Whats Going on with Solid Thyroid Nodules?

The occurrence of solid thyroid nodules may be related to the patient's long-term consumption of seaweed foods, or insufficient iodine intake during development. Long-term consumption of vegetables rich in thiocyanate can also induce solid thyroid nodules. Genetic abnormalities in patients are also one of the causes of solid thyroid nodules.

1. Long-term Consumption of Seaweed Foods
If patients consume Chinese herbal medicines or seaweed foods for a long time, it may also cause solid thyroid nodules. Although iodine deficiency can also lead to thyroid nodules, consuming high-iodine seaweed foods is also very unhealthy for patients.

2. Insufficient Iodine Intake During Development
If women do not consume enough iodine during development, it can also induce thyroid nodules. If adolescent patients do not consume enough vitamins, it can also lead to iodine deficiency, which in turn can cause various diseases, among which thyroid nodules are relatively common.

3. Tissue Genetic Abnormalities
The adverse symptoms of thyroid nodules in women may also be closely related to genetics. If a patient's family has a history of solid thyroid nodules, the patient also has a high chance of developing solid thyroid nodules. Some patients suffer from solid thyroid nodules during childhood, caused by external radioactive exposure.

4. Long-term Consumption of Vegetables Rich in Thiocyanate
Long-term consumption of vegetables rich in thiocyanate, such as cabbage, radishes, and cassava, can also induce solid thyroid nodules. It is understood that cabbage is rich in thiocyanate, which may affect the production of iodides in the patient's body, thereby inducing adverse symptoms of thyroid nodules in women. At the same time, once the formation of iodides is impaired, it will inevitably affect the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thereby inducing adverse symptoms of thyroid enlargement.
