According to the survey, the detection rate of thyroid nodules is as high as 76%. The prevalence of thyroid nodules is as high as 186%。In other words, 1 in 5 people in our country has a thyroid nodule.
These 6 types of peopleIt is a person with a high incidence of thyroid nodulesmoreBe vigilantOccurrence of thyroid nodules
1. People with high estrogen
Female hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, are likely to be involved in the occurrence and development of thyroid nodules. The higher the level of estrogen in the body, the more conducive to the development of thyroid nodules. Women between the ages of 20 and 40 are in the prime of life, and the level of estrogen in their bodies is the highest in their lives. As a result, women are more likely to suffer from thyroid nodules at this age.
2. People with high emotional stress
Negative psychological factors have a certain role in promoting the occurrence of nodules, and bad emotions can cause certain changes in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus, which indirectly or directly affect the human immune system, reduce the body's resistance to tumors, and increase the risk of disease.
3. People with obesity and metabolic disorders
Obesity is the core link of metabolic syndrome, and the resulting hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension are also related to the occurrence of thyroid nodules.
4. People with excessive iodine intake or iodine deficiency
Both conditions can be harmful, with a higher incidence of thyroid nodules than in areas with a normal intake of iodized salt.
5. Genetic factors
The occurrence of thyroid tumors is often the result of the combined action of genetic factors and the external environment, especially medullary nodules, which can account for 20-25% of hereditary thyroid medullary nodules.
6. People who have been irradiated for a long time
The history of cervical radiation in childhood, as a thyroid nodule, has been well established, but the risk is relatively small in terms of **. Of course, radiation dose is the key, as long as you don't work in a high-radiation environment for a long time, a little radiation problem in daily life is still not a big problem.
In fact, thyroid nodules are not terrible, the key is to treat them correctly, maintain good living habits, listen to the evaluation of professional doctors, pay attention to them, do it soon, detect it early, and be responsible for their thyroid health!
