Uncover the 5 major causes of thyroid cysts

In daily life, we see and understand that thyroid cysts are all "big necks", and it is unanimously believed that they are caused by "iodine deficiency". Iodine deficiency can indeed cause thyroid cysts. In addition to this reason, what other reasons are the culprits that cause thyroid cysts?

1. Infection

Diseases that may cause thyroid problems, such as bacterial or viral, may cause thyroid diseases. Thyroid enlargement is a common disease, so it is necessary to prevent some infections.

2. Drugs

Therefore, do not take medicines randomly for thyroid cysts. Insufficient immunity can easily lead to the occurrence of thyroid cysts, such as toxic diffuse goiter and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

3. Congenital factors

It may be due to a congenital deficiency of certain enzymes, resulting in disorders in thyroid iodine uptake, the combination of iodine and tyrosine, the coupling of iodinated amino acids, deiodination and iodine recycling, etc., which affects thyroid hormone, increases TSH secretion, and stimulates thyroid hyperplasia.

4. Environmental pollution

Sometimes thyroid cysts are closely related to environmental factors, such as when people's drinking water is polluted. Such factors will lead to the occurrence of some diseases. For example, when some wastewater and waste pollute the drinking water source, it can also cause thyroid enlargement.

5. Iodine reduction

The concentration of thyroid hormone in the blood is therefore reduced, and through the neuro-humoral regulation pathway, the anterior pituitary gland secretes a large amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone, which promotes thyroid enlargement. This enlargement is actually a compensatory enlargement of the thyroid gland and a phenomenon of thyroid insufficiency.
