Color ultrasound examination alone cannot clearly diagnose whether the nodules are benign or malignant. If the thyroid nodule is benign, then there is usually no big problem. The patient only needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, receive correct drug treatment in a timely manner, and undergo surgical treatment when necessary.
