    Thyroiditis is still relatively common in our lives, and many people will also find out that they have thyroid diseases during the physical examination. However, thyroiditis may be less mentioned and less understood by the general public than other diseases.

    As with all diseases, the less you know, the later it will be detected. Often, because people are not familiar with it, they neglect the symptoms of the symptoms, misdiagnose or miss the diagnosis, and delay the disease.

    What are the symptoms of thyroiditis?

    1. Acute thyroiditis: This is an acute purulent infection of the thyroid gland, and the cause of the disease is bacterial or fungal infection. Both of these circulate through the bloodstream and in the lymphatic tract or adjacent to purulent lesions, resulting in acute purulent inflammation of the thyroid gland.

    The spread of adjacent purulent lesions is also one of the causes of secondary infection.

    People suffering from acute thyroiditis have an acute onset and are accompanied by symptoms such as high fever and sweating. In addition, there is a local mass in the thyroid area, ** red and hot, and the pain is obvious when touched. However, this type of case is now relatively rare.

    2. Subacute thyroiditis: The typical symptom is severe pain in the thyroid gland, and the pain begins on one side of the thyroid gland and then spreads to other parts of the gland, such as the root of the ear and jaw. In addition to pain, there will be general malaise, weakness, and muscle pain.

    It is also possible to have a fever, which progresses to a peak within 3-4 days.

    **Caused by viral infection, some patients have a slow onset and may exceed 1-2 weeks, while disease fluctuations can last for 3-6 weeks. After recovery, it may be several times within a few months**, and the thyroid gland will increase in size to 2-3 times or even larger than normal, and within a week of illness, tenderness will be evident on contact.

    Because the thyroid gland releases too much thyroid hormone during acute thyroid development, about half of the patients will have symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as heat intolerance, palpitation, excitement, trembling, etc. When the condition is weakened, a small number of patients will have hypothyroidism such as chills, constipation, drowsiness, swelling, and menstrual irregularities.

    3. Chronic thyroiditis: the onset is slow, and the thyroid function is still normal in the early stage of the disease, so there is no obvious feeling. A small percentage of patients will have hyperthyroidism in the early stage, but the duration is short, and most patients will have symptoms of hypothyroidism.

    At the onset of the disease, the thyroid gland is often enlarged and there is a feeling of pressure.

    Generally speaking, patients should be active in thyroiditis, and patients should also pay attention to a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat a proper diet, and use more foods high in iodine. In addition, care should be taken not to overly fatigue and maintain a good mood, as thyroid disease can also be caused by poor mood, so it is also important to maintain a good mood.

    Excessive thyroid hormone can cause a series of clinical manifestations, such as heat intolerance, excessive sweating, hyperphagia, weight loss, palpitation, emotional tension and irritability. Most patients with hyperthyroidism have goiter, which can range from mild to severe, and very few patients with hyperthyroidism do not have an enlarged thyroid gland. Many patients with hyperthyroidism also have proptosis, which can range from mild to severe.

    Environmental pollution: In addition to iodine deficiency and excess, epidemiological investigations have found that wastewater and waste from industrial production can also cause goiter when they contaminate drinking water sources. 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.

Hello, according to your description, you said that iodine deficiency can cause goiter, mainly due to the fact that iodine is an important raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and long-term iodine deficiency in the diet reduces thyroid hormone synthesis. The level of thyroid hormone in the blood decreases, and the negative feedback effect on the adenohypophysis is weakened, resulting in an increase in the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the adenohypophysis.
