Thyroid left lobe nodule with calcification

To put it simply, the nodule with calcification in the left lobe of the thyroid gland is the abnormal proliferation of tissue cells in the thyroid gland, which causes them to accumulate in the thyroid gland to form nodules, which gradually become more and more serious and calcify, or harden. Long-term insufficient iodine intake by the human body or long-term fatigue of the thyroid gland are both sources of this disease. In addition, the calcification of thyroid nodules will cause different symptoms depending on the degree of calcification, and some may even develop into malignant cancer cells.

Calcification of thyroid nodules is a disease of the human body. The thyroid gland is located on both sides of the upper end of the trachea in the front of the neck, below the thyroid cartilage, and can be divided into left and right lobes, connected by a narrow isthmus in the middle. Thyroid nodules are dense proliferation of thyroid tissue cells. The number of cells per unit volume significantly exceeds the normal value, forming thyroid nodules. The early symptoms of thyroid nodules are not obvious and can be easily confused with thyroid cysts. Strong light spots, strong light spots or strong light rings can be seen under ultrasound.

significance

① Granular calcification is almost common to all thyroid malignancies and is often a characteristic manifestation of papillary adenocarcinoma.

② About 10% to 20% of the coarse calcification images are cancers, among which follicular adenocarcinoma accounts for a large proportion.

③ Medullary carcinoma often has a mixture of coarse particles and sand-like calcifications.

④ Generally, the calcification images of benign thyroid tumors are dense and have clear edges, while the shadows of malignant tumors are faint and blurred.

prevention

The iodine element in the diet has the greatest impact on the thyroid gland. Insufficient or excessive iodine intake can cause thyroid disease. Iodine deficiency is the main cause of goiter. The daily diet of people in plateaus and mountainous areas often lacks iodine, so they should use iodized salt to cook. People in coastal areas should control their iodine intake.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of thyroid disease is closely related to emotional disorders. Maintaining a good mentality and optimistic attitude towards life can significantly reduce the occurrence of thyroid disease.

Excessive fatigue will increase the burden on the thyroid gland. In the long run, the thyroid gland will be in an unstable state, reducing the body's immunity. When affected by external factors, such as chemical stimulation or invasion by bacteria and viruses, lesions are likely to occur. Therefore, combining work and rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and work style are also effective ways to prevent thyroid disease.
