Thyroid nodules can be asymptomatic in some patients, and some patients may have pain and pressure symptoms; benign asymptomatic thyroid nodules with normal thyroid function tests are usually not harmful, while malignant nodules with pressure symptoms usually require surgical treatment, and non-standardized treatments may threaten the health of patients. Thyroid nodule patients in most cases have no obvious clinical manifestations, some patients may have symptoms such as pain around the nodule, foreign body sensation in the throat, etc. When the thyroid nodule is large and compresses the surrounding tissues, it may have symptoms such as dysphagia and dyspnea; Thyroid nodules associated with hyperthyroidism may have symptoms such as palpitations, lethargy, sweating, etc. Thyroid nodules associated with hypothyroidism may have symptoms such as fatigue, chills and constipation. Asymptomatic benign thyroid nodules with normal thyroid function do not require special treatment and usually do not cause great harm, and regular observation is sufficient; malignant thyroid nodules or large nodules that cause compression symptoms are recommended to be treated with surgery, which may threaten the patient’s health and even life if left untreated. Patients diagnosed with thyroid nodules should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
