What are the symptoms of a thyroid cyst? What is a thyroid cyst?

Thyroid cysts are one of the most common diseases of the thyroid gland, and severe conditions can seriously affect their lives and work. Different people have different symptoms of thyroid cysts, so early symptomatic treatment is crucial. So what are the symptoms of a thyroid cyst?

The thyroid cyst lump is round, smooth, general** or slightly painful, and moves up and down with swallowing. Most are single nodules, but rarely multiple nodules. When the pressure inside the thyroid sac is not high, the texture is softer, and if there is more fluid, the texture will be harder.

The main symptoms are as follows:

1.Thyroid cysts grow slowly, are usually asymptomatic in the early stages, and are often discovered inadvertently or during physical examination. Cysts are mostly single or multiple, and the size of the lumps varies in size from peanuts to duck eggs.

The surface is smooth, the borders are clear, the texture is soft, and it slides up and down when swallowing without tenderness. Occasionally, the tumour may increase over a short period of time due to intracystic hemorrhage, and symptoms of local pain and pressure may occur, which may be accompanied by hoarseness and dyspnea.

.The neck is thickened (caused by a goiter) and is generally softer. When the swelling is significant, the lump in the front of the neck can protrude forward or fall backwards, causing shortness of breath or even difficulty breathing, or causing difficulty swallowing；Nodules may be uneven in size, hardness, and hardness, and some are hard; In general, there are no systemic symptoms.

At the beginning of the onset of thyroid cysts, patients do not have any symptoms, but if they do not, the cyst will gradually become larger, and harm will follow. Once the cyst is large or there is bleeding within the cyst, it will have a big impact on the safety of the patient. So what should patients pay attention to in their lives?

First of all, it is necessary to develop good eating habits, maintain a good attitude, maintain optimism, correctly handle the contradictions between family, life and work, maintain a good mood, and relieve stress. As soon as a thyroid enlargement and a series of compressive symptoms and pain are detected, it is necessary to go to a specialized hospital**. The damage caused by thyroid cysts is not only physical, but also psychological.

Therefore, family members or friends of people with thyroid cysts should give them understanding and encouragement so that they can face the disease with a good attitude.

This disease has different symptoms depending on the size of the cyst, if the cyst is less than 1 cm, there are no obvious symptoms, if it is large enough to a certain extent, the patient will have intracystic hemorrhage and compression symptoms.

Thyroid cysts are generally benign lesions, if they are small, they are generally asymptomatic, and if they are large, they can have corresponding symptoms, including difficulty breathing, hoarseness, neck pain, etc.

The symptom of this disease should be that the patient's neck will be swollen and there will be a certain amount of pain, and medication will be required**.

Thyroid cyst is a benign lesion that occurs in the thyroid gland and can be detected by thyroid ultrasonography, which shows hypoechoic or anechoic areas, mostly single nodules and rarely multiple nodules. If the patient has no obvious symptoms, ** is generally not needed.

If the patient's condition is severe and there are symptoms such as swollen neck, breath holding, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, etc., surgery** or thyroid puncture can be performed to drain the cyst fluid to relieve the symptoms.

Eat more kelp, iodine-containing foods, and get the thyroid sac with traditional Chinese medicine such as "Chen's Jiabaoling", goiter, which is what we generally call a big neck. This happens to a lot of people.

1.Infectious diseases, such as acute purulent thyroiditis caused by bacteria, viral thyroiditis, also known as subacute thyroiditis.

2.Autoimmune, such as toxic diffuse goiter and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

3.Avoid depression, anger, impatience, and sorrow, and keep a cheerful mood.

4.For strong patients, when the condition is stable and improving, they can be given a normal diet, and the diet after digestive surgery should be liquid, semi-liquid, soft food, general food, and gradual.

Radish and rue coriander contain thiourea, goiter-causing substances; Long-term consumption of soybean can also hinder the reabsorption of thyroid hormone in the intestine, which in turn causes a relative deficiency of thyroid hormone; Long-term consumption of peas and peanuts may also cause nail swelling. If you have a thyroid sac, you can use traditional Chinese medicine such as "Chen's Jiazhuling".

Thyroid cysts are mostly solitary nodules, occasionally multiple nodules, mostly between 2 and 5 cm in diameter. The lump is round, smooth on the surface and well-bounded, mostly painless or mildly painful, non-tender, and can move up and down with swallowing. When the intracapsule pressure is not high, the texture is soft, and there is a sac to the touch**; If there is a lot of fluid in the sac, it can also be tough to the touch when the pressure is high.

