The neck and chin became thicker and the face became swollen

People's skin may appear watery. This may be caused by drinking too much water. Some people will have symptoms such as thicker neck and chin and deformed face. If edema is ruled out, it is very likely an enlarged thyroid gland. An enlarged thyroid gland is caused by a lack of iodine in the body and should be treated in time, otherwise it will become more and more serious. Let's take a look at what to do if your neck and chin become thicker and your face becomes swollen?

Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by excessive proliferation of benign thyroid epithelial cells. Hyperthyroidism may or may not be accompanied by thyroid enlargement, and thyroid enlargement may be caused by hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for a check-up and have a professional doctor make a treatment plan based on their own condition. They should not seek medical treatment blindly. If your neck is a bit thick, it may be due to goiter, one of the thyroid diseases. What is goiter? Goiter is caused by excessive thyroxine in the blood due to various reasons. It is also an important factor in the occurrence of hyperthyroidism when various mental stimuli (sadness, anger, fright, fear, etc.) cause dysfunction of the nervous system (especially the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis). If your neck becomes thicker, it is usually due to an enlarged thyroid gland. Go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thyroid B-ultrasound and test T3 and T4 at the same time, and receive symptomatic treatment based on the test results.

If you experience uncomfortable symptoms such as facial swelling, the possible cause may be inflammatory infection. First of all, don't be too nervous. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for routine blood and urine tests, neck ultrasound, etc. to understand your physical condition and then determine the treatment measures. If the neck is swollen, it may be caused by hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, which may cause certain damage to the body. It is recommended to take him to the hospital for examination and treatment with medication. He should also pay attention to his diet. Go to the hospital to test your thyroid function, find out the cause and then treat it accordingly.

Hyperthyroidism, abbreviated as "hyperthyroidism", is a disease caused by the thyroid gland synthesizing and releasing too much thyroid hormone, which causes the body's hypermetabolism and sympathetic nerve excitement, leading to palpitations, sweating, increased eating and bowel movements, and weight loss. Most patients also often have symptoms such as exophthalmos, eyelid edema, and decreased vision. Simple goiter is commonly known as "thick neck", "big neck" or "goiter neck". It is a compensatory goiter mainly caused by iodine deficiency and is generally not accompanied by abnormal thyroid function. Sporadic goiter may have a variety of causes leading to similar results, namely, the body's demand for thyroid hormones increases, or thyroid hormone production is impaired, the human body is in a state of relative or absolute thyroid hormone deficiency, serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion increases, and only the thyroid tissue proliferates and hypertrophies. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time for treatment, undergo B-ultrasound examination to determine whether there is thyroid enlargement, and conduct relevant examinations and tests to determine whether there is hyperthyroidism, etc., and give appropriate treatment based on the specific examination results.
