thyroid nodules patients often find the word "calcification" during ultrasound examinations. Most patients do not understand this. What is calcification?
In fact, thyroid nodules calcification refers to calcium deposition in the nodule due to various reasons. When the sound impedance of the reflection interface is large, it will appear as strong echoes of various different forms on the B-ultrasound image, accompanied by or without sound shadows at the back.
Specifically, thyroid calcification refers to the phenomenon of calcium deposition in thyroid nodules.
So, is calcification of thyroid nodules harmful?
The harm of calcification of thyroid nodules
Thyroid nodules are a common disease in clinical practice, and once thyroid nodules calcification occurs, patients must pay attention to it.
Because the harm of calcification of thyroid nodules is very great, patients will experience various discomfort symptoms after the attack, and it is very likely that they have cancer. Therefore, patients should pay attention to it and treat this situation as soon as possible after discovering it.
First of all, patients will experience symptoms such as fever and sore throat in normal life.
Sometimes it also shows that thyroid becomes swollen and has a hard texture. In clinical practice, the size of thyroid nodules in each patient is different. When thyroid nodules are calcified, it often means that the situation is already serious.
In addition, this disease of thyroid nodules will also cause certain harm to the patient's fertility and sexual function. is manifested as low sexual desire and infertility during sexual life.
Male patients may also cause sexual dysfunction, loss of libido, and even cause infertility and other hazards after the onset of the disease.
Not only that, thyroid nodules will also affect the patient's motor system, causing the patient to experience symptoms of weakness and fatigue. This condition may also cause a series of complications.
Of course, the most serious thing is that thyroid nodules may develop after calcification.
So, this disease is quite serious. If it is discovered, it must be treated in time.
What are the factors that cause thyroid nodules?
There are many types of thyroid diseases in clinical practice, such as degenerative thyroid lesions, inflammation, autoimmunity, and new organisms, which can all be manifested as nodules .
thyroid nodules can be single or multiple. The incidence of multiple nodules is higher than that of single nodules, but the incidence of single nodules thyroid cancer is higher.
study found that the main causes of thyroid nodules are the following four categories.
. Radioactive contact: The history of radiation contact is an important pathogenic factor of thyroid cancer. Individuals who receive irradiation doses of 10 to 1000 tad in childhood, the incidence of thyroid cancer is relatively high.
. Autoimmunity: Patients with autoimmune thyroiditis are also prone to thyroid nodules.
. Genetic predisposition: familial medullary cancer has a typical genetic predisposition, while about 7% of papillary thyroid cancer patients may have a familial genetic predisposition.
Of course, other than that, there is currently no evidence that other thyroid cancers are hereditary.
. Excessive iodine intake: Severe iodine deficiency can cause endemic goiter, but excessive iodine intake can also cause a variety of thyroid diseases, such as abnormal thyroid function and thyroid nodules.
