Aunt Wang, from Shanxi, found a pimple on the right side of her neck some time ago. Originally, I didn’t think it was painful or itchy, so I didn’t take it to heart, but I couldn’t resist the persuasion of my family, so I went to the hospital for an examination.
The diagnosis results showed that Aunt Wang had lesions in her thyroid gland, and she needed surgery as soon as possible, and she needed to stay in the hospital for observation. Aunt Wang’s family is very puzzled about this, and there is no abnormality in her body, why did it turn into cancer?
A “meat bump” grows here, or is it a precursor to thyroid cancer? Special attention should be paid to those over the age of 40
Why do thyroid nodules develop lesions? The main reasons are diet, long-term emotional depression, and exposure to electrical radiation. If nodules are left unchecked, there is a risk of cancer.
Pimples on the neck, usually there are two cases:
One is the lymph nodes are inflamed and swollen, The second is abnormal thyroid hormone secretion and nodules.
Because thyroid cancer can easily cause swollen lymph nodes, if it has been left untreated, it will cause cysts, which is what we usually call “flesh bumps”. The reason why people over 40 years old should pay more attention is that with the increase of age, the body’s immunity and organ function will decline relatively, and the probability of being troubled by diseases will be greater.
In addition to the symptoms of “meat bumps”, what are the early manifestations of thyroid cancer?
1. Hoarseness
The thyroid nodule continues to grow, threatening surrounding organs, such as compressing the laryngeal tissue or trachea, which can lead to hoarseness and difficulty breathing. So if this symptom persists, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.
2. Body fat
When the secretion of thyroid hormone is too low, the body’s oxygen consumption and production The calories will be reduced, that is, the metabolic rate will drop significantly, the food eaten every day will not be digested and stored in the body, which will lead to obesity for a long time.
3. Frequent heart palpitations
Thyroid hormones affect the operation of various physiological functions of the human body. When the human body is in a state of extreme relaxation, if the thyroid function is damaged , then there will be a state of panic.
These people should check their thyroid regularly:
①If you have a family history of thyroid cancer, it is best Have a thyroid ultrasound checked once a year.
②People who stay up late for a long time will have a weakened immunity, and the hormone levels in the body will be disordered, resulting in abnormal cell metabolism and impaired thyroid function
③Long-term high-iodine diet or intake If you eat too many hormone-containing foods, such as out-of-season fruits, you should regularly check thyroid ultrasound.
To maintain the thyroid gland, you should also maintain 2 good habits in life
1. Supplements
2. Regular exercise p>
Maintaining the habit of exercising can greatly improve the immunity of the body, so as to better resist the invasion of foreign viruses and prevent the deterioration of the disease. Taking time out each week to exercise can be of great benefit to your health.
