Surgery is not necessary for multiple thyroid nodules.
Patients with multiple thyroid nodules who do not have obvious clinical symptoms and are considered to have benign thyroid nodules generally do not need to consider surgical treatment, but they need to be evaluated with regular follow-up thyroid ultrasound and other relevant examinations.
However, for the color ultrasound examination, the aspect ratio is greater than 1, the nodule border is not clear, the shape is irregular, and the surrounding blood flow signal is rich, etc., according to the grading, it is necessary to improve the thyroid puncture biopsy, and the biopsy shows that it is malignant, or the nodule is large and produces the pressure symptoms, it is necessary to consider the surgical treatment.
If the thyroid function abnormalities need to be treated with medication, such as hyperthyroidism need to take propylthiouracil and other antithyroid drugs, such as hypothyroidism need to take levothyroxine sodium tablets for hormone replacement therapy.
Therefore, surgery is not always necessary for multiple thyroid nodules, and regular follow-up or surgery should be chosen under the guidance of specialists, taking into account the benign or malignant nature of the thyroid nodules.
Patients diagnosed with multiple thyroid nodules should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to determine whether surgery is needed in light of the specific situation.
