Nowadays, routine physical examinations always include a touch of the neck, but this is a seemingly simple “touch”, but some people “feel” the problem – the physical examination report more The five big words “thyroid nodules” are eye-catching. If we upgrade the medical checkup and do an ultrasound of the thyroid gland, I believe more people will become “nodules”. We recommend that patients with thyroid nodules pay attention to the “three notes”. The malignancy rate of simple thyroid nodules is very low, with malignant lesions accounting for only about 2-5%. However, it is important to follow up regularly. Generally speaking, thyroid ultrasound and serum thyroid function indicators should be reviewed in 6-12 months to prevent the development and changes of the disease and missed treatment. Even if the nodules are confirmed to be malignant, there is no need to talk about cancer. The common papillary carcinoma has a cure rate of 90% after surgery, which does not affect the quality of life and life expectancy too much, so there is no need to be too nervous and afraid of delaying the treatment. Even for benign nodules, some patients may have psychological stress, cannot sleep at night and live in fear. In this case, surgery can also be performed to relieve the patient’s worries, the current thyroid nodule surgery is very mature and advanced, will not cause adverse consequences. Insufficient or excessive iodine intake can cause thyroid lesions. With the abundance of iodine in the diet, thyroid nodules caused by iodine deficiency have become very rare. Therefore, in daily coastal areas people should control iodine intake and iodized salt consumption. In general, a daily intake of 100-200 micrograms of iodine is sufficient for adults. The enzymes needed to catalyze this reaction are easily damaged and disturbed by harmful chemicals, especially some synthetic chemicals such as thiocyanates, perchlorates, pesticides, harmful chemical gases, and excessive food additives, etc. When these chemicals are present in food, nodules are easily induced. In the daily diet, consume less expired and spoiled foods and foods containing synthetic chemicals; avoid consuming large amounts of cruciferous foods rich in thiocyanate (such as broccoli, radish, cabbage, etc.) in a short period of time for smokers; avoid consuming cruciferous foods and fruits rich in flavonoids (such as oranges, pears, apples, grapes, etc.) at the same time; eat more foods that have the effect of eliminating nodules and dispersing swelling, including rhizome, rape, mustard, kiwi, etc.; eat more foods that have the effect of eliminating nodules and dispersing swelling. The food with the effect of reducing swelling, including rhizome, rape, mustard, kiwi, etc.; eat more food with immune system enhancement, such as mushrooms, mushrooms, fungus, walnuts, barley, red dates, yam and fresh fruits, etc. Note 3: Adjustment of emotions Chinese medicine believes that thyroid nodules are “disease caused by emotions”, especially for people who are under stress at work, emotionally unstable and often depressed and angry. Therefore, it is important to adjust your mind, get rid of bad emotional stimuli, and always be “calm and peaceful”. Overexertion will increase the burden on the thyroid gland and reduce the immunity of the body. In the long run, the thyroid gland is in an unstable state and is prone to lesions under the influence of external factors, such as chemical stimuli or germs and viruses. Therefore, combining work and rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and work style is also an effective way to prevent thyroid disease. In Chinese medicine, the Chinese herbal medicines are usually used to relieve qi and depression and dissolve phlegm and nodules, such as Xuan Shen, Oyster, Zhe Bei Mu, Xiang Shen and Yu Jin.
