Are thyroid calcifications serious?

Are thyroid calcifications serious? For those who have a light taste or do not take iodine very often on a daily basis, thyroid problems are very likely to occur. As people's living and eating habits are getting worse and worse, people's bodies are very fragile, which makes it easier to cause thyroid problems. However, thyroid problems are generally not very serious. However, if thyroid calcification points appear, patients need to pay special attention, because this is quite serious.

Calcified thyroid nodules usually occur in patients with a long medical history. Definition of thyroid nodule calcification: The thyroid tissue cells proliferate densely, the cell content per unit volume significantly exceeds the normal value, and strong light spots, strong light spots or strong light rings can be seen under ultrasound.

There are three meanings of thyroid nodule calcification: tendency to cancer; Hashimoto's disease; and nodular sclerosis. It is recommended to do a thyroid function test first to see if there is any inflammation. There are generally two types of nodules: one is the abnormal proliferation of thyroid tissue, and the other is caused by abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones. When the diameter of the nodule is greater than three centimeters, surgical treatment is considered.

Clinical examination and treatment methods: Western medicine mainly uses surgery to treat thyroid nodule calcification, but surgery has certain side effects and is prone to recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine thyroid therapy mainly uses conservative treatment.

1. If the strong light spot is large, it is recommended to do a puncture to check the pathology.

2. You can avoid surgery and use conservative treatment with Chinese medicine, represented by "TCM and method". Check again after a period of time. If the strong light spot is reduced, it means the effect is evident and you can continue treatment until recovery.

3. If it is Hashimoto's disease, the test results show that the antibodies are significantly elevated and it can be treated as Hashimoto's disease. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine is the most effective treatment.

Now that we understand the question of whether thyroid calcification is serious, and also know the common treatments for thyroid calcification, in order to recover from the disease earlier, it is recommended that patients adjust their diet while undergoing treatment. They should eat more foods high in iodine on a daily basis. This is very helpful for the recovery of thyroid calcification.
