What Does Mild Diffuse Change in Thyroid Mean?

Mild diffuse thyroid changes are a manifestation of the thyroid gland under color Doppler ultrasound, presenting as diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland. Mild diffuse thyroid changes are generally manifestations of Hashimoto's thyroiditis on color Doppler ultrasound and usually need to be combined with thyroid function for diagnosis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that can manifest as hyperthyroidism in the early stages and progress to lifelong hypothyroidism in the later stages. Simple diffuse thyroid changes without thyroid dysfunction do not require special treatment.

1. Eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking.

2. Stay hydrated and drink about 2500ml of water per day. Avoid stimulatory drinks such as coffee and strong tea.

3. Control high-fiber foods appropriately, especially during diarrhea.

4. Pay attention to the reasonable combination of nutritional components.

5. Avoid iodine-rich foods such as kelp, seafood, and jellyfish. Since iodine is easily volatile in the air or when heated, it is sufficient to expose iodized salt to air or slightly heat it for use.

6. Avoid foods rich in potassium and calcium.

7. Control your diet appropriately after the condition improves.
