Ablation of hyperthyroidism with nodules is generally not recommended if the nodules are malignant; if they are benign, they can be ablated.
Thyroid ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that removes necrotic tissue through radiofrequency ablation without causing damage to normal tissue. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and has the advantage of being less invasive and faster recovery.
Thyroid nodules are a common thyroid disorder that occurs when thyroid cells proliferate abnormally, resulting in a confined mass in the thyroid tissue. Thyroid ablation is mainly applicable to benign thyroid nodules, and ablation is performed for nodules of smaller size, and nodules less than 1 centimeter can be selected for ablation treatment. Ablation is generally not recommended for malignant thyroid nodules.
Patients with thyroid nodules combined with hyperthyroidism who need ablation should be guided and advised by a specialist to choose their own suitable treatment plan.
If the hyperthyroid nodule is benign and solitary, radiofrequency ablation can be performed. If the hyperthyroidism with nodules is malignant, radiofrequency ablation is usually not possible and thyroidectomy is usually required for treatment.
Hyperthyroidism with nodules should be treated in a hospital under a doctor’s supervision.
