The main symptoms of thyroid nodules are pain around the nodule, discomfort in the throat, the patient's neck may have edema, and there may also be breathing difficulties, difficulty swallowing and other symptoms. If accompanied by hyperthyroidism, there will also be excessive sweating, palpitations, fatigue and other symptoms. Small thyroid nodules have no obvious symptoms, so most of them are found during physical examination, but if the nodules increase significantly, they can cause localized lumps, throat discomfort, pain and other symptoms, so you need to go to the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery in a timely manner to consult the doctor, who will give you reasonable advice according to your specific situation, and consider surgical resection of larger nodules, usually quit smoking and drinking, and refrain from eating spicy and stimulating food. The symptoms of thyroid nodules are closely related to the cause of thyroid nodules. If it is an inflammatory disease, symptoms such as fever and neck pain may occur simultaneously when thyroid nodules arise. In the case of a new organism, including benign and malignant thyroid tumors, symptoms are related to the size and number of nodules. If the nodules are relatively large, there may be a neck lump and we can see the swollen nodules through the skin. In the case of malignant tumors, the nodules can invade the nerves and symptoms such as hoarseness and choking on water may occur. Thyroid nodules are lumps that grow on the thyroid gland. The first symptom is swelling in the neck. If the nodule is too large or too numerous, the swelling will become more pronounced. If the tumor is too large, normal tissues such as the esophagus will be compressed and difficulty swallowing and choking will occur. At this point, surgical removal should be considered. If it is an inflammatory thyroid nodule, it will not only be swollen, but will also be accompanied by a generalized low-grade fever and diffuse pain in the thyroid region, which will require anti-inflammatory medication.
