Thyroid nodules disappeared after pregnancy

First of all, the mass inside the thyroid cyst itself is very small. In addition, it is a healthy mass, such as a nodular goiter or a thyroid adenoma. After pregnancy, due to changes in female hormones in the body, the thyroid nodules may disappear on their own. This is a normal situation and there is no need to worry too much. Moreover, after pregnancy, that is, after the pregnant woman gives birth, she needs to do another thyroid cyst ultrasound to follow up on the thyroid cyst.

Further understand whether there is a mass inside the thyroid cyst and the echo condition inside the thyroid cyst. If the thyroid nodule has not shown any signs of abnormality after close follow-up, it is a good thing. If a thyroid cyst is found to have a lump after follow-up, it is necessary to further distinguish the benign or malignant nature of the lump. If it is a benign nodule and is relatively small, it can be followed up again. If it is considered to be a malignant lump, thyroid cancer eradication surgery is necessary.

There are many different conditions for thyroid nodules, including benign nodules, malignant masses, cystic nodules, and solid nodules. Different lumps have different prognoses, and some lumps can be cured.

Since thyroid nodules are usually related to endocrine system, the disappearance of thyroid nodules after pregnancy indicates that this type of thyroid nodule is multifunctional and usually related to endocrine system. This kind of situation is also quite common and does not cause much harm.

Due to the changes in the body's growth hormone after pregnancy, it also has a certain impact on thyroid hormone. It is very likely that thyroid nodules will disappear at this time.

Thyroid nodules can be caused by a variety of reasons.

1. Hyperplastic nodular goiter

Too high or too low iodine intake, taking substances that cause goiter, taking drugs that cause goiter, or thyroxine synthase deficiency, etc.

2. Tumorous mass

Thyroid cyst benign tumors, thyroid cyst papilloma, follicular cell carcinoma, thyroid cyst medullary carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, lymphoma and other thyroid cyst follicular somatic cell and non-follicular somatic cell malignant tumors and their metastatic cancers.

3. Cyst

Nodular goiter, cystadenoma degenerative lesions and old bleeding macules, cystic foci of thyroid cancer, congenital thyrohyoid cysts and cysts caused by remnants of the fourth branchial cleft.

4. Inflammatory mass

Subacute suppurative thyroiditis, acute suppurative thyroiditis, and diffuse reticulocytic thyroiditis can all appear in the form of masses. In very rare cases, thyroid nodules are caused by tuberculosis or syphilis.
