Every year, medical checkups always reveal some minor problems
Many people are anxious about this
In fact, there are some scary terms on the checklist
Quite a few of them don't need to be cured
Do you have to be cured? That's fine!
But it's really not necessary
Thyroid nodules
95% are benign
Thyroid nodules are a common sight on medical reports. Many people are very nervous when they find out that they have a thyroid nodule, and they think that they need to treat it right away, and they are very worried that it will turn into thyroid cancer!
In fact, a thyroid nodule that is less than 1 centimeter in size is nothing to worry about and does not require further examination. 95% of thyroid nodules are benign and will not turn into thyroid cancer.
According to Li Zhihui, Director of Thyroid Surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, even if it is thyroid cancer, most of them are also very "gentle", very slow-growing, can be a few years, ten years of latent
The first time I saw a thyroid cancer in my body, it was in my hands. In the human body , but also relatively stable, "obedient". Even some patients in the low-risk group can be observed for a long time without surgery.
Celiac disease
It's just the name that's scary
It's the medical term that's to blame. The word "celiac disease" conjures up bad feelings and is easily associated with cervical cancer. In fact, it's just a nomenclature blunder in the history of medicine.
Today, the name "celiac disease" has been officially canceled and replaced by "cervical columnar epithelial ectasia".
According to the Health Management Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Li Qiao introduced - "cervical erosion" is a normal physiological phenomenon, need to be combined with the results of the cervical cytology to further determine the If the cytology and HPV test results are not abnormal, there is no need to specialize in the cervical erosion, and the cervical erosion can be avoided.
Breast enlargement
Normal physiological phenomenon
A medical checkup, 8 out of 10 women have breast enlargement. "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. "What kind of medicine can I take to cure the hyperplasia?" Many times the answer to these questions is: No treatment!
According to Dr. Jie Chen of the Breast Surgery Department at West China Hospital of Sichuan University - Breast hyperplasia does not increase the incidence of breast cancer, nor does it lead to breast cancer. Breast hyperplasia is often manifested as a feeling of swelling and pain in the breasts before menstruation or when the mood is not good, and lumps appear, but the swelling and pain will gradually disappear after the physiological period. As long as every day to maintain a good state of mind, eat less high hormone-containing food, adhere to the appropriate amount of exercise can effectively alleviate breast enlargement.
Uterine fibroids
5cm or less is usually fine
According to statistics, about 20% of women over the age of 30 have uterine fibroids, which means that every fifth woman has one. However, this "tumor" is not a "tumor", most of the tumors of uterine fibroids are benign.
According to Wang Wei, chief gynecologist at Chengdu Women's and Children's Hospital, if you are near menopause, the fibroid is small and asymptomatic, and you are already pregnant and the fibroid has not undergone red degeneration, you can observe and wait for it, and then review it once every 3-6 months. However, when a patient with uterine fibroids is preparing for pregnancy,if the fibroid is ≥4 cm in diameter, it is best to have it surgically removed in a timely manner.
Pelvic fluid
3 cm or less without treatment
According to Zhang Yi, director of the gynecology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, almost every woman has a different degree of pelvic fluid, the average woman is under 3 cm. -- Less than 3 centimeters can be considered a normal range and does not require treatment if there are no other uncomfortable symptoms. If you are ovulating, menstruating, or just after your period, you may experience a slight increase in fluid, but if you don't have any other abnormalities, you don't need to make a big deal out of it if it's slightly more than 3cm.
Calcified foci of the liver
No treatment is needed
Calcified foci of the liver are detected at a high rate in patients with liver disease, which may be related to congenital development, disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and other factors, and may be caused by the fibrosis of tissues in the process of healing of liver trauma and the formation of scarring, and the deposition of calcium salts. The result of this is that the liver can be damaged.
According to Dr. Liu Chang of the Department of Liver Surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, hepatic calcification foci will not subside on their own, and seldom continue to develop, and are generally asymptomatic, and do not have a significant adverse effect on the body, so there is no need for treatment.
But some calcification foci are close to the intrahepatic bile ducts, which can be easily confused with intrahepatic bile duct stones on ultrasound, and need to be further identified by CT or MRCP.
Bone spurs
Bone spurs are the body's self-protection
In fact, the name "bone spurs" is a complete lie. Bone spurs are bone growths,a self-protective reaction of the body.
Bone spurs can be found in a variety of places, such as the cervical spine, lumbar spine, knee joints, and so on.
If the bone spurs are only found during a physical examination, and there is no discomfort in your life, no pain, no discomfort, there is no need to be nervous. But if the bone spurs, caused by osteoarthritis, then you need further treatment.
Premature heartbeat
No symptoms
The heart beats normally, but if you have a few beats ahead of time, it's like you're playing a dance song. This is called "premature heartbeat".
Many people think that a premature heartbeat is often associated with heart disease, but in fact, premature heartbeats are not a disease in themselves, but a symptom of other heart problems.
According to the Second People's Hospital of Chengdu City, cardiovascular physician Liu Jianxiong introduced - premature beating is generally benign, most of the premature beating will not cause heart disease, occasional panic or heart "thumping", not too nervous. Do not be too nervous. But if you often have similar discomfort, or as soon as possible to go to the hospital cardiology consult a doctor better.
Chronic superficial gastritis
It's indigestion
According to the survey, the detection rate of chronic superficial gastritis is 80%-90%. In the hospital, as long as you undergo a gastroscopy, almost invariably will get so the lightest level of diagnosis: chronic superficial gastritis.
Bai Yang, deputy chief physician of the gastroenterology department of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, introduced -
In fact, many of the gastroscopy report of chronic superficial gastritis, just functional dyspepsia or non-ulcerative dyspepsia, and is not the gastric mucosa really have a chronic inflammation, do not need to be treated at all.
If you have fullness and indigestion after a meal, take some polypeptide tablets, a variety of probiotics can be relieved, and do not need to worry.
If you have a medical checkup for any of these diseases
most of them don't need to be dealt with

the specifics are still different from one person to the next
