We often encounter many patients with nodules in the thyroid gland during physical examinations. In fact, there is no need to be nervous when you see such results, because the incidence of thyroid nodules is very high and many people have them, most of them have existed for a long time, but they were not detected because the thyroid gland was not considered as a routine medical examination item in the past. It is true that a small percentage of thyroid nodules are malignant tumors, but most are benign and do not require special treatment and can be reviewed regularly. So, what should we do if we find a thyroid nodule? If the possibility of tumor is considered, the specialist will recommend further examination, which is mainly a fine needle aspiration biopsy, which is invasive but less invasive, but not every hospital can do it; if the possibility of benign is considered, then you can put your mind at ease. If the possibility of benign is high, then you can put your heart in your stomach and just review it regularly. Although thyroid function cannot determine the nature of the nodule, a large percentage of patients with thyroid nodules also have other thyroid-related disorders, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, so it is not redundant to have them checked at the same time. As to whether thyroid nodules need to be treated with medication, Western medicine generally believes that no medication is needed, but from the theory of Chinese medicine, this is a phlegm coagulation, qi aggregation and blood stasis, the use of Chinese medicine to regulate the nodules will have a certain effect on shrinking or reducing the symptoms.