Patients with thyroid cysts do not experience any discomfort and often have a history of thyroid nodules when a mass in the anterior neck is inadvertently found. Diagnosis is difficult by palpation alone, and ultrasonography can accurately determine whether the mass is cystic or parenchymal, and can distinguish between thin-walled and thick-walled cysts. Ultrasonography may show a fluid dark area within the mass, which may be distinguished from a parenchymal nodule.

Radionuclide scintigraphy is mostly done"Cold nodules"。Thyroid function tests are usually in the normal range. Thyroid cysts are mostly benign.

Thyroid cancer with cysts is rare, about %-2%, and cytology of cyst fluid in cancerous cysts usually reveals cancer cells.

In the case of exclusion of malignant lesions, non-surgical** methods should be considered first. The reasons for this are: one.

Although thyroid cyst removal is not a major surgery, it has certain risks, especially after resection, it may cause hypothyroidism, and it is necessary to take medication for life, and there is also the possibility of multiple incisions; Two. According to your current condition (cyst), the general clinical symptoms are not obvious, you can follow up for observation, if you are not safe, you can do thyroid biopsy (do pathological examination), the diagnosis rate is quite high, the trauma is quite small, almost negligible. It should be said that the municipal tertiary hospital can confirm the diagnosis through examination.

In the case of excluding malignancy, it is very simple. Internal medicine can be used optionally**: oral can be tried thyroid tablets first**3 6 months, but there is ***, which will cause subclinical hyperthyroidism, and it can also be punctured and aspirated, and the cyst can be injected with hemostatic agent and sclerosing agent (anhydrous alcohol), the latter can be done in the outpatient clinic, the operation is simple, no hospitalization, no pain!

Either way, check it regularly!!

Hello, thyroid cysts are generally considered to be benign nodules, generally do not need special **, after three months to recheck thyroid ultrasound and thyroid function, if the growth is relatively fast, consider thyroid puncture cytology.

Hello, thyroid cysts** are generally mainly due to iodine deficiency, you need to pay attention to moderate supplementation, and at the same time, you also need to check thyroid function.

If the thyroid function is normal, it is generally not possible. Follow-up check-ups are required, and hiccups after eating may be related to gastrointestinal factors, not necessarily a problem with thyroid cysts.

Hello, a thyroid cyst is a cyst found in the thyroid gland that contains fluid. The lump is round, mostly between 2 and 5 cm in diameter, smooth, generally not painful or slightly painful, moving up and down with swallowing. Most are single nodules and less common than multiple nodules.

Thyroid cysts are a common type of thyroid disorder and are found during physical examination in most patients.

For example, thyroid ultrasound generally has no obvious clinical symptoms. Most of them are solitary nodules, and some patients have multiple nodules that move up and down with swallowing. When the intracapsular pressure is not high, the texture is softer, and if there is more fluid in the capsule, the texture will be harder.

If the cyst is very large, or if there is intracystic bleeding in a short period of time, it can cause symptoms of compression, causing pain, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, and hoarseness after compression of the nerves.

If it is combined with hyperthyroidism, symptoms such as emotional irritability, excessive food and weight loss, tremors in the hands, and proptosis.

Generally, if it is a benign lesion, regular color ultrasound follow-up observation can be given, and if the possibility of malignant lesion is not ruled out, timely surgical resection is required.

From the perspective of our ultrasound department, as you described above, in the absence of your thyroid ultrasound image, nodular goiter is considered and cystic degeneration is likely. If it affects your life, such as pain or obstruction of swallowing, it is recommended to go to the general thyroid department of the hospital.

It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to find out the situation, and if the problem is found, it will be carried out in time**.

1. It can cause swallowing, pain, difficulty breathing, and hoarseness.

2. Symptoms such as irritability, chest tightness, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, hand tremor, insomnia, hyperphagia, weight loss, fatigue, diarrhea, goiter and proptosis may occur.

3. One or both sides of the thyroid gland are swollen and hard, accompanied by local pain, and often radiate to the back of the ears and the top of the back of the head, and the whole body may have chills and fever, which is more common in middle-aged women.

4. Most of the thyroid gland is diffusely enlarged; Some may be nodular. Generally, it can be used to use popular Chinese medicines, such as Chen's Jiasangling.

Dr. Ma from the Thyroid Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Chongqing National Defense Hospital introduced suggestions: thyroid cyst (adenoma) thyroid mass is located on both sides of the laryngeal segment in a round or oval shape, with a smooth surface, clear boundary, tough texture or cyst**, and **no adhesions, no tenderness, and can move up and down with swallowing action. It usually occurs in young adult women between the ages of 20 and 40.

