Will thyroid nodules heal themselves?

Thyroid nodules usually do not heal and require regular review or treatment. Thyroid nodules generally do not heal. Thyroid nodules are localized masses in the thyroid gland. Most thyroid nodules are benign, and only a few may be malignant. Thyroid nodules may be caused by abnormal iodine intake, autoimmune thyroiditis, thyroid degeneration, history of radiation exposure, genetic factors, etc. For most thyroid nodules, doctors usually recommend regular ultrasound examinations to observe the size, shape, number, blood flow, etc. of the nodules, and determine whether further treatment is needed based on the results of the examination. If the nodule is small and has no obvious symptoms, it usually does not need immediate treatment, but regular follow-up is needed. If the nodule is large, or there are compression symptoms, malignant tendencies, etc., surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, etc. may be needed. It should be noted that the treatment of thyroid nodules should be based on individual conditions. Patients should be treated under the guidance of doctors and regularly reviewed according to medical advice. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and reducing radiation exposure, can also help thyroid health. If thyroid nodules are found, they should be treated promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment advice. For special groups such as pregnant women, lactating women, and children, thyroid nodules need to be handled with greater caution and under the guidance of a doctor.
