Thyroid testing requires hospitalization, how do I do thyroid self testing?

Thyroid nodule puncture examination is very simple, simple and time-consuming, and can be performed in an outpatient operating room without the need for hospitalization. However, it still needs to be based on the specific situation of the patient, because thyroid puncture examination is generally a test method that is suspected of the malignancy of thyroid nodules.

If the thyroid nodule is malignant on pathological examination after puncture, further surgery** is required, and surgery** requires hospitalization. Therefore, this situation needs to be comprehensively judged, if it is only a physical examination, simply do thyroid nodule puncture examination, this outpatient treatment is sufficient, and no hospitalization is required.

Hello. Thyroid aspiration uses a thin-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland in which the doctor will take a small amount of thyroid biopsy for pathological biopsy. During the whole puncture process, the examinee did not have much pain, and the wound was relatively small, so it was generally possible to go with the treatment without affecting work and study.

Every year, almost everyone goes to the hospital for a comprehensive health check-up. Thyroid tests are indispensable. The incidence of thyroid disease remains high in the urban population, and regular physical examination is inseparable from early detection and early detection of the disease.

If an ultrasound reveals a lump or nodule in the thyroid gland, doctors usually recommend a thyroid aspirate. When it comes to paracentesis, you may think that it is invasive, so does a thyroid puncture require hospitalization? Now we will explain this problem in detail, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Do I need to be hospitalized for thyroid puncture? Thyroid puncture is of great clinical significance for the diagnosis of nodular thyroid disease and thyroid malignancy, and its accuracy can be as high as more than 90%. For thyroid lesions that cannot be seen clearly by Doppler color ultrasound, they can be seen very clearly by thyroid puncture.

Although thyrocentesis is an invasive test, it does not cause much damage to the patient and generally does not require hospitalization.

Thyroid aspiration is a thyroid aspiration biopsy, in which the doctor will directly puncture the thyroid gland with a fine needle, and then extract a small amount of thyroid biopsy and send it to the pathology department for microscopic examination. During the whole process, a small amount of anesthetic will be injected into the subject, and the subject will not feel too much pain, and the trauma will be relatively small, and it will return to normal in a few days. Thyroid puncture is done in major hospitals, and the examinees are treated and walked, without delaying work and study.

Based on the above, do I need to be hospitalized for thyrocentesis? We've covered this issue in detail. Thyroid aspiration uses a thin-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland in which the doctor will take a small amount of thyroid biopsy for pathological biopsy.

During the whole puncture process, the examinee did not have much pain, and the wound was relatively small, so it was generally possible to go with the treatment without affecting work and study.

In general, patients with thyroid nodules need to be hospitalized if they have a puncture. Moreover, it should be clear that the location, size and number of thyroid nodules must be accurately located before the puncture, so that the ideal puncture effect can be achieved, and the tissue after puncture must be immediately sent for pathological examination, so that the diagnosis can be clear; Moreover, after puncture, it is necessary to compress the patient's puncture point to stop bleeding, pay attention to monitor the patient's vital signs, and pay attention to observe whether the patient's thyroid gland has bleeding.

In addition, it should be clear that the patient needs to wait patiently for the pathological examination results of the puncture, and if the patient's puncture pathological examination results show malignancy, the patient also needs to undergo thyroid cancer** surgery, which is beneficial to the patient's health.

1.Feel for lymph nodes around the lump.

If a hard lymph node can be felt on the neck on the same side of the thyroid mass, lymph node metastasis may have occurred, and you should pay close attention to it and seek medical attention quickly.

2.Feel the smoothness and firmness of the lump.

If the masses are smooth and uniform, or multiple, they may be adenoma or nodular goiter; However, it is not smooth, the border is not clear, the texture is hard and it is single, and it should be suspected as cancer.

3.Look at the shape of the lump.

If it is enlarged in a butterfly shape, it is symmetrically and uniformly enlarged, which is common in patients with thyroiditis and some hyperthyroidism (eg, accompanied by palpitation, excessive sweating, weight loss; or weakness, sensitivity to cold, and swelling of the body, which is more like abnormal changes in thyroid function); The other type is a round lump that appears in a certain part of the thyroid gland, which is more common in thyroid cysts, thyroid adenomas, nodular goiters, and also thyroid cancer.

4.Identify the growth rate of the lump.

In general, benign tumors grow slowly, malignant tumors grow rapidly, but thyroid cancer (except for the worst undifferentiated cancer) is generally slower than liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. Benign tumors and cysts can grow over a period of months to years, or even decades. If the swelling suddenly increases significantly within a few days or a month, it may be that the adenoma has become hematized.

