ALL THE Blessings, CORRECT TREATMENT AND HEALTH!!!

They call a set of physiological changes in the thyroid gland, consisting of neoplasms that are detected by palpation or examination by imaging methods. Such neoplasms have various morphological characteristics, as a result of which they are classified:

nodular colloid goiter- non-tumor disease of the thyroid gland, developing against the background of chronic iodine deficiency in the body;
follicular adenoma- a benign neoplasm that occurs in the structure of the thyroid gland, in the vast majority of cases has a round shape and pronounced fibrous capsule, which distinguishes between healthy and tumor tissues;
hypertrophic form of AIT with the formation of false nodes what develops in the background autoimmune thyroiditis;
solitary cyst- nodular formation of the thyroid gland with a cavity filled with liquid contents;
thyroid cancer - malignant tumor, developing from thyroid cells.

Depending on the number of focal formations and their relationships with surrounding tissues, the following also differ:

solitary node- the only encapsulated formation in the thyroid gland;
multinodular goiter- multiple encapsulated nodular formations in the thyroid gland, not fused together;
conglomerate nodular goiter- several encapsulated formations in the thyroid gland, welded together and forming a conglomerate;
diffuse nodular (mixed) goiter- nodes (nodule) against the background of diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland.

Nodular goiter can be classified according to the following degrees:

degree 0- no goiter (the volume of each lobe of the gland does not exceed the size distal phalanx thumb hands of the subject);
grade I- the goiter can be palpated, but it is not visible in the normal position of the neck. This category of goiter includes nodular formations that do not lead to an enlargement of the thyroid gland;
grade II- the goiter is clearly visible in the normal position of the neck.

Symptoms of nodular goiter are often absent, or patients complain of varying severity of compression syndrome when the trachea and esophagus are compressed in cases where nodular goiter is located behind the sternum, and with nodes of significant size, breathing disorders, swallowing, and the development of paresis of the vocal cords are observed. Raising your arms above your head often results in cyanosis, swelling of the face, dizziness, and sometimes fainting. Spontaneous development pain syndrome in the thyroid gland area is usually associated with hemorrhage into the nodule.

Cause of nodular goiter usually lies in iodine deficiency. Thyroid cyst - cavity formation in the gland tissue filled with cystic fluid. False and true cysts are distinguished. A true cyst differs from a false one by the presence of a lining of follicular epithelium. The causes of thyroid cysts may include minor hemorrhages, degeneration of colloid nodes, and hyperplasia of single follicles. The origin of autoimmune thyroiditis, in the hypertrophic form of which the formation of false nodes is possible, is usually explained by hereditary factors that occur under the adverse influence of the external environment.

Under conditions of iodine deficiency, the thyroid gland is exposed to a complex of stimulating factors, as a result of which a sufficient amount of thyroid hormones is produced with a deficiency of the main substrate for their synthesis. As a result, in the most predisposed individuals, the thyroid gland enlarges and at the first stage a diffuse euthyroid goiter is formed. Individual cells of the gland turn out to be more sensitive to these stimulating influences, due to which they experience preferential growth. So at the second stage, nodular and multinodular euthyroid goiter is formed. Thyroid tumors (benign and oncological) do not belong to the stages of a single process; their occurrence may be associated with the presence of cells with high growth potential, which form locally dominant foci. Endogenous growth factors (TSH, IGF-1), mutations of ras oncogenes (H-ras, K-ras, N-ras), PTC/RET oncogene are involved in the development of thyroid tumors.

When collecting anamnesis, the endocrinologist certainly clarifies the following information: region of residence (for the possibility of iodine deficiency), the presence of thyroid diseases in relatives (for the possibility of genetic predisposition, especially oncology), the duration of the goiter’s existence and the dynamics of its growth, previous exposure ionizing radiation. Attention is drawn to changes in voice, discomfort when eating and drinking, and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis.

Diagnosis of nodular goiter begins with examining the patient's neck, where changes may not be observed, however, a nodular formation in the thyroid gland can be visible with the head tilted back. Upon palpation, it is not always possible to distinguish diffuse, nodular or multinodular goiter, however, it is possible to characterize the consistency of the thyroid gland, its size, mobility when swallowing, and pain.

