The echogenicity of the thyroid lobes is uneven

The thyroid gland should be checked regularly because it may have many hidden problems. There are many ways to check the thyroid gland, including B-ultrasound. There are many problems with the thyroid gland, such as uneven echoes in both lobes of the thyroid gland. This is actually a sign of thyroid disease. So what's the matter with the uneven echoes in both lobes of the thyroid gland?

The thyroid B-ultrasound echo is uneven. This is a description of the thyroid B-ultrasound's morphology. This uneven echo indicates that the thyroid may have some bad lesions. For example, if you have a thyroid tumor or thyroid cancer, you need to combine it with a thyroid function test to see if there is any accompanying hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Furthermore, if we want to determine the nature of thyroid lesions, we can perform a pathological examination of the thyroid to see whether there are malignant cells or cancer cells. Pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing the nature of lesions. It is now widely used in clinical practice, and the false positive and false negative rates of diagnosis are relatively low.

Uneven thyroid echo can generally be considered as the presence of thyroiditis, but it does not rule out the possibility that it may be caused by other thyroid diseases. Further examination is needed to make a clear diagnosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for five thyroid function tests to see if it is caused by hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. If all five thyroid function tests are normal, it is considered to be caused by thyroiditis.

Most benign nodules, that is, more than 90% of benign nodules and almost all malignant nodules are hypoechoic nodules. Hypoechoic nodules may be malignant or benign, so they are not necessarily malignant. However, hypoechoic nodules generally require further examination to determine whether they are benign or malignant. The most common type of thyroid inflammation is subacute thyroiditis.

Subacute thyroiditis often presents with pain in the front of the neck on one side, which may then spread to the opposite side or radiate to the base of the ear and neck. The pain is also quite severe and may also be accompanied by fever, muscle pain, and fatigue. The main manifestations of suppurative thyroiditis are local thyroid enlargement and pain, and may also be accompanied by systemic fever, fatigue and other symptoms. Local tenderness is quite obvious, and if suppuration occurs, there may be a sense of fluctuation.
