Diet therapy for thyroid nodules

Thyroid nodules are a common disease, which are mainly caused by blood vessel blockage due to too high blood concentration and thyroid inflammation. When thyroid nodules appear, it is best to use diet therapy and hot compresses to eliminate blood clots, so as to avoid the occurrence of thyroid hyperplasia. Regarding the dietary therapy for thyroid nodules, you can learn about the contents introduced in the article.

Thyroid nodules are a very common disease, especially in middle-aged women. Thyroid nodules are divided into two categories: benign and malignant. Benign nodules account for the vast majority, while malignant nodules account for less than 1%. There are many thyroid diseases clinically, such as thyroid degeneration, inflammation, autoimmunity and neoplasms, which can manifest as nodules. Thyroid nodules can be single or multiple. The incidence of multiple nodules is higher than that of single nodules, but the incidence of thyroid cancer in single nodules is higher.

Thyroid nodules are complicated by various thyroid diseases, such as simple goiter, thyroiditis, thyroid tumors, etc. The nodules can be single or multiple, and clinically they can be benign or malignant. They must be carefully identified to distinguish between benign and malignant. The best way to treat this disease is to use pure Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse nodules, soothe the liver and regulate qi, etc. A very important point in the treatment of thyroid diseases is to keep calm. If you are impatient, you cannot cure thyroid diseases. Keep a good mood and eat less foods that cause goiter, such as cabbage, cabbage, kelp, walnuts, etc. It is advisable to eat the following foods:

(1) It is advisable to eat more foods that have the effect of dissolving lumps and swelling, including water chestnuts, rapeseed, mustard greens, kiwi fruit, etc.

(2) Eat more foods that enhance immunity, such as shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, fungus, walnuts, coix seeds, red dates, yam and fresh fruits.

1. Observe whether there are convulsions of hands and feet, rigidity and numbness of muscles on the face, around the lips, palms and soles of feet after thyroid nodule surgery. If so, 10% calcium gluconate or calcium chloride 11-20ml should be supplemented. For mild cases, oral calcium supplements should be taken, and the diet should control foods with high phosphorus content, such as milk, egg yolk, fish, etc.

2. On the day of thyroid nodule surgery, the patient should fast. He can eat liquid food on the second day after the operation, and drink boiled water for the first time to prevent choking and inhalation into the lungs. This is also the dietary method for patients with thyroid nodules after surgery. At first, I felt a sore throat and my voice was a little hoarse. I thought it was tonsillitis, so I went to the clinic and got two shots. But it didn't get better after the shots, and when I touched both sides of my throat, I felt a lump. I went to the hospital for a check-up and it was confirmed to be thyroid nodules. I spent more than 10,000 yuan on surgery, but it relapsed in less than two months. The doctor wanted me to have surgery again, but I didn't dare. This time I directly used Baijiexiao Decoction, and I persisted in drinking it for about three months, and the damn thyroid nodules were cured.
