Kunena zowona, palibe chopewera chenicheni, koma anthu omwe athandizidwa ndi kuwala kumutu ndi khosi kapena omwe amakhala m'madera omwe mayesero a nyukiliya achitidwa ayenera kupindula ndi kuyang'anitsitsa kosavuta nthawi zonse. (palpation ya dera la chithokomiro).

Anthu osowa omwe ali pachiopsezo chachikulu cha khansa ya chithokomiro chifukwa cha kusintha kwa majini akhoza kukambirana ndi dokotala za phindu la zotheka kuteteza thyroidectomy, kuti achotse chithokomiro. Choncho tiyenera kupenda mosamala ubwino ndi kuipa kwa njira imeneyi.

Kwa anthu okhala pafupi ndi malo opangira magetsi a nyukiliya, njira zadzidzidzi zotetezera chithokomiro zimakonzedwa pakachitika ngozi yomwe ingatsatidwe ndi kutulutsidwa kwa zinyalala za nyukiliya. Iodide ya potaziyamu, yomwe imatchedwanso "iodine yokhazikika", ndi mankhwala omwe amaletsa zotsatira za ayodini wa radioactive pa chithokomiro. Chithokomiro chimakonza ayodini, kaya ndi radioactive kapena ayi. Mwa kukhutitsa gland ndi ayodini osatulutsa ma radio, chiwopsezo cha kuwonongeka chitha kuchepetsedwa.

Njira zogawira mankhwalawa zimasiyanasiyana kumadera osiyanasiyana komanso kumayiko ena. Anthu omwe amakhala pafupi ndi malo opangira magetsi atha kupeza zambiri kuchokera kumatauni awo.
