Thyroid nodules "demon-slaying"! Nezha's three heads and six arms teach you how to slay demons and prevent nodules

Does the "thyroid nodule" on the physical examination report make you feel nervous? The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine organ located in the neck. It is small in size and functions by secreting thyroid hormones. Its main function is to regulate the body's metabolism. Therefore, it is often likened to the "engine of the human body."

A national epidemiological survey in 2020 found that the prevalence of thyroid nodules (thyroid nodules with a diameter of more than 0.5 cm discovered by ultrasound) in adults over 18 years old in my country was 20.43%.

Don’t panic! In the new film, Nezha is not even afraid of the heavenly calamity, so what is this “little demon”?

Today, we will transform into "Healthy Nezha", analyze the nodule classification with the speed of the wind and fire wheels, and then use the wisdom of the Hun Tian Ling to tie up the preventive measures! I guarantee that you will finish reading with a smile, and from now on, the "evil spirits" on the physical examination form will disappear!

1. Nodule classification: Nezha teaches you to see through the "enemy situation" at a glance

The most important thing when facing thyroid nodules is to evaluate whether they are benign or malignant, and high-resolution ultrasound is the most important imaging examination.

The ultrasound report of thyroid nodules is like Nezha's "Heavenly Curse". The higher the grade, the more vigilant you should be! The TI-RADS grading system is your "magic mirror"

Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (Second Edition):

1. Level 1 (TI-RADS 1) → “Calm”:

The thyroid gland is as smooth as a mirror, without even a little demon, so go home and enjoy your candy with peace of mind!

2. Level 2 (TI-RADS 2) → "Little demon walk":

Benign nodules are as harmless as Taiyi Zhenren’s belly and only require annual check-ups.

3. Level 3 (TI-RADS 3) → "Suspicious dark shadow":

The probability of malignancy is <2%. Nezha said: "I can disperse this little bit of evil energy with just one roar!"

4. Level 4 (TI-RADS 4A/B/C) → “Evil spirit pervades”:

The risk of malignancy ranges from 2% to 90%, divided into three levels: A, B, C.

2%-10%,

10%-50%,

50%-90%.

You need to see a specialist and do a puncture biopsy, like Nezha's fire spear.

5. Level 5 (TI-RADS 5) → "Big Boss Appears":

The probability of malignancy is >90%, so please consult a doctor immediately to discuss the “demon-killing plan”!

6. Level 6 (TI-RADS 6) → "Hit the Demon King":

Confirmed to be malignant, but don't be afraid! Modern medicine is more accurate than Nezha's Qiankun Circle~

Nezha's famous quote: "Whether it's a demon or a fairy, I have the final say!"

——Whether the nodule is benign or malignant, the doctor has the final say!

2. Prevention tips: Hun Tian Ling health rules, nodules will go away!

Want to learn Nezha's "no knot physique"? Remember these 5 "body protection magic skills":

1. Diet "circle of heaven and earth":

- Eat iodized salt in moderation, don’t eat too much seafood, and be slow with kelp and seaweed. Be careful of thyroid obesity due to overwork!

- Eating more broccoli and blueberries are good antioxidants, which will prevent nodules from getting worse.

2. Emotional "Hot Wheels":

- Less emo and more haha! When you are under pressure, just shout like Nezha: "Fuck his life!"

——When you are in a good mood, your endocrine system won’t go haywire.

3. Radiation protection "Fire Spear":

- Stay away from radiation, especially the neck. Wear protective gear during CT scans to prevent radiation from "hidden dangers".

4. Physical examination:

- Have a thyroid ultrasound once a year, no matter how small the nodule is, it will be visible!

Thyroid function is one of the routine tests for thyroid diseases in clinical laboratories.

When your thyroid gland is overactive:

TSH↓, T3 (TT3, FT3)↑, T4 (TT4, FT4)↑.

When your thyroid is hypoactive:

TSH↑, T3 (TT3, FT3)↓, T4 (TT4, FT4)↓.

Nezha: I don’t have three eyes for nothing!

5. Rest and Work in Lotus Form

- Stay up late less! Staying up late will damage your thyroid gland, be careful it may go on strike!

3. Cold knowledge: The “True and False Monkey King” in the nodule world

- Rumor Buster:

- ❌“Does a big nodule mean it’s cancer?” →

Wrong! Size does not equal good or evil, the key is to look at the classification!

- ❌ “Is everything fine after the nodule is removed?” →

Overtreatment may harm your body, so listen to your doctor!

- Truth Radar:

- ✅Women are more susceptible to this disease (estrogen says: I take the blame), but men should not take it lightly!

- ✅95% of nodules are benign, a true “paper tiger”!

4. Easter Egg: The "Nodularity" in Nezha's New Movie

If Ao Bing secretly grew a nodule on his neck, Nezha would laugh at him: "Are there pearls hidden in your dragon scales?" But after checking, it turned out to be benign, so the two brothers immediately teamed up to eat skewers to celebrate!

"Nodules? They're all scum in front of the passionate young man!"

Thyroid nodules are just a "little demon". If you can see through the classification and take adequate preventive measures, you can be your own "demon slayer"!

Remember: "If fate is unfair, fight it to the end!"

——We won the battle for health beautifully!
