Hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism, is a chronic condition and is not a cancer.
Hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism for short, is a pathological condition in which tissues are deficient in the action of thyroid hormones or lack thereof. The vast majority of hypothyroidism is primary hypothyroidism, and the vast majority of primary hypothyroidism is caused by radioactive iodine treatment of the thyroid gland, autoimmune thyroiditis, or thyroid surgery.
Clinically, there are three types of hypothyroidism according to the age of the onset of the disease: hypothyroidism begins in the fetal period or shortly after the birth of newborns, called cretinism; hypothyroidism begins in pre-developmental childhood, called juvenile hypothyroidism; hypothyroidism begins in adulthood, called hypothyroidism, and in severe cases, called mucous oedema.
In contrast, cancer of the thyroid gland is generally referred to as a malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. A history of radiation exposure, inappropriate iodine intake, lymphoid thyroiditis, hormonal causes, and family history are all possible risk factors for thyroid cancer.
Patients with hypothyroidism do not need to worry too much, but it is important to make a timely diagnosis, and the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome.
