The detection rate of thyroid nodules is increasing and there is really no need to be overly concerned. Nodules that are reported to be malignant on ultrasound and those that are large enough to cause discomfort can be treated surgically. Nodules that are associated with hyperfunction also require surgical removal. However, for benign nodules, treatment with drugs to remove blood stasis and disperse nodules can reduce the size of about 60% of nodules, and some nodules can have less blood flow and disappear calcification. For benign nodules that grow again after surgery, drug therapy should be preferred. Patients with hypothyroidism and elevated immune indicators can take thyroxine tablets and selenium preparations, which can restore about 80% of the indicators to normal. Not all nodules should be removed, and removal cannot solve all problems. The best solution is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine and medical and surgical procedures.
