Hypoechoic solid thyroid nodules

Thyroid disease is a common problem that is complex to treat. Surgery is usually required, and attention should be paid to diet and lifestyle. The thyroid gland can also cause other serious medical problems. For example, hypoechoic solid nodules in the thyroid gland are a serious phenomenon and should be treated promptly once they occur. What should I do if I only have hypoechoic solid nodules in my thyroid gland?

Hypoechoic or hyperechoic is relative to normal

As for the echo of the gland, if it is a cyst or liquid tissue, the echo is low relative to the glandular tissue, and if it is calcified tissue, the echo is high. Thyroid nodules are a very common disease, especially in middle-aged women. Thyroid nodules are divided into two categories: benign and malignant. Benign nodules account for the vast majority, while malignant nodules account for less than 1%. There are many thyroid diseases clinically, such as thyroid degeneration, inflammation, autoimmunity and neoplasms, which can manifest as nodules. Thyroid nodules can be single or multiple, and the incidence of multiple nodules is higher than that of single nodules.

You can observe and check ultrasound regularly. It is best to have a follow-up check every 6 months or so and perform surgical treatment if there are any problems. Pay attention to a regular life, eat a light diet, don't stay up late, and learn to relieve stress on your own. Don't eat high-calorie and high-fat foods.

Thyroid nodules refer to lumps inside the thyroid gland that can move up and down with the thyroid gland with swallowing. It is a common clinical disease and can be caused by a variety of causes. There are many thyroid diseases clinically, such as thyroid degeneration, inflammation, autoimmunity and neoplasms, which can manifest as nodules. Thyroid nodules can be single or multiple. The incidence of multiple nodules is higher than that of single nodules, but the incidence of thyroid cancer in single nodules is higher.

Causes Thyroid nodules can be caused by a variety of causes.

1. Hyperplastic nodular goiter is caused by excessive or low iodine intake, consumption of goitrogenic substances, taking goitrogenic drugs, or thyroid hormone synthase deficiency.

2. Tumor nodules include benign thyroid tumors, thyroid papilloma, follicular cell carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, lymphoma and other thyroid follicular cell and non-follicular cell malignant tumors and metastatic cancer.

3. Cysts caused by nodular goiter, adenoma degeneration and old hemorrhagic macules cystic change, thyroid cancer cystic change, congenital thyrohyoid cyst and fourth branchial cleft remnant.

4. Inflammatory nodules Acute suppurative thyroiditis, subacute suppurative thyroiditis, and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis can all appear in the form of nodules. Rarely, thyroid nodules are caused by tuberculosis or syphilis.
