Why is Lumpy getting younger?


In recent years, the incidence of thyroid glands has increased among young people, a phenomenon that has given rise to widespread concern. The reasons for the “juvenile” section are many, and the following are some of the main factors that may lead to this phenomenon.Environmental factorsEnvironmental pollution: With industrialization and urbanization, the problem of environmental pollution is growing. Harmful substances in air, water and soil, such as heavy metals and organic pollutants, may enter the human body through the food chain, affecting thyroid function and increasing the risk of knot formation.Radiation exposure: Radiation is a known risk factor for thyroid glands and thyroid cancer. In modern societies, the increased exposure of young people to medical radiation (e.g. X-rays, CT scans) and environmental radiation (e.g. nuclear accident, electromagnetic radiation) may increase the incidence of thyroid glands.Lifestyle factorsUnhealthful eating habits: Modern young people tend to suffer from irregular diets, high-fat sugar diets, and inadequate iodine intake due to work stress and increased rhythm of life. Inadequate or over-ingestion of iodine may affect thyroid health.Lack of exercise: a long-suspensive and unmoveable lifestyle can lead to physical metabolic disorders and may affect the balance of thyroid hormones, thus increasing the risk of nostrils.Inadequate sleep: Long sleep can affect the proper functioning of the endocrine system and the thyroid as one of the endocrine glands may be affected.Psychological factorsStress and anxiety: The modern world is highly competitive, young people face high work and life stress, and chronic stress and anxiety can lead to hormonal imbalance and increase the risk of thyroid glands.Medical factorsImproved diagnostic techniques: With advances in medical technology, especially ultrasound, the rate of detection of thyroid glands has increased significantly, and even small, non-symptomatic knots can be detected in time.Overdiagnosis: Due to excessive attention to thyroid glands, small, non-symptomatic nodes are also included in the treatment, which partly leads to the illusion of “juvenile” nodes.Genetic and genetic factorsGenetic orientation: Family genetic history is an important risk factor for thyroid glands. If there is a history of thyroid disease in the family, the risk of thyroid glands increases for young people.Genetic mutations: Studies have found that some genetic mutations may be associated with the formation of thyroid glands. These genetic mutations may be present among young people.Other factorsObesity: Obesity is associated with various endocrine diseases, including thyroid glands. The rise in obesity among young people may also be a cause of “juvenileization” at the end.Hormonal substitution therapy and contraceptive use: Some young women may use hormonal substitution therapy or oral contraception for menstruation or other reasons, which may affect thyroid function.ConclusionsThyroids are increasingly common among young people for a variety of reasons, including environmental, lifestyle, psychological, medical and other factors. In order to prevent thyroid glands, young people should take the following measures:Improvement of living habits: maintenance of healthy eating habits, adequate iodine intake, increased physical exercise and adequate sleep.Reducing environmental exposure: Avoiding exposure to harmful chemical substances and radiation as much as possible.Managing stress: Managing and mitigating stress through meditation, yoga, counselling, etc.Periodic medical examinations: Early detection and treatment of thyroid diseases through periodic medical examinations, especially thyroid ultrasound.Knowledge of family history: If there is a family history of thyroid disease, greater attention should be paid to thyroid health and, if necessary, professional counselling.Through the above measures, the risk of thyroid glands can be reduced to some extent and thyroid health can be protected.
