Do not blindly do thyroid nodules neurovascular surgery or accidental injury hazard even worse

Endemic goiter, growth retardation and other children's diseases caused by iodine deficiency has been left to the people the pain of a lifetime to make people aware of the dangers of iodine deficiency. Thus, universal iodine, as a state policy implemented since 1994, followed by salt, iodine and other iodine-containing soy foods fast all households. But recently, online rumors about the "excessive iodine intake disease," post, so eat more than ten years of iodine-containing foods, iodine deficiency has long been out of embarrassing people once again trapped in a "iodine storm."

Iodine deficiency iodine, sounds reasonable, but everything particular about a degree, the same iodine, iodine supplement more equally harmful to humans. In recent years, admitted to a number of major hospitals in our province because of excessive iodine intake Erzhi goiter patients. Endocrine and thyroid specialists believe that this long-term consumption of iodine-containing foods and the people are. Members of the public confused: In the immediate living environment, how can we prevent iodine thyroid disease, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer What is the difference? Recently, this reporter interviewed with these problems large and medium-chi, director of endocrine-Japan Friendship Hospital, Wang.

Deputy Director Wang said the normal structure of thyroid nodules are thyroid abnormalities occurred. As the living conditions and dietary habits change, the decline in their immune system and many other factors working together, China's current number of people suffering from thyroid nodules there is indeed a rising trend.

Scientific diet to prevent iodine thyroid disease

With the improvement of living standards, people not only among the intake of iodine from salt, seafood and other seafood, and grown in iodine-rich soil in the vegetable ingredients are also a lot of iodine. World Health Organization designated the human iodine intake of 150 micrograms / day is safe, and long-term complications of excessive iodine can lead to the emergence of iodine. Wang said that if a person's diet in the same environment have emerged in abnormal thyroid swelling or nodule, should first consider whether the eating habits of science, according to the doctor's advice to improve the diet. Iodine content in food animal foods than plant foods, fruits and vegetables, low iodine content. In addition, the iodine case of acidic substances will be destroyed. Therefore, the cooking time add the right amount of vinegar, iodine consumption rate can be reduced by 40% - 60%. Eat soy products. Soy contains a variety of saponins, saponins easily lead to both prevent arteriosclerosis and aging of the lipid peroxide production, can inhibit the absorption of fat and promote fat break down. In addition, saponins also has a row of iodine effect.

Most thyroid nodules do not need an operation

Professor Wang, currently a common thyroid nodules, including thyroid hyperplastic nodule cyst, tumor nodules, cystic nodules and inflammatory nodules four. The formation of the majority of thyroid nodules, the patient no special feeling, it is usually in the examination process was only a doctor suggested that only the nodule is large, patients who are easy to find touch.

Many patients have thyroid nodules that their own, the pressure is very large, that had cancer, they immediately went to a doctor for surgery of thyroid Division requirements. However, according to clinical investigation in recent years, the report showed that 95% were found to have thyroid nodules as benign lesions. Part of the patient's nodules can be self-limiting, while a number of inflammatory nodules, the patient as long as directed by your doctor to improve their living habits, taking drugs, the nodule will be significantly reduced. Therefore, even if occurring thyroid nodules found themselves need not be unduly alarmed, but in time to the hospital for treatment and regular follow-up is very necessary. Recommendations for patients with nodules, every six months or a year do a thyroid ultrasound examination, if necessary, biopsy cytological examination can be carried out.

Doctors do not advocate blind patients in surgery, removal of nodules Another important reason is that taking into account the difficult thyroid surgery. Location of peripheral vascular abnormalities of thyroid-rich, and are more involved in the organ, the patient surgical procedures have been accidentally injure blood vessels or nerves of the risks, which would result in irreversible consequences for the patient. In addition, if the thyroid were cut too much, can lead to postoperative hypothyroidism symptoms occur, affecting their health.

Thyroid cancer to determine a standard

To determine whether suffering from thyroid cancer, Wang, director of listed seven basic criteria. 1. Patient's age. Under normal circumstances, 20 years of age and 70 years old is a high incidence of thyroid cancer in two stages. 2. Patient's gender. Thyroid cancer in a male patient majority. 3. Ill family history. Because thyroid cancer have a certain genetic predisposition, so that if any immediate family members of patients with thyroid cancer, other family members should be classified as high-risk groups. If these people abnormal thyroid nodules should be a high priority. 4. The head and neck radiation therapy had history. 5. Nodule growth rate, activity. If the nodules developed rapidly in the short term, and difficult activities, they should promptly requested medical attention. 6. Caused by the trachea and other local organs of oppression, there swallowing, pronunciation difficulties. 7. Regional lymph nodes. Thyroid cancer invasion and foci can be transferred around and make it swollen lymph nodes.

Typical thyroid cancer can be through a professional diagnosis of thyroid ultrasonography, the condition can also be complicated by fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid tumor biopsy to determine the nature of. Currently, surgical resection of lesions is still the preferred method of treatment of thyroid cancer. If early detection of thyroid cancer and receive regular treatment, the prognosis for long-term survival rates higher than the other types of cancer.

How to prevent the occurrence of thyroid disease, Deputy Director Wang believes that the public must pay attention to routine physical examination. After 20 years of age should do a thyroid ultrasound examination every year for a family history of high-risk groups should be closely monitored, preferably once every six months follow-up examination. At the same time, regulate the pace of life, maintaining emotional stability. Enhance immunity and reduce infection.
