People with nodules in the body should try to eat less of the 4 kinds of 'hair objects'. Resisting not eating may help to dissolve the knots.

Nowadays, people's health awareness has been improved, and many people or units will undergo physical examinations. However, many people get the physical examination report and see that there are nodules in the above results, they are worried that they are found by cancer, and the whole person is frightened.

1. How far is it from cancer if a nodule is detected by physical examination?

Nodules are "pimples" formed by abnormal proliferation of cells in various organs in the human body, which can be detected by palpation or imaging examination .

Different nodules have different causes. Pulmonary nodules are related to smoking, tuberculosis, air pollution, lung tumors, and lung inflammation. Thyroid nodules are related to genetics, ionizing radiation, improper iodine intake, autoimmunity, and negative emotions. Breast nodules are related to factors such as bad mood and overwork.

Don't panic when you find a nodule, not all nodules will become cancerous . Generally, children, adults over 30 years old, and elderly people over 60 years old have a higher chance of malignant transformation of thyroid nodules. Pathological examination can be used to determine whether it will occur. Malignant.

CT report nodules with burrs, vascular bundles, lobulations, large number of nodules, and accompanied by symptoms such as cough, dysphagia, chest pain, dyspnea, etc. , may be malignant, and must be paid attention to.

2. Eat as little as possible 4 kinds of "hair products", which may help disperse knots

Once the nodule is detected by the physical examination, try to control the diet as much as possible, and eat less of the following hair products to avoid accelerating the growth of the nodule.

1. Seafood

Although seafood is highly nutritious, it is best for patients with nodules to eat less, so as not to cause recurrence of the disease and even promote the growth of nodules.

2. Foods high in estrogen

After women are diagnosed with breast nodules, it is best to eat less food with high estrogen, so as not to affect the secretion of estrogen in the body and aggravate the condition of the nodule.

3. High-fat foods

High fat content such as animal offal and fried foods will stimulate the stomach and accelerate the development of nodules. It is recommended that patients with nodules should eat less.

4. Foods high in salt

Chinese people generally consume too much salt. It is recommended to eat less pickled food such as pickled vegetables and salted fish. These foods are not only high in salt, but may also contain excessive nitrite. Eating too much may increase the risk of cancer.

3. During the physical examination, polyps and cysts were found. Is it serious?

When I get the medical report, I like to see the words with no abnormality, but when I see the words such as nodules, polyps, cysts, etc., the whole person is not well, does it mean that these things are found out? Seriously?

More than 90% of the nodules are benign. You can judge whether the thyroid nodules are likely to be malignant by checking the B-mode ultrasound of the neck. Combined with lung CT, you can judge whether the lung nodules are likely to be malignant or not. Look at the breast B-ultrasound. Look at the possibility of malignant transformation of breast nodules. If it is diagnosed as benign, only regular follow-up is required.

Such as intestinal polyps, gastric polyps, nasal polyps , etc. are more common, and most of them are benign, but they are usually directly surgically removed, followed by pathological analysis, and regular follow-up for early detection and early treatment. Cysts generally do not need to be treated, and pathological ovarian cysts are best surgically removed or punctured and drained in time.

Don't worry that you have cancer when you find nodules on the medical report. In fact, most nodules, polyps, and cysts are benign. After the nodule is diagnosed, it is necessary to eat less seafood, foods high in estrogen, high-salt foods, and high-fat foods. Whether it needs to be removed or not, regular follow-up should be done.
