Introduction: thyroid is the endocrine gland located in the neck. It maintains the balance of nutrients such as calcium, protein , and can also regulate the body's sensitivity to other hormones, which is of great significance to human health. The thyroid carries so many functions. Under high-intensity work, diseases will inevitably come to you. , for example, , thyroid nodules, , is one of the most common ones.
thyroid nodules are lumps that occur in the thyroid gland. Their shape can be single or multiple, among which single-nodules may be more malignant.
But you don’t have to worry too much. In clinical practice, about 90% of nodules are all benign. However, it still needs to be actively treated. The following three symptoms indicate that the thyroid nodules have come to you:
Symptoms of thyroid nodules
Swelling of the neck
If you usually find that your neck is inexplicably swollen , and has large and small particles to the touch , you should be alert. It is very likely that there is a problem with the thyroid. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.
Breathing is blocked
The reason why breathing is blocked is because when the lump of the thyroid nodule develops to a certain extent, it will compress our trachea and throat. causes breathing to be blocked, dysphagia , which in severe cases will lead to suffocation and death, which is extremely harmful.
Body weight loss
Body weight loss is one of the very obvious characteristics of thyroid nodule disease. If you usually find that your weight is at the same level, and for a period of time, you need to pay attention, it is very likely that there is a problem with the thyroid gland.
Because the thyroid nodules are constantly enlarging, the cancer cells continue to spread and increase, and lacks nutrients in the body, causing weight loss.
Is the egg a "hair" of thyroid nodules?
【What is hair product? 】
hair products refer to foods that are nutritious or irritating, especially easy to induce certain diseases, , especially old diseases or aggravate existing diseases.
Hair contraindications are of great significance in dietary health and dietary treatment. Under normal circumstances, hair products are also foods. Eating them in moderation will not cause side effects or cause discomfort for most people. will only induce the disease for certain special constitutions and certain related diseases.
[Can you eat eggs after getting thyroid nodules? 】
You can also eat eggs if you suffer from thyroid nodules.
There are a lot of protein, minerals and vitamins in eggs, which can replenish the body's needed nutrition and have no adverse effects on the condition. However, do not eat too much to avoid increasing the digestive burden of the stomach.
Doctor: Protect the thyroid gland, please avoid 5 items
first type, spicy and stimulating food
like hot pot, spicy and stimulating food, although eating can increase people's appetite, if you consume too much, it will not only damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, induce gastrointestinal diseases and aggravate the burden on the body, but also affect normal endocrine.
, especially for patients with thyroid nodules, it will also cause the nodules to become bigger and aggravate the condition, which is not good for health. Therefore, it is best to touch less food like this spicy and stimulating.
2 The second type is high-sugar food
High-sugar foods, such as honey, ice cream, jelly, milk tea, cakes, chocolate, sugarcane, durian, longan , carbonated beverages, sugary beverages, candied fruits, etc. The sugar content in this type of food is very high. The sugar and lipid foods contained in foods such as
will be converted into triglyceride and retained in the body. The metabolic capacity of our human thyroid gland is limited. If we consume such foods frequently, the thyroid gland will not be secreted for a long time, which will naturally affect the thyroid function, which may lead to "malignant changes" of the nodules.
The third type, greasy food
like braised pork , pot bun meat , hamburgers, fried chicken, etc. are all greasy foods. Although they are delicious, they contain very high calories and fat content.
If consumed regularly, it will inevitably lead to excessive fat accumulation in the body, causing weight gain. In addition, after gaining weight gain, it will affect the normal metabolism of the body and increase the work burden of the thyroid gland. Therefore, in order to maintain the health of the thyroid gland, it is recommended to focus on a light diet.
The fourth type is pickled food
pickled food, such as pickled , bacon, salted fish, kimchi, etc. Although it is delicious, when this type of food is pickled, a large amount of salt will be added to keep fresh. Therefore, the salt content of the food after pickling is very high.
If excessive concentrations of salt are intaken into the body, it will destroy thyroxine , thereby increasing the probability of thyroid damage to carcinogens and promoting the occurrence of thyroid tumors.
The fifth type, high-salt food
salt contains more iodine elements, which will not only have a certain impact on blood vessels, induce hypertension , but also affect endocrine, leading to hormone imbalance, thyroid abnormality, and induce the disease.
Therefore, it is recommended that should be minimized as much as possible intake of high-salt foods, avoid excessive salt intake, affect hormone levels, and induce the disease.
Conclusion: To put it briefly, if you have poor thyroid function or have already suffered from this type of disease, you need to pay more attention and be sure to reduce eating spicy, greasy, overly salty, pickled, and overly sweet foods.
If conditions permit, hope you can stick to diet therapy, neither taking medicine nor undergoing surgery . Diet therapy uses the gentlest way to heal your body.
