Thyroid gland palpation can initially determine whether there is a nodule, but further refinement of ultrasound, fine needle aspiration cytology examination, etc. is required. Thyroid palpation can initially determine whether a nodule is present or not, and can also determine the size, texture, and mobility of the nodule, whether there is any adhesion to the surrounding tissues, and whether there is any pressure pain. However, for smaller nodules, it is necessary to rely on imaging tests such as thyroid ultrasound to make a judgment. If thyroid palpation reveals nodules, further investigations such as thyroid color ultrasound, neck CT, fine needle aspiration cytology, and thyroid function tests should be performed to clarify the diagnosis. If thyroid nodules are detected by thyroid palpation, it is recommended to consult a hospital to clarify the nature of the nodules.
