Hi, my name is Dr. Duan. Today we are going to talk about thyroid nodules.
Many people found thyroid nodules during the physical examination, which was the first time they attracted everyone’s attention. It turns out that there is an organ on the neck called “thyroid”. Thyroid nodules, as the name suggests, are lumps in the thyroid gland, which usually move up and down with swallowing in the throat. Most patients with thyroid nodules are asymptomatic, and many are discovered during a physical examination. Most thyroid nodules are benign, and a few are malignant, so they should be treated according to the doctor’s recommendation.
We have also introduced to you earlier that Chinese medicine does not have the name of thyroid nodules, but collectively refers to “gall” diseases. Why are there thyroid nodules? We have mentioned this issue many times, and it has a certain relationship with our mood, environment, lifestyle, including genetic factors. In modern society, the pace of life is fast, and everyone is generally under great pressure, and in recent years, there is a trend of younger people. When we are stressed for a long time and are in a tense state of mind, we are prone to anger, irritability, insomnia, etc. These adverse emotional factors will affect the normal operation of thyroid function. In addition, dietary habits, such as excessive consumption of iodine and spicy and stimulating foods, increase the burden on the thyroid and are prone to problems.
It is the season of mulberry market recently, many patients ask, I heard that mulberry is the hair of thyroid nodules, is that true? Next, I will talk about mulberries.
So, are mulberries really the hairs of thyroid nodules?
Mulberry is sweet in taste, cold in nature, and enters the heart, liver and kidney meridians. The taste is sweet and sour, and it is rich in nutrients and is loved by everyone. Moreover, mulberries have a large amount of vitamins and trace elements, which have the effects of clearing heat and nourishing, regulating the liver and nourishing the kidney. Usually eating some can also improve eyesight, beautify the face, and relax the bowels. Therefore, mulberries are not the hairs of thyroid nodules. Patients with nodules can also eat mulberries in moderation every day to supplement the vitamins needed by the body and improve resistance. In addition to eating mulberries directly, you can also drink dried mulberries in water, which can nourish the skin.
However, although mulberries are good, the following 4 types of people should not eat more.

4. Pregnant women. During pregnancy, women need to pay more attention to diet and lifestyle to avoid adverse effects on the body and the baby. Eating too much mulberry may cause stomach upset and diarrhea, so eat less.
