"What are the Herbal Formulas for Thyroid Nodules?"

Thyroid nodule is a common disease. After being affected by thyroid nodule, the pain is not obvious, and there are no other significant symptoms. However, it can be judged from the abnormality of thyroid function. For example, abnormal thyroid function can easily lead to hyperthyroidism, and patients may have symptoms such as increased appetite, irritability, menstrual disorders, etc. Severe patients may also have symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing and breathing, which require timely treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Below, let's take a look at the traditional Chinese medicine formulas for thyroid nodule.

Thyroid nodule is a disease name in Western medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the root cause of this disease is internal injury caused by diet and water and soil suitability, which is also closely related to the constitution. It is believed that a bad temper can lead to the loss of nutrition for the normal body fluids, which can easily condense into phlegm. Dietary imbalance or living in high mountain areas with unsuitable water and soil can affect the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to the accumulation of dampness and formation of phlegm. In general, phlegm is an important pathogenic factor of this disease, and the selection of prescriptions and medications varies according to different constitutions.

For thyroid nodule accompanied by chest tightness and depression, Sihaishuyu Pill can be taken; for thyroid nodule that is hard to the touch, with persistent swelling accompanied by chest tightness and anorexia, which is caused by blood stasis, Haizao Yuhu Tang can be taken; for moderate swelling of thyroid nodule that is soft and smooth to the touch, with symptoms such as irritability, anger, prominent eyeballs, facial heat, and bitter taste in the mouth, Zhizi Qinggan Tang can be taken.

Usually, when thyroid nodule occurs, people do not feel significant pain or symptoms. However, it can be judged from the abnormal performance of thyroid function. Abnormal thyroid function may lead to hyperthyroidism, which can bring about improved appetite, increased food intake, excessive sweating, and irritability. Female patients may also experience menstrual disorders. In more severe cases, people may experience difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, and hoarse voice. The appearance of the above symptoms may indicate thyroid nodule. However, it is usually benign and will heal spontaneously after a certain period of time. Some thyroid nodules may deteriorate, but there is no need to be afraid. As long as timely treatment is given, there will be no major problems.

First, smoking and alcohol should be quit. Second, fried foods should be eaten less. Finally, seaweed, which is a favorite food for many people, should also be consumed sparingly.
