Why does thyroid cancer cause a cold back?

Thyroid cancer may cause a cold back, which may be caused by thyroid cancer metastasis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, iodine deficiency, etc. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Metastasis of thyroid cancer: If thyroid cancer metastasizes to distant sites, it may metastasize to the lungs or bones, thereby compressing local nerves and causing a cold back. In this case, surgical resection should be performed promptly, and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other auxiliary treatments should be used;

2. Hypothyroidism: If you have thyroid cancer and it is not discovered and treated in time, the condition may worsen, resulting in insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones, which can cause hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can slow down the body's metabolism, resulting in a cold back. At this time, you can take drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

3. Hyperthyroidism: If you have thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism at the same time, the increased level of thyroid hormone in your body will cause your metabolism to speed up, leading to symptoms of back coldness. At this time, you can take propylthiouracil tablets and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by your doctor;

4. Iodine deficiency: If the patient is in a state of iodine deficiency for a long time during the illness, it may lead to insufficient iodine intake in the body, thus affecting the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones in the body, and also causing back coldness. At this time, you can eat some iodine-containing foods, such as kelp, seaweed, etc.

If the patient has anemia or other conditions, the above symptoms may also occur. It is recommended that patients pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late and overwork. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
