Treat thyroid disease to avoid the butterfly effect

Thyroid disease is a relatively common disease at present. If this disease is not treated for a long time, it will develop into a very serious disease and even cause serious harm. Therefore, many patients with thyroid disease want to know more about the treatment of thyroid disease to avoid the butterfly effect. In order for you to understand it as soon as possible, please take a look at the answer below.

Refuse over-treatment to avoid the "butterfly effect"

Although the incidence of thyroid disease in the population is over 30%, most of them are benign and do not require treatment. For example, simple goiter, benign thyroid nodules, adolescent goiter, etc. do not require treatment. They only require regular follow-up and are well controlled under the guidance of a doctor. Patients can live and work normally. Even for thyroid cancer, since most of them have low malignancy, reasonable treatment can also give patients a good prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly understand thyroid disease, avoid the butterfly effect it brings, and refuse over-treatment.

Doctors remind that once thyroid nodules are detected, they should not be ignored and further diagnosis should be made to determine whether they are malignant. Of course, there is no need to be nervous if thyroid nodules are found, because most thyroid tumors are curable diseases. Some people also develop picky eating habits after discovering thyroid nodules. They stop eating seafood, iodized salt, and even dare not eat kelp. This is completely unnecessary and normal diet should not be affected. Excessive iodine intake is not good, but too little can also cause certain diseases. The key is still the "degree". If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for a urine iodine test and adjust according to your own situation.

Do thyroid nodules require surgery?

The incidence of thyroid nodules in the population is too high. Once a thyroid nodule is discovered, there is no need to dismiss it. If it is a small benign nodule less than 1 cm or around 1 cm in size, you can go to the hospital for regular follow-up. Benign nodules around 2-3 cm can be removed by ablation. For benign nodules larger than 4 cm, if compression symptoms occur, surgery can be used to treat them.

But it should be noted that whether a thyroid nodule is benign or malignant is not determined by its size. Even if malignant nodules are very small, they should be taken seriously.

After understanding the above content, I believe you also understand whether thyroid nodules require surgical treatment. For patients with this disease, do not ignore it, because this disease is very harmful to the body. After understanding the above content, conduct a comprehensive examination and then conduct careful treatment. After treatment, there will be good treatment effects.
