How large are thyroid nodules suitable for thyroid ablation

Hello, under normal circumstances, the diameter of thyroid nodules exceeds centimeters, it needs to be surgically carried out**, if the thyroid nodules do not reach centimeters, it is recommended that you can do a color ultrasound of the thyroid part at 3 to 6 months to continue to observe, if the growth is fast in the short term, or some other symptoms appear, it is recommended that you have surgery in time.

According to your description, you have recently been diagnosed with thyroid nodule disease, which can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism or thyroid cyst, and your condition should be a solid nodule, if there are compression symptoms now, it can be performed by surgery**, if there are no compression symptoms, you can observe it regularly, during this period it can be carried out by medication**, of course, the thyroid nodule should be clarified**. In addition, patients should pay attention to rest, avoid excessive tension and fatigue, eat lightly, quit smoking and alcohol, and can appropriately consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as multigrain foods rich in trace elements, which is conducive to physical health.

Hello, thyroid nodule ablation, after all, is also a kind of surgery**, and on the whole, there is a certain risk. However, with active preoperative preparation, this risk is minimized.

Whether ablation can be done depends on the benign and malignant nodules, generally benign nodules smaller than 2cm can be observed first, and benign nodules larger than 5cm can be considered for surgery.

It is recommended that you have a comprehensive examination at a specialized hospital and make a plan according to the actual condition of your body!

If you suffer from thyroid disease, you must go to the hospital in time**.

Radiofrequency ablation may be available for some benign patients, and radiofrequency ablation may be considered for patients with partially benign thyroid nodules**. Thyroid function tests are required after ablation**, and if there is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, it is necessary to take drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets and methimazole for symptomatic treatment**, and the patient's thyroid function needs to be monitored in time during the process of drug taking.

However, radiofrequency ablation is generally not recommended for patients with some malignant thyroid nodules. After the diagnosis is confirmed by needle biopsy pathological examination, it is necessary to consider early surgical treatment of the disease, and the patient needs to take levothyroxine sodium tablets for thyroxine supplementation in the body after the operation. Patients need to be re-examined about six months after surgery, and if necessary, a full-body PET-CT examination should be considered.

OK.

Thyroid ablation surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that does not require an incision, mainly through microwave and radiofrequency techniques, and directly acts on the thyroid nodules. The biggest advantage of ablation surgery is that there is no trauma, there is no unsightly scar after surgery, and the recovery is fast, so you can be discharged from the hospital after the surgery.

Precautions for ablation of thyroid nodules.

Protect the eye of the surgical needle, keep it dry, and ensure that it does not touch water for at least three days to avoid infection.

Pay attention to postoperative bleeding, and if the patient has significant dyspnea or neck pressure within 48 hours after radiofrequency, it is necessary to consider whether postoperative bleeding is a problem, and if necessary, emergency management should be carried out.

Re-examination of thyroid function, most patients only have one nodule radiofrequency, thyroid function is normal, if the radiofrequency range is too large, it may affect thyroid function.