When a single nodular formation or several nodes are identified, their pain, consistency, displacement in relation to surrounding tissues, and the spread of the goiter beyond the sternum are assessed. With large nodes (more than 5 cm in diameter), deformation of the neck may occur; swelling of the jugular veins rarely occurs, only with very large nodes. Signs of compression in the case of a large retrosternal goiter usually appear when raising the arms above the head, and facial hyperemia, dizziness or fainting develop. It is necessary to palpate the cervical lymph nodes, tracheal displacement is assessed. Within laboratory diagnostics The concentration of TSH in the blood, the level of calcitonin, and histochemical markers are assessed. The indication for ultrasound is the suspicion of any pathology of the gland, which appears on the basis of patient complaints, palpation results and/or laboratory research. Indications for scintigraphy include a decrease in the concentration of TSH in the blood, suspicion of functional autonomy of the gland, retrosternal spread of goiter, detection of ectopic gland tissue and metastases of well-differentiated thyroid cancer.

To diagnose compensated functional autonomy of the thyroid gland, suppressive scintigraphy is used (against the background of suppression of TSH secretion by thyroid hormone preparations). Levothyroxine is prescribed at a dose of 200 mcg/day for 10 days. If 10 minutes after administration of the radiopharmaceutical, its uptake exceeds 3%, this indicates the functional autonomy of the gland and the risk of developing thyrotoxicosis. Another diagnostic method for nodular goiter is FNA - a method of direct morphological (cytological) diagnosis, which can be used to conduct a differential study of diseases manifested by nodular goiter and exclude malignant pathology.

Indications for use:

palpable nodular formations in the thyroid gland of any size or detected on ultrasound with a diameter of 1 cm or more;

suspicion of oncology according to ultrasound data for formations of any size (if it is technically possible to perform a puncture under ultrasound guidance);

clinically significant increase (more than 5 mm during dynamic observation) of a previously identified nodular formation.

X-ray examination chest with contrasting of the esophagus is indicated if the patient has a nodular (multi-nodular) goiter of large size and/or accompanied by symptoms of compression of the trachea and esophagus. MRI and CT scans of the neck organs are used in cases of substernal goiter and common forms of thyroid cancer.

How to treat nodular goiter?

Treatment of nodular goiter determined by its variety.

For colloidal proliferating goiter, observation and therapy with iodine preparations are indicated. surgery, radiation therapy with a radioactive isotope of iodine. For autoimmune thyroiditis - observation and replacement therapy. For thyroid cancer - thyroidectomy in combination with radiation therapy radioiodine and suppressive therapy with levothyroxine. For follicular adenoma - surgical treatment with urgent histological examination.

Within treatment of nodular goiter preference is often given dynamic observation, tactics for nodular (multi-nodular) colloidal proliferating goiter of small size without dysfunction of the thyroid gland. Observation includes an annual assessment of organ function to determine the concentration of TSH in the blood and an assessment of the size of nodules based on ultrasound results.

If there is no increase in the size of nodules, repeat TAB is not indicated. Gradual slow growth, as a rule, is noted in most cases of colloidal proliferating goiter, and this does not indicate the malignancy of the nodular formation.

Suppressive therapy indicated for thyroid hormone preparations in patients who have undergone thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. The goal is to reduce TSH values to values less than 0.5 IU/l (levothyroxine dose - 2-4 mcg/(kg x day)). Iodine therapy does not have convincing effectiveness in nodular goiter syndrome, but potassium iodide is effective in diffuse colloid goiter.

Indications for surgical treatment with nodular goiter there are signs of compression of surrounding organs and/or cosmetic defect, as well as decompensated functional autonomy of the thyroid gland (toxic goiter) or a high risk of its decompensation.

Radiation therapy or radioiodine therapy prescribed in the same cases as surgical intervention. A one-time administration of an adequate dose of a radioactive isotope of iodine leads to a reduction in goiter by 30-80% of its original volume. Therapy with a radioactive isotope of iodine is considered the method of choice for compensated and decompensated functional autonomy of the thyroid gland.

What diseases can it be associated with?

