Nodules may grow in many parts, such as the lungs, breast, thyroid, etc., may grow nodules, so should the nodules in these parts be cut?
1. Thyroid nodules
Thyroid nodules can generally be divided into neoplastic nodules, hyperplastic nodular goiter, inflammatory nodules, and cysts, some of which can be felt by hand, and some of which are found by ultrasound examination.
However, for nodules with a larger size and more than 1 cm, the possibility of canceration is relatively high, so it is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible for resection.
2. Breast nodules
It is still relatively common for women to suffer from breast nodules. Breast nodules are generally difficult to touch with hands and can be found through mammography screening. If it is found that the diameter of the breast nodule exceeds 1 cm, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to remove it in time to avoid cancer.

If the diameter of the pulmonary nodule exceeds one centimeter, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible, cooperate with the doctor in time to remove the nodule, and conduct pathological analysis to determine the follow-up treatment plan.
