With the development of science and technology, electronic devices have become a necessity in life, and most electronic devices carry radiation, and previous studies have shown that thyroid tissue is very "sensitive" to radiationSo is there a correlation between radiation from electronic devices and the development of thyroid disease?
Multinational guidelines also make it clear that ionizing radiation from radiation is an exogenous risk factor for thyroid cancer, especially in childhood.
Effects of ionizing radiation on the thyroid gland.
In general, ionizing radiation (nuclear radiation, radiotherapy, X-rays, CT examinations, etc.) and electronic devices such as mobile phones are closely related to thyroid diseaseNon-ionizing radiationWhat are the effects of low energy and weak power on the thyroid gland?Let's take a look.
1. Does mobile phone radiation have an effect on the thyroid gland?Mobile phones are "close at hand" with us, especially when answering ** closer to the thyroid gland, especially some people like to put their mobile phones at the head of the bed when sleeping, so they are more concerned about the impact of mobile phone radiation on the thyroid gland.
In many studies on the relationship between the thyroid gland and cell phone radiation,All indicate that mobile phone radiation may cause changes in thyroid hormone (T3 T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).And the results of multiple histological tests, as well as an article from 2019, showedLong-term use of mobile phones may lead to a decrease in the diameter of thyroid follicles, which affects changes in thyroid hormone levels, the mechanism of which may be related to the increase in the activity of the apoptosis-dependent protease pathway and the induction of apoptosis of thyroid follicular cells.
At the same time, it has also been shown that the exposure of thyroid tissue to electromagnetic fields may have a negative impact on the process of iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, and that tissue thermal effects in the electromagnetic environment may lead to changes in hypothalamic-pituitary hormone secretion.
Mobile phone radiation and thyroid cancer.
The relationship between mobile phone radiation and thyroid cancer is unclear.
Another study from the Yale School of Public Health in late 2019 showed that in certain populations with specific genetic mutations, the incidence of thyroid cancer was higher due to mobile phone radiation. That is to say,Whether mobile phone radiation is more likely to induce thyroid cancer is also closely related to genetic predispositionAnother study in early 2020 tended to suggest that there was no obvious link between mobile phone use and thyroid cancer, but the relationship between long-term and frequent mobile phone use and risk factors for thyroid microcarcinoma deserves further study. Mobile phone radiation and thyroid nodules.
This is confirmed by a domestic observation of 814 cases: through epidemiological and bioelectromagnetic dosimetry methods, it was foundThe size of thyroid nodules increases with the intensity of cell phone useThis should be regarded as the first "real hammer" in China to study the effects of mobile phone radiation on thyroid nodules.
In summary, mobile phone radiation has a certain effect on the thyroid gland, and it is hoped that thyroid patients can control the use of mobile phones. 2. What health problems can mobile phones cause?Although the damage caused by mobile phone radiation to thyroid health is limited, the health effects on other aspects are obvious, and we should still be vigilant and try to minimize the time spent "close to each other" with mobile phones.
What are the health risks caused by using mobile phones for a long time?
Tenosynovitis:Long-term and frequent use of the thumb to send WeChat messages and play games can lead to tenosynovitis, which is manifested as pain in the thumb and dare not move.
Dry eye syndrome:Staring at the phone screen for a long time, especially when the attention is very concentrated, the number of blinks will be significantly reduced, resulting in a decrease in tear secretion, which will cause dry eyes, which is manifested as soreness, fatigue, and inability to see.
Glaucoma:If you play with your phone in the dark at night after the lights go out, the muscles of your eyes will become tense and your intraocular pressure will rise. It may induce the occurrence of glaucoma. With the advent of the 5G era, the flood of information is flooding us, and most people have become a member of the "bowing family". Thyroid patients are more susceptible to prolonged use of mobile phonesIt is hoped that thyroid patients will be out of the control of the "mobile phone".Take a look at the scenery in the distanceDevelop good habits such as exercising more and maintaining a regular daily routine!
