Question

Are there any effective treatments for thyroid adenoma?

Answer

The cause of the disease is unknown, with pathological changes characterized by the proliferation of thyroid follicles and swelling of thyroid tissue. Benign tumors are generally soft in texture, while malignant ones are harder. Benign tumors are usually solitary in the neck, grow slowly, and when they become too large, may cause compression symptoms. The tumor can move up and down with throat movements, has a smooth surface, and is usually round or oval-shaped, potentially leading to hyperthyroidism. When tumors are too small or too large, consider surgical removal followed by radiotherapy to achieve inflammation reduction, blood circulation improvement, swelling reduction, and to facilitate wound healing, prevent infection, and minimize scar formation. Due to high patient metabolism rates, there may be calcium and phosphorus metabolism issues.