Thyroid cancer is suspected if the mass progressively increases in size and is accompanied by other associated features.

Hello, for thyroid problems, you can go to the hospital to do a thyroid 7-item functional test, that is, to draw blood and check whether the indicators of thyroid T3T4TSH are beyond the normal range. For more details, you can also do a color ultrasound or thyroid puncture.

Thyroid disease is a relatively common endocrine disease in life, but different thyroid diseases have different degrees of harm, and it will also have a great impact on the body if it is not timely.

I still have to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.

How to self-test for thyroid disease?

Some people have thyroid nodules that can be palpated by hand or have raised abnormal tissue in the neck. Thyroid nodules are detected by palpation with a detection rate of 4% to 7% and are an important examination tool.

During the test, the doctor asks the person to swallow and uses his or her hands to feel whether the lump is moving with the thyroid gland. Normally, thyroid nodules move with the thyroid gland with the action of swallowing.

Thyroid ultrasonography can not only determine the location, number, size, cystic or solid nature of the nodules, whether the nodule margins are clear, whether there are vascular plaques and microcalcifications in the nodules, etc., but also assist in the diagnosis of thyroid malignant tumors, such as hypoechoic, vascular, microcalcification, irregular morphology, and lymphadenopathy. Currently, high-resolution ultrasound is the test of choice for thyroid nodules.

Hello, thyroid nodules are a common thyroid disease, many thyroid diseases can manifest as nodules, such as can be caused by a variety of diseases such as thyroid progression, inflammation, autoimmunity and new organisms. Thyroid nodules are seen in men and women of all ages, but are more common in middle-aged women. Thyroid nodules can be single or multiple, with multiple nodules having a higher incidence than single nodules, and single nodules having a higher incidence of thyroid cancer compared to multiple nodules.

Therefore, we must not take thyroid nodules lightly and must take them in time.

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can manifest at both extremes. For example, emotionally, hypothyroidism is manifested as depression, and hyperthyroidism is extremely excited, turning into anxiety and mania. On the digestive system, patients with hyperthyroidism have accelerated intestinal peristalsis and can poop several times a day; Hypothyroidism causes constipation.

It is precisely because of the imbalance in metabolic levels and energy expenditure that hypothyroidism patients will become edematous and fat, while patients with hyperthyroidism will have an increased appetite and gradually lose weight.

There is also a problem caused by metabolism, hypothyroidism is slow to metabolize, making people drowsy and listless every day. Hyperthyroidism can easily lead to insomnia. However, both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can have problems concentrating, and hypothyroidism patients are more sluggish and even have memory loss.

The thyroid gland is located at the base of our neck, and both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause thyroid enlargement, and in severe cases, voice changes and difficulty swallowing may occur.

Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease, and the examination of hyperthyroidism should include: three thyroid functions FT3, FT4, TSH, thyroid microsomal antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies, and thyroid color ultrasound examination, thyroid ECT examination and iodine 131 iodine absorption rate examination may be required according to the situation. What needs to be checked and which items need to be visited in the hospital depends on the individual's situation.

For patients with thyroid nodules, the main types of tests they need to undergo are as follows:1Serology:

Thyroid dysfunction does not exclude thyroid cancer but suggests that it may be small, and the presence of hyperthyroidism or low TSH suggests autonomic functional thyroid adenoma, nodules, or toxic multinodular goiter. 2.Nuclide scan:

Scans are of little significance in differentiating benign and malignant lesions. 3.Ultrasound diagnosis:

Ultrasound is reliable in diagnosing cystic lesions. It is of little value in distinguishing between benign and malignant. However, it is of great significance in judging the size of the nodule, identifying the location of the nodule, and guiding the positioning and puncture.

4.Other nuclear tests: positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to check for nodular thyroid lesions and distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, and proton magnetic resonance imaging appears to distinguish between normal glandular and cancerous tissues.

Patients with thyroid nodules, 1thyroid ultrasound; 2. Cytology of acupuncture smear to determine the nature of the nodule.

Go to the hospital to test the serum, do a color ultrasound examination, there are several serum tests, just let the doctor let you test a few items, how to check the doctor.

I recommend that you go to the hospital for a serological test and color ultrasound, and then follow the doctor's instructions.

Are you trying to say that there is brain atrophy on brain CT scan? If it is brain atrophy, it depends on how old your mother is. The main cause of cerebral atrophy is long-term chronic ischemia of cerebral blood vessels, which leads to a decrease in the deformation ability of red blood cells, insufficient effective blood perfusion of microvessels, and brain tissue is in a state of chronic ischemia and hypoxia, which affects the morphology and function of brain cells.
