Question

Recently, I’ve been experiencing discomfort in my neck, which causes pain regardless of how I lie down. My sleep quality has significantly decreased, and I feel extremely uncomfortable. My appetite has also worsened. What is the best way to treat thyroid adenoma?

Answer

Thyroid adenoma is a relatively severe thyroid disease with a slow progression. Clinically, it can be diagnosed without any conscious symptoms. Most cases are asymptomatic for several months to years, even longer. Some thyroid adenomas may undergo recurrence and transform into cancer, with a cancer transformation rate of 10-20%. It is important to treat thyroid adenoma promptly. The decision on the treatment method is crucial, generally including surgical treatment and traditional Chinese medicine methods. Patients should determine the most suitable treatment based on their own condition.
