The incidence of thyroid nodules is more common in young women, mostly multiple nodules. General thyroid nodules can be divided into single nodules and multiple nodules.
Thyroid nodule is a common thyroid disease. Nodules on the thyroid gland may be caused by thyroid cancer, thyroid tumor, nodular goiter and so on. Until their nature is clarified, they are collectively called thyroid nodules.
Most thyroid nodules are benign, and only thyroid cancer is a malignant disease. However, 50% of childhood nodules are malignant, and they occur in young men. We should also be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors. If the new nodule or the original nodule increases rapidly in a short time, malignant lesions should be suspected. Suspected malignant diseases at high speed should be treated as soon as possible.
The clinical manifestation is goiter, many nodules of different sizes can be seen, and the texture of nodules is mostly medium hardness. There are not many clinical symptoms, only discomfort in the anterior cervical region. Thyroid function is mostly normal. However, some patients will have secondary hyperfunction or canceration.
The above is the concrete manifestation of the harm of thyroid nodules. The harm of thyroid nodules is more common in patients with symptoms such as irritability, weakness and loss of appetite. Patients must pay more attention and treat in time.