Thyroid adenoma
Thyroid cyst

Treatment of nodular goiter at home

Treatment of nodular goiter at home consists of correcting your diet - you need to saturate the menu with certain products. To eliminate iodine deficiency (in many cases it is the cause of goiter), it is recommended to consume iodized salt and foods containing iodine - seafood, seaweed, eggs, kiwi, feijoa, Rye bread, chokeberry etc. The diet should contain a sufficient amount of foods containing alimentary fiber- porridge, grain bread, beans, beets, pumpkin, fruits. It is necessary to limit the consumption of so-called goitrogenic foods - cabbage, turnips, rutabaga, and some varieties of corn. These products interfere with the absorption of iodine and somewhat inhibit the function of the thyroid gland.

Living in a region that is not characterized by iodine deficiency can also have a positive effect on health - these can be sea coasts And sanatorium treatment Here. On the recommendation of your doctor, you can take courses of dietary supplements at home that promise a positive effect on the thyroid gland.

However, it is necessary to understand that the listed measures themselves can be a preventive measure for nodular goiter, but cannot completely cure the resulting disease. therefore it is necessary to take a course specific treatment under the supervision of a specialized specialist, an endocrinologist.

What drugs are used to treat nodular goiter?

Treatment of nodular goiter with traditional methods

Treatment of nodular goiter folk methods can be concomitant with the main traditional methods, however, if used exclusively they rarely show positive results.

Decoctions of mistletoe, Japanese sophora, white cinquefoil, Caucasian hellebore, madder, cocklebur, licorice, evasive peony, soapwort, and marsh cinquefoil can be used.

Meet traditional methods treatment of nodular goiter with iodine solution, lubricated with it skin surfaces and even taken internally. However, such recommendations must be treated with caution, since pharmaceutical iodine solutions are not intended for oral use, and completely different forms of this chemical element are used in the treatment of the thyroid gland.

Treatment of nodular goiter during pregnancy

The presence of a nodular goiter in a patient, for which she is already receiving therapy, is usually not a contraindication for planning pregnancy, but there are exceptions. Principles treatment of nodular goiter during pregnancy, with the exception of a number of features, do not differ significantly from the standard approaches used by endocrinologists.

Advantage is given to three treatment options: monotherapy with iodine preparations, monotherapy with L-thyroxine preparations, combination therapy with iodine and L-thyroxine preparations. The first treatment option is recognized as the most optimal, because in the majority of cases in young women, monotherapy with iodine preparations often achieves a sufficient therapeutic effect. In addition, iodine monotherapy simultaneously solves the second problem, namely, it provides individual iodine prophylaxis. The second place in frequency of use is occupied by combination therapy with iodine and L-thyroxine. It is appropriate when a woman received such therapy before pregnancy and it is not recommended to transfer her to monotherapy with iodine preparations. With normal thyroid function and a slight increase in it, the additional prescription of suppressive therapy with L-thyroxine for the first time during pregnancy is not considered appropriate by all specialists, although it is safe for both the mother and the fetus, and therefore is used sometimes.

Iodine preparations are prescribed with caution for autoimmune thyroiditis; they cannot be used for tuberculosis, hemorrhagic diathesis, dermatitis herpetiformis Dühring and others are enough rare diseases. They are prescribed with caution for kidney diseases, chronic pyoderma, and urticaria.

When determining a treatment strategy, first of all, the doctor proceeds from the fact that during pregnancy there is no need to achieve a radical regression of the goiter, because within 9 months even outside pregnancy it is difficult to achieve significant changes.

Which doctors should you contact if you have a nodular goiter?

Treatment of other diseases starting with the letter - y

A goiter of the thyroid gland is a pathological increase in its size that does not arise as a result of independent disease, and as a consequence of other pathologies in the body, accompanied by such a symptom. In some cases, the size of the thyroid gland increases so much that it begins to compress nearby organs and deform the neck. How to treat goiter to avoid negative consequences, let's take a closer look.

Medicines

The symptoms of nodular goiter can only be eliminated complex therapy. Which particular technique will be most effective for a particular person is determined taking into account the source of the pathology, the type of node and the volume of enlargement. The patient’s age and concomitant diseases occurring in the body during this period are also taken into account.

