What effect does thyroid nodule have on human body?

The clinical incidence of thyroid nodules is very high. This is a kind of nodule, which can be single or multiple. When the thyroid function is abnormal, it will have a great impact on the human body, and even affect the operation of many organs of the body. So we must pay attention to the problem of thyroid.

What effect does thyroid nodule have on human body?

1, the disease develops seriously, the nodules are enlarged, and the peripheral trachea and blood vessels are compressed. Early thyroid nodule with slight protrusion of neck tumor. As time goes on, tuberculosis will grow slowly and its condition will deteriorate. Nodules expand to a certain extent, which will compress trachea, blood vessels, esophageal tubes and so on. Around the thyroid. Patients may have difficulty breathing, eating and swallowing. Insomnia, dreaminess, dysphagia, dyspnea, low labor and work efficiency, and even loss of labor ability.

2, leading to diabetes. Thyroid hormone can antagonize the effect of insulin. The content of physiological thyroid hormone in thyroid gland is too high, which has strong anti-insulin effect, can promote intestinal glucose absorption and gluconeogenesis, and lead to hyperglycemia and diabetes.

3, infertility. Thyroid gland belongs to the endocrine organ of human body, which can control the utilization speed of energy, make protein, and adjust the sensitivity of the body to other hormones. When thyroid nodules appear, the thyroid function of human body will gradually appear obstacles, thus making the endocrine of human body begin to be unbalanced. Eventually lead to menstrual disorders, menopause, decreased sexual desire in women, impotence, premature ejaculation and other symptoms in men, and ultimately lead to infertility.

4, hoarse voice. The gradually enlarged thyroid nodule will also compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing vocal cord paralysis and hoarseness. In severe cases, it will compress the sympathetic nerve chain, causing symptoms such as fission of ipsilateral microphthalmus, pupil shrinkage and hypohidrosis.

5, damage the nerve. Thyroid nodules can cause great damage to the nervous system of patients, accompanied by memory loss, mental retardation, dizziness and depression, and even schizophrenia and dementia.

6, cause cardiovascular disease. Both thyroid hormones have heart disease, which can easily lead to cardiac hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia and even myocardial ischemia.
