Does thyroid cancer cause follicular hyperplasia?

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the thyroid follicular epithelium or parafollicular cells. There are many reasons for follicular hyperplasia, such as inflammation, radiation damage, genetics, immunity, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive treatment after the cause is determined.

1. Inflammation: Acute suppurative thyroiditis can cause an inflammatory reaction in the thyroid gland. Due to the inflammatory stimulation, follicular hyperplasia will occur. Patients often have symptoms such as high fever, fatigue, and chills. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin need to be used for anti-infection treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Drugs such as ibuprofen can also be used to relieve symptoms of fever and pain.

2. Radiation damage: Long-term exposure to radioactive harmful substances may cause damage to the thyroid gland, leading to follicular hyperplasia. Patients often experience symptoms such as throat pain and difficulty swallowing. You can use iodine 131 for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also use drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment. At the same time, during the treatment period, you need to pay attention to reducing radiation to the thyroid gland, and pay attention to quitting smoking and limiting alcohol in daily life;

3. Heredity: Thyroid cancer is hereditary. If parents have thyroid cancer, the probability of their children having thyroid cancer will also be relatively high. Due to the stimulation of cancer cells, follicular hyperplasia will occur. Patients often have symptoms such as difficulty breathing and hoarseness, and need to undergo surgical resection under the guidance of a doctor;

4. Immunity: If the patient's body produces antibodies against the thyroid gland, it is easy to cause malignant hyperplasia of the thyroid gland, thereby causing follicular hyperplasia. At this time, you can use iodine-131 for radiotherapy under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also use drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment as prescribed by the doctor. At the same time, pay attention to regular review of thyroid function and adjust the dosage of drugs.