The doctor may prescribe one of two treatment methods: medication or surgery. At the initial stage of goiter development, you can limit yourself to a conservative technique, but in advanced cases, surgery is the only way out. In most cases, it is medications that help get rid of the disease, minimizing the risk of needing surgical intervention.

Antithyroid drugs

In the treatment of goiter, antithyroid drugs or, in other words, thionamides (thyreostatics) are often used, the main effect of which is normalization increased activity thyroid gland. Such drugs help block the ability of this organ to produce thyroid hormones.

As a rule, one of the two most common is prescribed effective drugs– Thiamazole or Propylthiouracil. IN European country x use another remedy with trade name Carbimazole. In Russia, unfortunately, this drug is not popular.

Thiamazole, thanks to the active components included in its composition, blocks the use of iodine by the thyroid gland to produce the above hormones. This drug is prescribed in a daily dosage of 1 tablet and, as a rule, this is enough to normalize the condition. The total duration of treatment is determined by the doctor, based on the characteristics of the pathology.

The drug Thiamazol has a fast-acting effect

Propylthiouracil has the same effect as Thiamazole. Despite its high efficiency, its effect is observed over a short period of time, which becomes the reason for taking tablets twice or even three times a day.

Goiter can be cured with such drugs only by maintaining a constant level of their active components in the blood. This can be achieved by taking the medicine at the same time interval. If several tablets per day are required, they can be taken, for example, every 5–6 hours.

Such drugs do not block those hormones that were already produced by the body before using the drug. In other words, even despite taking the pills, the gland will produce previously formed hormones, thereby contributing to the continued occurrence of goiter symptoms. Antithyroid drugs begin to work after approximately 6-8 weeks from the start of use.

Thyroid drugs

Similar medications, as a rule, is prescribed as a replacement treatment for hypothyroidism. They can be used as suppressants in the development of diffuse non-toxic goiter, as well as to prevent recurrence of goiter after partial resection of the gland.

Today, the most popular drugs from this group are Levothyroxine, Triiodothyronine and combined agents based on thyroid hormones. First medicine(Levothyroxine) is prescribed more often than others.

Many people with thyroid goiter who are elderly have increased sensitivity to the effects of thyroid hormones contained in the medications they take. It is for this reason that their risk of negative consequences from the heart and blood vessels often increases, causing the development of arrhythmia and myocardial infarction. The dosage of hormones for older people is prescribed in a reduced volume, starting with 25 mcg and increasing over time to full maintenance.

Pregnant women are immediately prescribed the maximum dosage of thyroid drugs

Experts recommend careful use of thyroid hormone-based products for patients with goiter who also suffer from coronary disease, increased blood pressure or poor functioning of the kidneys and liver. In such cases, systematic monitoring is required general condition human, especially the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.

Pregnant women need an increased supply of thyroid hormones to the body, so they are prescribed the maximum dosage of the medication they take. After delivery, the daily volume of the drug is reduced. For other people, the dosage of the medicine is 1 tablet per day before meals.

Combination products containing iodine

Such drugs help increase the concentration of iodine in the body, which is necessary for the iodization of tyrosine in the iron. The drugs slow down the production of thyroid hormones and thereby help stop the growth of goiter.

One of these can be called Potassium iodide, produced in the form of tablets. When a goiter develops, the doctor prescribes medication in a daily dosage of 200–500 mcg. It is recommended to take tablets after or during meals. The total duration of therapy is determined by the attending physician, but, as a rule, this is treatment in courses with a break of 10 days for from 2 weeks to 2 to 3 years.

Potassium iodide can also be taken during pregnancy, but only under the close supervision of the treating specialist, because the main substance included in the drug can penetrate through the placenta into the fetus. For pregnant women, the daily dosage of the drug should not exceed 250 mcg. Cadium iodide is not prescribed during pregnancy if the woman suffers from pulmonary tuberculosis, hemorrhagic diathesis, or diffuse toxic goiter. The only contraindication for taking potassium iodide is individual intolerance to iodine-containing drugs.

Another, no less effective, remedy for the treatment of goiter is Iodtirox, which contains inorganic iodine and levothyroxine. The medicine must be taken 30 minutes before the morning meal in the amount of half a tablet. After several weeks, provided the drug is well tolerated, the dosage can be increased. The total duration of therapy is up to 3 months, but in some cases the medication may be prescribed for life.

