What should I pay attention to when I find thyroid nodules in physical examination? What is the impact on health?

When thyroid nodules are found in physical examination, we should pay attention to eating habits and keep healthy. Here are some things to pay attention to:

Increase the intake of vegetables and fruits: Eating more vegetables and fruits, especially leafy vegetables and citrus fruits, helps to supplement the vitamins and minerals needed by the human body, and at the same time helps to regulate the human immune system and reduce the risk of thyroid nodules.

Reduce the intake of greasy and fried foods: the intake of high-fat foods such as fried and fried foods should be reduced in the diet to reduce the risk of thyroid nodules.

Control iodine intake: iodine is an important component of thyroid hormone synthesis, but excessive iodine intake or iodine deficiency may lead to thyroid nodules. Therefore, it is necessary to control the intake of iodine and avoid taking too much or too little.

Avoid spicy food: spicy food will stimulate the thyroid gland and may lead to the growth of nodules. So avoid eating spicy food.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle: In addition to diet adjustment, we should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise, keeping enough sleep, avoiding smoking and drinking.

Thyroid nodules may have a certain impact on health. If the thyroid nodule is small, it will usually not have much impact on health, but if the nodule is large or malignant, it may oppress the surrounding tissues, affect thyroid function and lead to complications. Therefore, after finding thyroid nodules, it is necessary to carry out thyroid ultrasound and thyroid function examination regularly in order to find and treat the problems in time. At the same time, we should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and living habits to keep healthy.
