How to tell if your thyroid is normal

To determine whether the thyroid gland is normal, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a physical examination to check whether the thyroid gland is normal through general examination, laboratory examination and thyroid ultrasound.
1. General examination: The doctor will examine and palpate the thyroid gland to determine whether there are any abnormal growths or lumps in the thyroid gland, which will facilitate the subsequent laboratory tests.
2. Thyroid function: Blood tests to check serum free thyroxine, serum total thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone and other indicators can reveal whether the thyroid function is normal.
3. Thyroid color ultrasound: thyroid color ultrasound can reflect the structure of the thyroid gland, and it can be relatively timely to find out whether there is any blood flow abnormality or tumor and other abnormalities around the thyroid gland.
If the patient suspects that there are abnormalities in the structure or function of the thyroid gland, he or she should consult a doctor in a timely manner in order to clarify the cause of the disease and actively treat it.
