    Wu, urban readers a day before yesterday said that they conduct an annual medical examination of workers were organized, because he suffers from diabetes, and attached great importance to the annual physical examination. Last year, physical examination, he was not found to have thyroid nodules, and this year only to find the three physical examination, some doctors said that his need for surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, but some doctors that there is no surgical treatment, which left him difficult, do not know how to do? Because he suspected he was suffering from thyroid nodules with the "excess iodine" relevant, so the day before he went to the supermarket to buy "non-iodized salt," eating, he was almost running all over the city of Jinhua in all supermarkets, but they did not sell. He said that could help him to ask Jinhua Where can I buy "no salt"?

    Yesterday, a reader called the urban area, said one of his classmates, as with thyroid cyst excision was done two years ago, he was very worried that she would suffer from this disease, he asked Jinhua suffering from thyroid disease there were many people suffering from thyroid disease, what with the "iodine excess" has nothing to do with?



    Department of Endocrinology, Central Hospital, Jinhua, director, chief physician Hu Su-Yin said that in the country does not promote consumption of iodized salt prior to the city's goiter (commonly known as big neck disease) were more prevalent, and swelling are generally more serious, since the taking iodized salt, the kind of patient is very rare, with iodized salt in prevention of thyroid disease, it can be said to go up.

    HU Su-Yin said that from Jinhua Central Hospital out-patient situation, the city is now suffering from thyroid disease than in patients who have increased, particularly in patients with hyperthyroidism. But the cause of thyroid disease for many reasons: because iodine is the synthesis of thyroid hormone as a raw material, so long-term excessive intake of iodine can cause; a faster pace of modern life, the pressure had caused the General Assembly; exertion, trauma, pollution and environmental factors were also cause. Therefore, for the city in recent years an increase in thyroid disease patients who have no relationship with the consumption of iodized salt, it's hard to say.

    Jinhua Guangfu Hospital, Surgical Oncology Director, Chief Physician ming dynasty, from the hospital to patients in Kwong Fuk see, Jinhua suffering from thyroid cancer patients than in the past a number of previously encountered only 12 cases a year, but now a month will encounter 12 cases, the growth rate is indeed faster. Thyroid cancer and the relationship between iodine intake may be a bit too much. Because there is no contrast material, has not conducted research, as Jinhua suffering from thyroid cancer patients than in the past with the consumption of iodized salt has nothing to do with, can not be conclusive.



    Jinhua reporter visited the day before yesterday, found that the major supermarkets, supermarkets do not sell non-iodized salt, while the hyperthyroid patient is definitely not consumption of iodized salt, then what Jinhua Where can I buy non-iodized salt do? This reporter called the Jinhua Salt Company, Salt's wholesale department staff surnamed Fu said that in order to ensure the general population iodine intake, there are provisions above, non-iodized salt is usually not enter the supermarket sales, for the suffering Thyroid disease can not consume iodized salt to buy non-iodized salt, if special populations, can be set up in their company, Jiangxi Road, Wu-monopoly point Yancang Lane purchase, purchase to be issued by the doctor's prescription or proof.

    HU Su-Yin said that if the people concerned about their intake of iodine excess, you can own at home through a number of tips to "reduce iodine treatment." Of iodized salt can be poured into clean, dry and slightly heated pot duplicating the few, the iodine content of iodized salt will be reduced. Of iodized salt can also be stored off Cap 2 to 3 days, the iodine in salt will also be part of the volatile off. Drying under the sun to get iodized salt, iodine would evaporate away.





    Non-smooth texture hardware may be cancer

    Ming dynasty, thyroid disease, there are many, in addition to hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, there are thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, thyroiditis, thyroid cyst. For thyroid nodules, iodine deficiency in the human body, or would give rise to excessive iodine intake, the patient what is required or prohibited iodine supplementation of iodine intake, this needs to be known isotope scan. As far as he understood that at present there is no such inspection equipment Jinhua, Hangzhou, Zhejiang is located in a hospital, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital equipment definite diagnosis by the hospital. Dynasty noted that it is suffering from thyroid cysts and nodules where bleeding because the bleeding caused by thyroid nodules where the probability of cysts are relatively high.

    Suffering from thyroid cancer surgery or not? Ming dynasty, for solitary thyroid tumor, hand-to-mass is not smooth, texture rather hard, the possibility of cancer is greater; the age of fourteen or fifteen years, the possibility of malignant relatively large; B-ultrasound and found that knot section, there are blood vessels, the probability of cancer is relatively large; B ultrasonic examination found that the edge of a small calcified nodule point, the possibility of malignant is relatively large. To do this for the solitary thyroid tumor, suspected to be malignant, requiring surgical removal and biopsy to diagnose. For the thyroid nodule, if the nodules in two centimeters, and can be observed on a regular basis, no surgical treatment, if the nodules in two centimeters or more, then needed surgery to prevent malignant transformation. Ming dynasty, one side of the thyroid gland removed, they have much influence on the body. If the sides are removed, an impact on the human body needs to supplement thyroid hormone. If there is no hormone human face appears swollen, general weakness.

    Ming dynasty, thyroid cyst Although most are benign, but if the cyst grows to 56 centimeters big, but also removed, otherwise they will get bigger, and even compression to the trachea, will bring more difficult surgery.
