Causes of nodular thyroid cysts

Nodular thyroid cyst is a very common disease. This disease is caused by many reasons. So for many patients, when they get this disease, for their own health and to recover as soon as possible, many people want to know what the causes are. In order for you to understand it as soon as possible, please take a look at the following introduction.

Treating thyroid nodules is about finding the cause

1. Iodine deficiency: The iodine content in the soil, water and food in endemic areas is inversely proportional to the incidence of goiter. In addition, the increased need for thyroid hormones by the body can cause relative iodine deficiency, such as during the growth and development period, pregnancy, lactation, cold, infection, trauma and mental stimulation.

2. Goitrogenic substances: Radish foods contain thiourea-type goitrogenic substances. Soybeans and cabbage also contain certain substances that can inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormones, causing goiter.

3. Hormone synthesis disorder: The cause of familial goiter is hereditary enzyme defects, which cause hormone synthesis disorders. For example, lack of peroxidase and deiodinase affects the synthesis of thyroid hormone, or lack of hydrolase makes it difficult to separate thyroid hormone from thyroglobulin and release it into the blood, which can lead to goiter.

4. High iodine: rare, may be local or sporadic distribution, the pathogenesis is that excessive intake of iodine leads to excessive occupation of TPO functional genes, thus affecting tyrosine iodination, the organic process of iodine is blocked, and the thyroid gland is compensatory enlarged.

5. Gene mutation: This type of abnormality includes point mutations in exon 10 of the thyroglobulin gene.

This article gives a detailed introduction to the causes of nodular thyroid cysts. If you have nodular thyroid cysts, in order to recover as quickly as possible, you should have a specific understanding of the causes introduced above. After understanding, choose a professional and regular hospital for comprehensive treatment. I believe that you will be able to recover as soon as possible through treatment.
