How to treat hyperthyroid nodules

The treatment of hyperthyroid nodules needs to be judged according to the nature and size of the nodules. Active treatment of hyperthyroidism and control of thyroid hormones within the normal range mainly includes medication, radioactive iodine and surgery. If the nodule is benign and the size of the nodule is small, it can be treated by anti-thyroid drugs, such as methimazole and propylthiouracil; it can also be treated by radioactive iodine. With stable thyroid function, thyroid nodules usually do not increase in size, and regular rechecking of thyroid function and thyroid ultrasound is sufficient. If the nodule is malignant or the size of the nodule is relatively large, and there are compression symptoms, such as difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, etc., then surgical treatment is recommended. In conclusion, hyperthyroid nodules are recommended to go to the hospital, according to the specific situation to take individualized treatment plan.
