What are the causes of goiter

Goiter is very harmful, so we must pay more attention to our physical condition at ordinary times. At the same time, we should know more about the main causes of goiter and pay attention to prevention. Here are the reasons why I recommend goiter for you. I hope it can help you.

1. Iodine deficiency

In ancient China, seaweed was used to treat endemic goiter. The lack of iodine content in water, soil and food in endemic goiter area and the reduction of iodine intake in diet are the most important decisive factors of this disease.

2. Genetic factors or autoimmune factors

It has long been proposed that heredity or autoimmunity plays an auxiliary role in the cause of endemic goiter, but it has not been further confirmed. Some people in the same external environment suffer from goiter, while others do not suffer from goiter, which reminds people of the possibility of genetic factors. A large number of studies in Greece have confirmed that endemic goiter has a familial tendency.

3. Congenital deficiency of thyroid hormone synthesis

When thyroid hormone is synthesized, it will need a lot of enzymes to catalyze it, otherwise it will not be completed or poorly completed. This is the most common clinical manifestation of thyroid diseases. Therefore, patients with goiter must be prevented in time.

4. Other aspects

During pregnancy, postpartum and menopause, women have too much or too little iodine in their bodies, as well as mental stimulation and trauma, which are also a cause of goiter. At this time, due to the enhancement of systemic metabolism, the body is relatively lack of iodine, and compensatory goiter occurs. It was found that the majority of thyroid gland occurred in women aged 20 ~ 50.

1. Eat more vegetables

Green cauliflower, cabbage bud, cabbage, white cauliflower, mustard leaf, peach, pear, yellow turnip, soybean, spinach, turnip. These foods help suppress thyroid hormones.

2. Eat more seaweed

Seaweed is rich in iodine, and the thyroid has the ability to absorb iodine. Large doses of iodine entering the thyroid can destroy the thyroid, which achieves the same purpose as removing the thyroid. Therefore, iodine can be used to treat hyperthyroidism. It is forbidden for those under 20 years old, pregnant or lactating, active pulmonary tuberculosis or severe liver and kidney dysfunction.

3. Avoid irritants

Ban dairy products for at least three months, and avoid irritants, coffee, tea, nicotine, soda, etc. The substances contained in stinky tofu will aggravate the condition. Patients with hyperthyroidism should eat with caution.

5. Eat more fresh fruit

You can often eat fresh fruits rich in vitamins, such as apple, peach, jujube, lemon, coconut, mango, fig, banana, persimmon, etc. Dried fruits such as peanuts, walnuts, lotus seeds, water chestnut and chicken head rice can also be eaten often.

6. You should eat more salt containing iodine

Iodine is a component of thyroxine. Giving iodine compounds to hyperthyroidism can increase thyroxine storage and reduce release, but excess will affect antithyroidism.
