In our daily lives, we often have friends who suffer from thyroid tumors, and the patients with this disease are mainly female. There are many reasons that can cause this disease, including certain genetic factors and close relationships with our living environment. Next, the editor will share with you: What causes thyroid tumors?
What causes thyroid tumors?
1. Emotional disorders: sadness, contemplation, depression, and anger can cause liver depression and qi stagnation, with liver fire reaching its peak and liver wood filling the soil. This can lead to poor spleen function and stagnant phlegm and dampness in the body; Or liver stagnation turns into fire, refining and burning the body's fluids into phlegm. Turbidity and phlegm dampness condense in the neck; Liver stagnation and qi stagnation, blood meridian fire harmonizing, qi stagnation and blood stasis, meridian obstruction, and upper knot; Gall tumors form on the neck.
2. Not suitable for residence: Long term residence in mountainous and plateau areas, with poor water quality, can lead to abnormal operation of the air system over time, resulting in stagnant water and stagnant phlegm, leading to the formation of galls.
3. Zhixu Xie Ju: Zhiqi is weak, and evil toxins invade through deficiency, causing blockages in meridians and blood stasis, leading to the formation of galls in the front of the neck; Innate deficiencies, weak physical constitution, weakened body due to the suppression of evil poison and evil fire, resulting in a neck knot.
What is the pathogenesis of thyroid tumors?
The pathogenesis of thyroid malignant tumors is not yet clear, but its related factors include many aspects, mainly including the following categories:
1. Cancer genes and growth factors: Modern research has shown that the occurrence of tumors in many animals and humans is related to overexpression, mutation, or deletion of oncogene sequences.
2. Ionizing radiation: It has been identified that external radiation from the head and neck is an important carcinogenic factor for the thyroid gland.
3. Genetic factors: Some medullary thyroid cancers are autosomal dominant genetic diseases; In some thyroid cancer patients, family history is often consulted
4. Iodine deficiency: As early as the early 20th century, some people proposed the idea that iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid tumors
5. Estrogen: Recent studies suggest that estrogen can affect thyroid growth mainly by promoting the release of TSH from the pituitary gland, as TSH levels also increase when estrogen levels in the plasma rise. It is not yet clear whether estrogen directly affects the thyroid gland.
In summary, with the relevant knowledge of the causes of thyroid tumors, we should avoid the occurrence of the above factors in our daily lives, develop a calm attitude, not be pessimistic or disappointed, and smile more every day, which is very beneficial to our health.
