What is the significance of bilateral and unilateral thyroid enlargement

Pathological goiter is common in the following ways:

1.Simple goiter is caused by iodine deficiency, and the thyroid gland is symmetrically enlarged, soft, mostly diffuse, or nodular, and often not accompanied by hyperthyroidism.

2.Hyperthyroidism The thyroid gland may be asymmetrically or asymmetrically enlarged and often soft. Due to increased vascularity, thickening, and increased blood flow, a continuous bruit may be heard and a tremor may be palpable.

3.Thyroid tumors Thyroid cancers are often asymmetrically enlarged, with uneven surfaces, nodular textures, hard and fixed textures, and adhesions with surrounding tissues affect the recurrent laryngeal nerve and cervical sympathetic nerve, which can cause hoarseness. Thyroid adenomas are round or oval enlarged, usually single or multiple, tough in texture, and nontender.

4.Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is mostly symmetrical, diffuse enlargement, or nodular enlargement, with clear borders without adhesions around it, smooth surface, and tough and elastic texture. When the enlarged gland compresses the common carotid artery backward, the common carotid artery pulse can be palpated at the posterior edge of the gland, while thyroid cancer often encircles the common carotid artery in the cancer tissue, and the posterior edge of the gland cannot palpate the common carotid artery pulse, which helps to distinguish between the two.

Hello, goiter can be divided into three degrees: those who cannot see the enlargement but can be palpable; Enlargement can be seen and palpable, but within the sternocleidomastoid muscle; Degrees beyond the outer edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Goiter enlargement is very complex, the nature of the mass is different, the swelling can also be caused by different diseases, and the manifestations of the same disease are also mild and severe.

A simple enlargement of the thyroid gland on one side does not have to cause tension. It is recommended to complete thyroid ultrasound to see if there are nodules in the thyroid gland and how the blood flow is distributed. In checking thyroid function, if thyroid function is normal, there is no abnormality in thyroid ultrasound, in this case, pay attention to rest, dynamic observation can be.

Thyroid ultrasonography and thyroid function can be repeated after six months.

Treat patients better, I feel that this place should be considered very good, and I am super attentive to every patient.

Hello, it is recommended to go for a thyroid ultrasound examination. Also check thyroid function. Goiter can be caused by simple goiter or hyperthyroidism. Of course, there is also swelling caused by tumors.

Hello, there are many reasons for goiter, such as endocrine disorders, thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism can lead to goiter, or it may be simple thyroid nodules, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, it is best to go to the hospital for ultrasound, and at the same time test thyroid function five clear**.

It should be an enlarged thyroid gland. It's best to do a color ultrasound and have it seen by the doctor. It's good not to have hyperthyroidism, but it's more troublesome to have it.

A relative of mine is a doctor, and I heard him say that the probability of this disease turning from goiter to thyroid cancer is 25% after 20 years in the body.

Generally, young people will not have thyroid cancer.

Recommendation: Surgical excision.

Cost: The county hospital is generally 5,000 yuan.

Large hospitals: 8,000-12,000 yuan. (It is better to have medical insurance, which can be reimbursed at least half, or even 70%).

Goiter: Depending on how the doctor cut it, the swollen part must be cut off, and I don't know if the thyroid gland is going to be cut off. Ask your doctor about this.

Thyroid cancer: The thyroid gland will be cut off, and if you don't have the thyroid gland, you need to take Youjiale - it seems to be 35 yuan a box, 100 tablets box. Take once a day for life.

It is likely to be a thyroid cyst, which may be caused by bleeding, internal bleeding, you can go to Chinese medicine first**, if not, surgical removal, no***.

Enlargement of the thyroid gland is very numerous, and further examination is required to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a laboratory test of thyroid function, thyroglobulin antibodies, and thyroid color ultrasound to determine whether it is hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or inflammation of the thyroid gland, and then determine the best plan.

It is still recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, after all, it is better to detect it early and see it early, like here, there are more studies for this condition to see.

There are no checks, I can't tell. Nodular goiter is more likely. Suggestion: color ultrasound + thyroid function, let's talk about it.

1. Birth defects: due to the lack or insufficient activity of some special enzymes in some fetal bodies, thyroid hormones cannot be synthesized or the amount of synthesis is small, which is the main reason for fetal goiter.

2. Iodine deficiency: iodine deficiency is the main cause of endemic goiter, when iodine deficiency, thyroid cells can not synthesize enough thyroid hormones, the concentration of thyroid hormone in the blood decreases, the inhibitory effect of thyroid hormone on pituitary secretion (TSH) is weakened, the secretion of pituitary TSH increases, and the level of TSH in the blood increases, causing thyroid hypertrophy.

3. Iodine overdose: If excessive iodine intake leads to hyperthyroidism, then patients also have goiter.

An enlarged thyroid gland on the left side is estimated to be a thyroid cyst based on your condition. It is recommended to see a general surgeon, remove the thyroid abscess as soon as possible to avoid cancer, in short, the problem is not big now, if you do not operate, the problem will not be small in the future, and after a long time, the malignant mass will increase so that there are compression symptoms, or if you suspect malignant transformation, it is recommended that you actively undergo surgery**. Internal medicine** is basically ineffective.

The thyroid gland is the normal, endosecretory organ of thyroxine in our body. As for thyroid diseases, further tests are needed, including thyroid gland palpation, thyroid vascular bruit auscultation, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid nuclide scan, etc. If thyroid hypersonography has an existing envelope, it is necessary to determine whether to continue thyroid puncture according to the size of the nodule and the relationship with the surrounding tissues.

It's an enlarged goiter, go to the doctor!

According to the ultrasound examination, the nodule is rich in blood flow signals, and surgery is recommended. I see the Oncologist-Thyroid Specialist Clinic all day every Thursday, and you can contact me after the Chinese New Year.

Dr. Wu Fusheng solemnly reminded that because the patient cannot be seen face-to-face and cannot fully understand the condition, the above suggestions are only buried in the macro cover for reference, and the specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of the doctor! ）

Wu Fusheng, Zhejiang First Hospital.

Since TGAB and TMAB are autoimmune antibodies, they are specific antibodies to the thyroid gland, mainly targeting thyroid tissue cells, which will cause a certain degree of damage to thyroid tissue cells, so in the future development process, the follicular cells that produce thyroxine will be destroyed, resulting in the formation of "hypothyroidism" - hypothyroidism in the patient.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis** is currently unclear, but it is generally accepted that it is caused by abnormal immune function.

Now the thyroid function is normal, that is: FT3, FT4, TSH is normal, there is no need for any **, regular re-examination of thyroid function can be, once TSH rises by more than 10 or FT4 decreases, begin oral thyroxine supplementation drug replacement**.

There may be thyroid inflammation.
