotherapy, surgical treatment, thyroid hormone suppression treatment, etc. are all very common treatments. Patients with thyroid nodules should undergo a comprehensive examination before treatment to understand the condition, which will facilitate treatment.

1. Sclerotherapy: diagnosis and confirmation of benign nodules. How to diagnose and treat thyroid nodules? Especially autonomous functional thyroid nodules and adenomas, parathyroid adenomas, etc. can be diagnosed and treated in this way.

2. Thyroid hormone suppression treatment: If short-term treatment is ineffective, the treatment of thyroid nodules must last at least half a year. Premenopausal women require higher doses to suppress TSH. If the nodule shrinks, the dose of thyroxine can be reduced to maintain TSH within normal limits.

3. Radiotherapy: Autonomous functional/highly functional thyroid nodules and adenomas can be appropriately diagnosed and treated because of their ability to concentrate iodine.

4. Surgical treatment: For some patients who have been ill for a long time, whose tumors are large and hard, and have a tendency to become malignant, we also remind them to actively undergo surgical resection. We should try our best to adopt surgical treatment in time, and make pathological sections to confirm whether the tumor is benign or malignant. After surgery, Chinese medicine is used for consolidation treatment to prevent recurrence. Because surgery is only a local treatment method, tumor growth in a certain part of the body is a local phenomenon of a systemic disease. For most cancer patients, local treatment cannot solve the problem and only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Practice has shown that a large number of recurrence and metastasis cases after tumor surgery are enough to show that local treatment is difficult to cure the tumor.

Everyone should have some understanding of the treatment of thyroid nodules now. Friends with thyroid nodules must find the cause of the disease in time. Only after finding the cause can scientific treatment be carried out. Patients must not blindly seek treatment because of anxiety. If the best treatment time is missed, the health of the body will be greatly affected.
