Will thyroid nodules disappear? The answer is actually like this

As we all know, some nodules on the human body can heal themselves. So can nodules caused by thyroid nodules heal themselves and disappear on their own? Most people don't quite understand this. In fact, thyroid nodules are a disease that poses a great threat to human health. If they are not treated in time after discovery, they will not only not disappear but will worsen. Therefore, when we have thyroid nodules, we must treat them symptomatically and not delay the disease.

1. Solid single nodule

Experts say that different types of nodules require different treatments. Solid single nodules are treated with a trial of thyroid suppression via nuclear scanning. Cold nodules require surgery. Any single nodule that develops rapidly and has a hard texture is likely to be malignant, so surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

2. Multinodular goiter (MNG)

From a traditional perspective, the possibility of multi-nodular thyroid nodules becoming cancerous is low. High-resolution ultrasound examinations have revealed that many people diagnosed with single nodules actually have multiple nodules. It is now believed that there is not much difference in the incidence of cancer between the two. Therefore, the treatment of MNG must first exclude malignancy. A decrease in sTSH indicates a thyroid nodule. If the FNA cytology diagnosis is malignant or suspected of being malignant, surgical treatment should be given.

3. Cysts are benign or malignant degenerative

All kinds of thyroid changes can form cysts. Pure thyroid cysts are rare. Any persistent or recurrent mixed masses should be removed.

4. Intangible nodules

The development of B-ultrasound, CT, and MRI can detect small, impalpable thyroid nodules. This situation is more common in the elderly. If the nodule is smaller than 1.5 cm, it can be further treated under ultrasound guidance.

5. Radiating nodules

People who receive radiation therapy to the head and neck are prone to thyroid cancer, which can occur as early as 5 years after radiation and as late as 30 years. Patients who develop thyroid nodules after radiotherapy to the head and neck should undergo FNA for confirmation.

The treatment principles of thyroid nodules must be followed by every patient with thyroid nodules. There are many unfavorable factors in the treatment of thyroid nodules, and patients must understand them, such as the choice of medication, the choice of thyroid nodule hospital, and the choice of thyroid nodule specialist. In addition, we hope that patients with thyroid nodules will treat their disease with caution and avoid harm to the body caused by thyroid nodules. There are many unfavorable factors in the treatment of thyroid nodules, which patients must understand, such as the choice of medication.
