Lv Bin, Department of General Surgery, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis usually lasts from 1 to 2 years, and is usually treated with thyroxine tablets and reviewed regularly, but is prone to recurrence after stopping the medication. The reason is that Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is prone to hypothyroidism, so surgery is generally not recommended, but attention should be paid to the presence of isolated nodules, because Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can also be combined with thyroid cancer, attention can be paid to the review of ultrasound, fine needle aspiration is helpful for diagnosis. In addition, if the thyroid gland is too large and presses on the trachea causing suffocating shortness of breath, there is also an indication for surgery.
