Thyroid disease is very common nowadays, especially thyroid nodules. Middle-aged women in particular should do a good job in preventing this disease. They should eat a high-protein, high-calorie diet, not smoke, not drink, and maintain a good attitude to better reduce the occurrence of this disease.

1. The diet should be based on the principles of high calories, high protein, high vitamins, moderate fat and sodium salt intake, and less spicy and irritating condiments. The food should be soft, easy to digest, and rich in nutrition. Do not eat too much high-iodine food, such as kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, seaweed and algae, to prevent poor control of hyperthyroidism. No smoking, no alcohol, strong tea or coffee.

2. Provide adequate vitamins and inorganic salts. Provide adequate carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates and fats have the effect of saving protein. If they are supplied in sufficient quantities, protein can play its unique physiological functions. Vitamins and inorganic salts can regulate physiological functions and improve body metabolism, especially vitamin B and vitamin C. Adequate calcium and iron should be given to prevent deficiency.

Patients who are energetic and cheerful generally have better therapeutic effects, otherwise they will be worse. Therefore, in terms of prevention, we should care for the patients, talk to them more, understand their mental state, and guide them to put aside their doubts.

5. Pay attention to observe whether the patient has any symptoms of hypermetabolic syndrome, whether the thyroid gland is enlarged, whether the eyeballs are bulging, whether there are any abnormalities in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, blood system, reproductive system, and motor system, and whether the skin and extremities have edema, flushing, dampness, clubbing, and other abnormal manifestations. Pay special attention to changes in body temperature and cardiovascular system to prevent the occurrence of hyperthyroid crisis and hyperthyroid heart disease.

6. Note that the dosage depends on the patient's age. During treatment, you should pay attention to observe changes in the condition, whether there is allergy to thyroid drugs, drug rash, liver damage, leukopenia, and liver function and blood routine tests should be checked regularly. When using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, you should pay attention to the method of decocting and taking the medicine, as well as the taboos during the medication process.
