Why is the thyroid blood flow signal not strong?

The thyroid gland is a very important organ for mammals. Of course, humans are also a type of mammal. The thyroid gland is a very important secretory organ in the human body. It can control the rate at which the body uses energy, produce proteins necessary for the human body, and so on. The thyroid gland is rich in blood flow, but some people have an insufficient thyroid blood flow signal. What's going on?

In thyroid ultrasound, if the thyroid gland has abundant blood flow, it is often a manifestation of hyperthyroidism. A normal thyroid gland does not have abundant blood flow. It is recommended to see an endocrinologist to check thyroid function. As long as the thyroid function is normal, no treatment is needed.

If the blood flow is abundant, hyperthyroidism may be considered. If the blood flow is not abundant, hypothyroidism may be present. Therefore, it is better to have normal blood flow. It is recommended to do thyroid function and thyroid autoantibody tests to judge the condition. Live a regular life and keep your emotions stable.

Thyroid nodules are difficult to characterize. Firstly, they are relatively small. Secondly, they may also be thyroid follicles filled with thyroid colloid, so they may not necessarily have clinical significance. As for whether the thyroid gland has abundant blood flow, this question is difficult to answer. In addition to patients with hyperthyroidism, some patients with thyroiditis also have relatively abundant blood flow. Guidance: You cannot just look at the B-ultrasound results, you also need to look at the thyroid function. If necessary, do a thyroid static image and thyroid iodine uptake rate to evaluate the function of the thyroid gland.

treat

[Treatment policy]

Anti-hyperthyroidism treatment is mainly used for patients with hyperthyroidism to improve symptoms and reduce the occurrence of complications.

[Drug treatment]

There are two types of antithyroid drugs - imidazoles and thiouracils, and the representative drugs are methimazole and propylthiouracil respectively.

[Surgical treatment]

Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with significant thyroid enlargement, those with highly suspected thyroid malignancy, or those with thyroid enlargement that compresses the trachea and causes breathing difficulties.

[Other treatments]

Radioactive iodine is suitable for patients with moderate thyroid enlargement or recurrence of hyperthyroidism. It is absolutely contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women and is not suitable for hyperthyroid patients with thyroid eye disease.

[Prognosis]

The disease usually recurs 1 to 5 years after surgery, and most patients are young. Surgery is required again for postoperative recurrence.
