How to treat thyroid lumps

Treatment of thyroid lumps depends on the specifics of the lump, and treatment of lumps caused by different diseases varies. Most of the thyroid lumps are caused by: thyroid nodules, thyroid tumors, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis, thyroid cancer and other causes. 1. Treatment of thyroid nodules: If the nodule is benign and small in size, there are no symptoms of pressure, and there are no obvious abnormalities in the function of the thyroid gland, no special treatment is usually needed, as long as the nodule is reviewed regularly. If the thyroid nodule is large and there is a certain degree of pressure, surgical treatment should be considered. If the nodule is malignant, a total or secondary thyroidectomy will be required. 2. Treatment of thyroid adenoma: First of all, the nature of the thyroid adenoma should be determined, whether there is malignant lesion or not, and then the specific treatment should be combined with the specific situation. 3.Treatment of thyroid cancer: Most of the treatment is based on surgical excision, and if necessary, it can be combined with related isotope iodine 131 treatment. 4.Treatment of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: If the thyroid function is normal, no special treatment is needed. If the thyroid gland is hypothyroid, then thyroid hormone replacement therapy is required. After thyroid surgery, it is important to have your thyroid function reviewed regularly.
