Can thyroid nodules be treated with traditional Chinese medicine? What are the good methods?

Thyroid nodules are the name of a disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, the main causes of thyroid nodules are emotional trauma, acclimatization, or congenital factors. Generally speaking, Western medicine treatment mainly uses drugs or surgery. So what are the treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine?

1. The treatment of thyroid nodules requires scientific diagnosis, differentiation of symptoms, and treatment based on the disease.

Expert: It is precisely because of the diversity of thyroid nodules' tissues that the clinical manifestations are less specific and difficult to judge the nature of thyroid nodules. In particular, benign nodules can have the manifestations of malignant tumors, and malignant tumors grow slowly and resemble benign nodules. Therefore, the diagnosis of thyroid nodules cannot be based solely on laboratory tests or physical examinations. It requires a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and even pathological examinations to make a judgment.

2. Correctly view the traditional treatment of thyroid nodules

Traditional treatments for thyroid nodules generally include surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment.

Surgical destructive treatment is also widely used in nodule treatment, and the treatment effect is relatively outstanding. However, in view of the fact that surgical treatment is prone to recurrence, postoperative complications, and high costs, experts recommend that patients should use it with caution. Non-surgical treatment is generally through traditional drug treatment, but long-term use of drugs has extremely toxic side effects on the human liver and kidneys. Some drugs only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Some patients have to face lifelong medication treatment.

3. Authoritative treatment plan for thyroid nodules - Combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat thyroid nodules

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of thyroid nodules mainly adopts comprehensive treatment measures combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which has become one of the important topics of clinical research at home and abroad in recent years. From the numerous traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment measures, it can be seen that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is becoming more and more effective in treating thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cysts.
