There are two types of treatment for early thyroid nodules. When benign thyroid nodules are small in early stages, they usually do not require treatment or can be treated with a small amount of thyroxine medication and Chinese medicine anti-nodule medication. Most patients can get some control over the nodules and avoid developing into larger masses. For benign thyroid nodules >4cm, surgery must be performed, and the earlier the nodules of thyroid cancer are treated, the better the results. Therefore, early diagnosis of benign or malignant thyroid nodules is necessary. Benign nodules should be treated with relevant medications, while malignant nodules can be treated with surgery in time.
