Hot nodules

Introduction "Hot nodules": The radioactivity absorbed by the nodules is higher than the surrounding thyroid tissue. Such nodules are generally more functional nodules, and patients often have hyperthyroidism. Hot nodules are generally not cancerous. Emotional factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of hyperthyroidism. "Ji Sheng Fang. The treatment of tumors" said: "The tumors are mostly caused by anger and anger, and they are overly worried." Therefore, to prevent hyperthyroidism, we should first maintain a happy spirit in our daily life. Comfortable. Secondly, a reasonable diet to avoid irritating foods is also an important preventive measure; at the same time, living regulations, do not work hard; support the spleen and stomach, enhance physical fitness and improve their own immunity and disease resistance are important.

A clinical diagnosis can be made by thyroid isotope scanning.

Differential diagnosis

This is a sign of a thyroid mass that is manifested during a thyroid isotope scan. These nodular properties have certain reference value for doctors to diagnose.

(1) "Hot nodules": Radioactive development of nodules is higher than surrounding thyroid tissue. Such nodules are generally more functional nodules, and patients often have hyperthyroidism. Hot nodules are generally not cancerous.

(2) "Warm nodules": Radioactive development of nodules is the same as radioactive development of surrounding thyroid tissue. This nodule is more common in benign thyroid tumors.

(3) "Cool nodules": Radioactive development of nodules is lower than development of surrounding thyroid tissue. This nodule is also common in benign tumors of the thyroid gland and also in thyroid malignant tumors.

(4) "Cold nodule": no nodules are radioactively developed. This nodule is found in a variety of diseases, from thyroid cancer to various benign lesions (such as cysts, hemorrhage, and fibrous necrosis). However, if the cold nodules are large, the boundary with the surrounding thyroid tissue is unclear, and it is a single nodule, it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of thyroid cancer. This is their significance. A clinical diagnosis can be made by thyroid isotope scanning.
