What happens when a person has thyroid cancer?

People with thyroid cancer often have ** neck lumps, and the lumps are very hard, hoarse, dysphagia, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and may be accompanied by flushing, tachycardia and intractable diarrhea.

Early symptoms include neck enlargement, local tumors, and uneven, fixed and hard tumors on the surface of the tumor. When the tumor enlarges, some patients may have chest tightness, breathlessness, and cough; Compression of the vocal cords can cause hoarseness.

Irregular lumps will appear in the early stage, which are generally not easy to find, laryngeal edema will occur in the later stage, and severe cases will have dyspnea, hoarseness, hemoptysis, miosis, etc., and should seek medical attention immediately**.

Will have difficulty swallowing food. People with this condition usually squeeze their esophagus and have a hard time swallowing food.

The thyroid gland is a very important organ, and once a thyroid malignant tumor is formed, it poses a threat to the health of the body. Thyroid malignancy can be caused by many unfavorable factors, such as incorrect diet, persistent radiation damage, endocrine disorders, etc., and many signals will be produced after the formation of thyroid malignancy.

What happens when thyroid cancer develops?

Many people will feel discomfort in the throat, which is a common sign of disease, due to the local development of malignant tumors can cause compression, after the appearance of recurrent laryngeal nerve compression vocal cord paralysis, the main characteristic of many patients is hoarseness, at this time will feel discomfort in the throat.

If this happens, it needs to be distinguished from other diseases. Do not confuse them, otherwise the signs of the disease will be ignored. After being confused with other common diseases, the wrong ** can continue to develop, threatening health.

Under normal circumstances, the process of swallowing food is usually very smooth, and many people appear in the process of swallowing dysphagia, which is characterized by a long time and cannot be ignored, because the signal of dysphagia may be a serious disease, such as common esophageal cancer, thyroid cancer, the process of this disease The size of the local tumor gradually increases, and the compressive effect after swallowing becomes difficult.

Therefore, this characteristic should not be taken too seriously, in the case of unknown causes, it is best to go to the hospital, by diagnosing the nature and type of local cancer, so that reasonable measures can be taken to treat the symptoms**, otherwise thyroid cancer will continue to develop, and the phenomenon of dysphagia will be more serious.

It is a manifestation of increased volume of local malignancy. Many people have goiter but ignore it, thinking it is caused by common thyroiditis or thyroid nodules. In fact, these types of thyroid diseases can also have this feature, but the cause needs to be determined.

If it is caused by localized cancer, it often brings serious physical harm and may affect health without timely control of the disease. Therefore, the manifestations of goiter cannot be ignored, and we should first check what the causes of these conditions are, so that they can be dealt with and restored in time.

First, an enlarged or nodule of the goiter. There may be no obvious symptoms at first, and sometimes it can be seen with swollen lymph nodes in the neck, but as the disease progresses, the lump gradually grows in size and becomes hard and can move up and down as you swallow.

Second, difficulty swallowing and breathing. If the tumor continues to grow and compress the trachea, causing the trachea to displace, the patient may have varying degrees of breathing disorders, and the tumor compresses the esophagus, and the patient will have difficulty swallowing.

Third, pain. When the superficial branch of the cervical plexus is violated, pain may occur in the ears, shoulders, etc.

The neck will be very thick, the metabolism will be very slow, it will be difficult to breathe, it will be difficult to swallow when eating, there will be asthma reactions, the voice will be very hoarse, the body's resistance will be very weak, and it will be particularly easy to catch a cold.

After suffering from thyroid cancer, there is generally no obvious manifestation in the early stage, and it is often a ** lump or nodule to the doctor, of course, a lump or nodule in the neck.

As thyroid cancer grows further, it may cause hoarseness, neck and throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Patients may also have tachycardia, facial flushing, intractable diarrhea and other manifestations, and when thyroid cancer metastasizes, headache, vision loss, chest pain, abdominal pain, jaundice, bone pain and other manifestations.

There are many factors that cause thyroid cancer, and the clinical symptoms of early thyroid cancer are not obvious and are easy to be ignored.

Difficulty swallowing, a feeling of pressure in the throat

The malignant tumor continues to grow and compresses the larynx, and the irregular bulge of the larynx can be felt when swallowing, and swallowing is difficult.

Hoarseness with swollen lymph nodes

The vocal cords are damaged by the tumor, causing hoarseness, and the cancer cells can invade the surrounding lymph, causing swollen lymph nodes and pain.

There is an irregular lump on the neck

In the early stage of thyroid cancer, because the tumor is not large, it cannot be seen without careful observation, but if you touch and press it with your hands, you can feel a hard and irregular lump, and then the tumor will continue to grow, and the appearance can be clearly seen.

Radiating pain in the neck

As the tumor continues to grow, there will be radiating pain in the neck, because the tumor will increase the pressure on the peripheral nerve tissue, and some parts of the shoulder, back, ears, etc. will be painful.

Avoid estrogen.

Estrogen has a promoting effect on thyroid cancer, and some women will use estrogen because of insufficient estrogen secretion in the body, which should be used under the guidance of a doctor and should not be abused without authorization.

Keep away from electrical radiation

There will be a certain amount of ionizing radiation in many imaging examinations, or some workers who are engaged in ionizing radiation, should pay attention to protection.

Eat foods that are high in iodine

Proper iodine can help prevent thyroid cancer, you can eat some foods rich in iodine such as kelp and seaweed, but in moderation.