Chinese medicine calls it"Flesh gall"。The lumps are usually single or multiple, grow slowly, and are often asymptomatic. Sometimes the lump grows suddenly and is painful due to bleeding within the adenoma.

As the lump grows in size, you may feel breathless or squeezed, or even hoarseness and difficulty swallowing.

Thyroid cysts (adenomas) may cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as irritability, chest tightness and sweating, palpitations, and hand tremors. A small number of thyroid adenomas can become cancerous.

INVESTIGATIONS: radionuclide scan, showing that thyroid cysts are common"Cold nodules", adenomas"Warm nodules", with hyperthyroidism, it is more common"Thermal nodules"。"b"Ultrasonography may show cystic, cystic, mixed, or solid nodules.

with hyperthyroidism; recent rapid enlargement of the mass; Patients with a tendency to malignant transformation should undergo surgery**.

Zhai Zhangsuo, an authoritative expert in the thyroid department of the Beijing Municipal Corps Hospital of the 1st Armed Police Force, will answer for you, hoping to help you.

1. Simple goiter - it is a goiter with normal thyroid function, which is a compensatory goiter caused by iodine deficiency, goiter-causing substances or related enzyme defects;

2. Nodular goiter - most patients have a history of simple goiter, and in the late stage, multiple nodules are formed, with a high incidence, and nodular goiter is similar to simple goiter**;

3. Symptoms of goiter - common symptoms are goiter or neck lumps; Compression symptoms mainly include stridor, dyspnea, cough, poor or difficult swallowing, vocal cord paralysis, hoarseness, facial edema, and dilated superficial veins in the neck and upper chest.

4. Causes of goiter - iodine deficiency, enzyme deficiency, drugs, smoking, genetic factors and other diseases can cause goiter;

5. Can goiter be the best - Zhai Zhangsuo, an expert from the thyroid department of the Beijing Municipal Corps Hospital of the 1st Armed Police Force, pointed out that goiter cannot completely rely on iodine 131 and surgery, and it is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine TH magnetic medicine for immune balance.

The term thyroid cyst is actually not particularly accurate, it is not said in our professional books, but it can only be said that cystic mass, after the thyroid gland has a lump, some of this lump will become cystic, from solid to cystic.

Generally, it is a good thing to become cystic, and the nodules or masses that become cystic are basically not malignant, and most of them are benign. But there are also bad things, after it becomes cystic, it has intracystic hemorrhage, and suddenly there is a lot of blood in the sac, and the tumor suddenly becomes larger, and when it becomes larger, there will be symptoms of compression.

We met a patient a year ago, that is, there was actually nothing, and during the physical examination, it was found to be very small, and suddenly it became bigger, and he couldn't breathe, and then he went to sleep at night, pressing the trachea and holding his breath, which made us very nervous, and he was also very nervous. However, the impact of this on the patient is very large, and the malignant is not large to a certain extent in many cases, and the small one is asymptomatic, and this benign suddenly becomes larger, and the cystic thyroid mass has intracystic hemorrhage, which is considered an emergency of thyroid tumor.

Thyroid cyst is not a single disease, but a clinical manifestation of a variety of thyroid diseases. Most are caused by nodular goiter and thyroid adenomas. So, how do thyroid cysts form?

The following experts from the "Chengdu Air Force Hospital of the People's Liberation Army" will answer for you. The expansive growth of thyroid nodules and adenomas compresses the surrounding veins, causing local blood circulation disorders, tissue ischemia, degenerative necrosis, intrastitial congestion and edema, and fluid accumulation to form cysts. Compression of the surrounding arteries, resulting in tissue ischemia and necrosis, forms a necrotizing cyst.

Hemorrhagic cysts are formed when the perivascular tissue becomes degenerative and necrotic, and the blood vessel loses tissue support and ruptures. Some thyroid adenomas have large follicular cavities that can fuse with each other to form colloidal cysts. A small number of cysts with flat epithelial walls may be remnants of metaplasia thyroglossal ducts and posterior parotid bodies.

Rarely, it is caused by hemorrhagic necrosis of thyroid cancer. General factors for the onset of thyroid cysts: 1. Drinking deep well water (containing too much sulfur hydrocarbon, calcium, fluoride), and the water source is contaminated by bacteria.

2. Increased iodine requirements (cold, infection, growth and development, lactation, poisoning, mood and other factors). 3. Lack or excess of iodine in water and soil in endemic areas. 4. Goiter-causing mass.
