What does substantial thyroid damage mean

Substantial damage to the thyroid gland suggests the possible presence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and toxic diffuse goiter.
Substantial damage to the thyroid gland is an abnormality on ultrasound of the thyroid gland, which suggests that the thyroid cells are diseased due to infectious or non-infectious factors, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, toxic diffuse goiter, diffuse non-toxic goiter, and subacute thyroiditis.
If ultrasound reveals substantial damage to the thyroid gland, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a complete examination of thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies, and then proceed to the next step of treatment based on the results of the examination.
If there is substantial damage to the thyroid gland, it is recommended to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment.
