Thyroid problems, many people know that it will lead to “big neck bubbles”, but it turns out that it will induce other physical problems. The thyroid gland is actually a butterfly-shaped gland located on both sides of the trachea. It mainly secretes thyroxine, which can regulate the metabolism of the whole body, including the control of organs and functions from the skin, eyes, muscles, bones, as well as the heart and mental emotions. Too much or too little hormone secretion can lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
In addition, the thyroid can also have the opportunity to cause diseases due to abnormal morphology, such as single nodule or multiple nodules, which can cause thyroid cysts or adenomas. Although most of them are benign, they can also become the feared thyroid cancer.
As for the often heard large cervical vesicles, it also belongs to the situation of goiter, which can be caused by benign or malignant tumors. There are many reasons for thyroid nodules, such as family inheritance, autoimmune diseases, drinking water or food. Containing goiter-causing substances, exposure to radiation on the head and neck, and insufficient iodine intake are all causes.
Although the chance of suffering from a fatal malignant tumor is relatively small, the swelling of the neck may compress the nerves and vocal cords of the larynx, causing problems such as hoarseness or difficulty in swallowing. Therefore, if a thyroid tumor is found to be malignant, or the tumor is obstructing the esophagus and The trachea can be considered surgically removed.
