What symptom does thyroid have a bit big

summary

Goiter is a common clinical sign, which may be physiological or pathological. It should be analyzed and differentiated in detail to avoid missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. At the same time, it should be differentiated from other cervical masses. It should be pointed out that the size of the thyroid volume is not directly related to its function, goiter does not necessarily mean increased thyroid function, and small thyroid does not rule out its hyperthyroidism. 　

What symptom does thyroid have a bit big

First: the main symptoms and signs are palpitation, chest tightness, fear of heat, sweating, shaking hands, insomnia, hyperappetite, emaciation, fatigue, diarrhea, goiter and exophthalmos. The onset is more acute. One or both sides of the thyroid gland are swollen and hard, accompanied by local pain, and often radiate to the back of the ear and the top of the back head. There may be chills and fever in the whole body. Most of them are found in middle-aged women Diffuse enlargement; some nodules, no pain, generally no systemic symptoms.

Second: the mass in one lobe of thyroid gland grows slowly, usually single, with complete capsule, clear boundary with surrounding normal tissue, without pain and tenderness. The texture of the nodule is medium hard, the surface is smooth, and does not adhere to the surrounding. It can move up and down with swallowing, and the neck is thickened (caused by goiter). The texture is generally soft. When the swelling is obvious, the mass in front of neck can protrude forward Falling or backward compression can cause poor breathing, even dyspnea, or even a sense of choking.

Third: the size and hardness of nodules in nodular type can be uneven, and some nodules are relatively hard; generally, there are no systemic symptoms, with local epidemic history, and there are no obvious self-conscious symptoms in the early stage. Only there is a hard painless mass in the anterior cervical region, with uneven surface, rapid growth rate of the mass, and little up and down movement when swallowing.

matters needing attention

Mild or moderate goiter, smooth surface, soft texture, normal thyroid function, often self recovery, should be ruled out hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and other causes of goiter.
