summary

Recently, some people went to the hospital for physical examination because their necks became thicker, and they found that they had problems. Experts said that the causes of different patients with neck thickening are different, so we should have a deep understanding of the problem of neck thickening. Today I'm going to tell you something about the cause of neck thickening.

What is the reason that neck changes thick?

Experts remind that if the patient has a neck thickening problem, there is no improvement after using drugs, it may be subacute thyroiditis, and it is best to have some thyroid related examinations. The cause of goiter in adolescence is that the metabolism of adolescent children is exuberant, the growth and development is accelerated, and the body's demand for thyroxine is temporarily increased. In order to adapt to this demand, goiter needs to occur, which can produce more thyroxine to meet the needs of growth and development of the body at this stage. Adolescent goiter refers to the situation of adolescent goiter in non iodine deficiency areas. Especially some girls are more common, characterized by mild goiter, feel the surface of the thyroid smooth, soft, symmetrical, without any nodules.

Nodular goiter is common in middle-aged women. When the thyroid hormone is relatively insufficient in the body, the pituitary secretion increases. The long-term stimulation of thyroid in this case, after repeated or continuous hyperplasia, leads to the increase of thyroid heterogeneity and nodular degeneration. Bleeding, cystic changes and calcification can occur in the nodules. A few patients have a single nodule, but when doing thyroid imaging or surgery, multiple nodules are often found.

In fact, there are many reasons for neck thickening. We should pay attention to this kind of symptom. When we find that there is any abnormal situation in our neck, we need to go to the regular hospital in time to treat the disease. At the same time, we should also pay more attention to maintaining an optimistic attitude. If we have a good attitude, we can get better and avoid other hazards and hidden dangers.

matters needing attention

Iodine is an important raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormone. The level of thyroid hormone in blood decreased, and the negative feedback effect on adenohypophysis weakened, which increased the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone in adenohypophysis. Thyroid stimulating hormone can promote the proliferation of thyroid cells, resulting in goiter.
