Can thyroid nodules 2 mm be eliminated?

2 mm thyroid nodules usually do not disappear on their own. Regular examination is required. The doctor will decide the treatment plan according to the specific situation. In general, 2 mm thyroid nodules are difficult to eliminate on their own. Thyroid nodules are localized masses in the thyroid gland. Most thyroid nodules are benign, but some may be malignant. The size, shape, number, location, and texture of nodules may affect their nature and treatment options. For smaller thyroid nodules,(e.g. 2 mm), your doctor will usually recommend regular ultrasound to monitor the nodule. If the nodule does not change significantly, it usually does not require immediate treatment. However, if the nodule shows significant enlargement, morphological changes, calcification, abnormal blood flow, etc. during follow-up, your doctor may recommend further examination or treatment. The treatment methods of thyroid nodules include surgical treatment, radioactive iodine treatment, drug treatment, etc. The specific treatment scheme should be considered comprehensively according to the nature, size, symptoms, age and health status of the patient. It is important to note that although 2 mm thyroid nodules usually do not require immediate treatment, patients should pay close attention to the development of nodules and follow the doctor's recommendations for regular examinations and follow-up. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and reduced iodine intake, can also help maintain thyroid health. For pregnant women and lactating women, if thyroid nodules are found, they should seek medical attention promptly and inform the doctor of their pregnancy or lactation so that the doctor can choose the appropriate examination and treatment method. In short, thyroid nodules of 2 mm generally do not eliminate themselves, and regular examinations and follow-up are required according to specific conditions, and appropriate treatment is carried out under the guidance of the doctor. If there is any doubt about the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules, it is recommended to consult a professional endocrinologist or thyroid surgeon.
