How to take care of calcified thyroid nodules

The thyroid gland is a very important endocrine gland in the human body. Once a disease occurs in this part, the damage caused is quite serious. A typical example is the calcification of thyroid nodules. In addition to active treatment, the patient's daily health care measures are also very important and can promote recovery from the disease. So, how can we take care of the calcified thyroid nodules? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Diet should pay attention to

Calories: Because hyperthyroidism increases the body's metabolic rate, the calories needed can be increased every day;

Protein: You can increase the amount of protein, such as meat, eggs, milk, etc.;

Vitamins: As the calorie intake increases, the demand for B vitamins also increases, so you should pay attention to supplementing them;

Avoid irritating foods such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and be sure to avoid seafood (even kelp) and chili peppers.

Avoid smoking and drinking; avoid spicy foods such as onions, peppers, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc.; avoid greasy and fried foods

Best time to take iodine supplement

Studies have shown that iodine supplementation cannot improve intelligence levels at all times. Only by supplementing enough iodine during the fetal and infant period can their intellectual development proceed normally. If you miss this period of iodine supplementation, it is unlikely to improve their IQ. It can be seen that iodine supplementation for pregnant women is very important for the intellectual development of the fetus.

Iodine deficiency in pregnant women can not only cause fetal brain development disorders, but also cause obvious mental retardation and psychomotor disorders after birth, typical manifestations of cretinism, such as deaf-muteness, hemiplegia and short stature. In severe cases, it can cause deformity, premature birth, miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death.

The above is an introduction to how to maintain health care for calcified thyroid nodules. I hope it will be helpful to patients. When thyroid nodule calcification occurs, you must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and cooperate with usual health care measures and appropriate physical exercise to achieve the effect of auxiliary treatment of thyroid nodule calcification and strive to recover as soon as possible.
