Is thyroid cystic nodule serious

summary

Analysis of the causes of thyroid nodules, most people know that iodine may eat less neck disease. However, if you eat too much iodine, you will also get thyroid nodules. Recently, many female sex friends were found with thyroid nodules in the neck during physical examination, and some of them still need thyroid nodule resection. Thyroid nodule, which has been ignored by people, has suddenly become a high incidence and common disease. What are the characteristics of thyroid nodules?

Is thyroid cystic nodule serious

The incidence rate of thyroid nodules is more than that of male thyroid nodules, or nodular thyroid cysts. It is divided into solitary nodules and multiple nodules. It is common in young and middle-aged people. It is more frequent in women aged 30 to 50 years. The incidence rate of female thyroid adenoma is 2 times to 4 times higher than that of men, especially in middle-aged women. The incidence rate of thyroid nodules increases year by year. The incidence of thyroid nodules increases by 0.1% at any age of 1 years. The incidence of thyroid nodules is over 10%.

Second: single is more dangerous than multiple. Although the incidence rate of thyroid nodules is very high, it is gratifying to note that most of them are benign and malignant nodules are less than 1%. However, we should pay more attention to single nodule. From the perspective of gender and age, older people and female patients have nodules, so they are more likely to have malignant tumors. If there is a single nodule, it should be paid more attention than multiple nodules. In addition, if the nodule is soft, smooth, not fixed with the surrounding tissue, and can move, the probability of benign tumor is high; if it is hard, fixed, and grows together with the surrounding tissue, and it is painless, the probability of malignant tumor is high.

Third: if it is calcified nodules, most of them are benign, and grow faster, it is more likely for malignant tumors. In addition, the nearby lymph node enlargement is often a malignant tumor; if there is pressure on the surrounding organs, it often leads to hoarseness, we should also be aware of the possibility of malignant tumor. Therefore, as long as thyroid nodules are found in the physical examination, they should be further examined in the specialized hospital as soon as possible.

matters needing attention

Many patients are caused by excessive iodine. If you live in coastal areas and eat a large amount of seafood with high iodine content for a long time, you will not lack iodine. In addition, iodized salt is added in your diet, which may cause excessive iodine and easily lead to thyroid nodules. There will also be suffering from thyroiditis thyroid nodules, when there are often fever, sore throat and significant thyroid pain and tenderness and other manifestations. Some cancers, such as papillary carcinoma, follicular cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma and medullary carcinoma, can also cause thyroid nodules.
