Degenerative thymic insufficiency is usually caused by congenital factors and requires prompt medical treatment once detected.
The thymus gland is located behind the sternal stalk, which is usually larger in infancy or early childhood and will gradually shrink and become smaller in adulthood. The occurrence of thymic degenerative insufficiency is usually related to its congenital factors, which means that the thymus gland of the patient has a low degeneration degree, which can be manifested as a shadow of the outer side of the pericardium in the chest radiographs or chest CT examinations, which has no impact on the human body, and therefore does not need to be treated in general.
In addition, patients need to strengthen the dietary nutrition to supplement vitamins and trace elements, and also need to exercise to improve physical fitness, which will promote the degeneration of the thymus.