Radioiodine therapy

This method of therapy in many European countries is considered the leading one among all others. possible ways getting rid of goiter. Despite this high prevalence, the method is low in effectiveness and helps cure the disease in only 40% of patients. If radioiodine therapy does not bring the desired recovery, resort to radical treatment, that is, to the operation.

Among the indications for such therapy are the development of diffuse toxic goiter, which has one of the following forms:

average or severe course pathologies and low effectiveness of drug therapy;
severe course of the pathology, which led to significant changes in the activity of the hematopoietic system;
relapse of pathology after surgical intervention on the thyroid gland;
arisen mental disorders as a consequence of the development of goiter, as well as progressive ophthalmopathy, which is not relieved by medications.

Not prescribed similar treatment nodular goiter in persons under the age of 40, those who suffer mild form diseases, during pregnancy and lactation, pathologies of the kidneys, liver, with the development of stomach and duodenal ulcers.

Optimal dosage for iron intake radioactive iodine– 30–40 gr. A certain volume of iodine is administered in several doses at intervals of 2–3 days. The first positive changes in the activity of the thyroid gland can be observed several weeks after the body receives radioactive iodine. The maximum severity of the effect occurs after 8–12 months.

Radioiodine therapy is the last step in the treatment of goiter, after the lack of effectiveness of which surgery is resorted to.

Folk remedies

Goiter can also be treated at home using folk remedies. For example, you can use the following components in preparation medicinal tinctures and compresses:

walnut partitions (raw materials in the volume of a third of a liter jar are filled with vodka to the top and left to infuse for 14 days; ready-made product take 1 tbsp orally. l. 3 times a day on an empty stomach, with a drink a small amount water);
celandine (the flowers are crushed, a 1-liter jar is half-filled with them, filled to the brim with vodka and left to infuse for several weeks; strain the finished product and take 2 drops orally daily, increasing the dosage by 2 drops every day, reaching 16 drops; treatment is carried out for a month, after taking a break for 10 days);
cinquefoil root (the roots are crushed, a half-liter jar is filled with them and filled to the brim with vodka, then left to infuse for 3 weeks; the finished product is taken orally, 25 drops 3 times a day, washed down with water);
clay (a compress is prepared from this component on the sore area, diluted with water until a creamy state is obtained, then placed on a cloth and, accordingly, in place over the development of the goiter; the compress is kept for 2 hours);
horsetail (take crushed and dried raw materials, fill a cotton bag with it, then lower it into hot water; Having pulled it out, cool the compress a little and apply it to the sore area for 2 hours);
oak bark, walnut shells (the raw materials are boiled for 20 minutes in a ratio of 3 tablespoons of raw materials per 0.5 liquid; the finished product is cooled, filtered, gauze is moistened in it and applied to the diseased area for several hours).

Surgery

It is difficult to say for sure whether it is possible to do without surgery in a particular case. From absolute readings to conduct surgical intervention can be distinguished:

if there is individual intolerance to thyreostatic drugs;
if goiter develops at stage 4 and above;
if thyreostatics cause side symptoms in the form of a decrease in the volume of leukocytes in the blood serum;
if it develops atrial fibrillation in combination with heart failure;
if the goiter is located in the retrosternal space;
age up to 15 years, especially if the pathology occurs in girls (in this case, thyreostatic drugs can cause suppression of reproductive function).

Surgical intervention performed in the presence of goiter is called “thyroidectomy”.

During surgery, the doctor may remove a lobe of the thyroid gland, part of it, or the isthmus. Less commonly, removal of the entire organ is required. Despite the high effectiveness of this therapy technique, it can cause dangerous consequences, which are expressed in the following:

development of paresis laryngeal nerve due to its damage at the time of surgery;
development of hypoparathyroidism due to partial resection of the parathyroid glands;
development of thyrotoxic crisis.

To avoid such complications, plasmapheresis and radioiodine therapy, medications based on hormones and beta blockers are prescribed in the postoperative period.

The doctor will determine which method will be most effective. Relying only on folk remedies, as well as avoiding going to a specialist, is strictly prohibited, otherwise irreversible consequences cannot be avoided.
