What is it about thyroid cancer that causes a cold back

Thyroid cancer causes cold back, which may be caused by metastasis of thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, iodine deficiency, etc. Patients are advised to go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Thyroid cancer metastasis: If thyroid cancer metastasizes distantly, it may metastasize to the lungs or bones, thus compressing local nerves and causing a cold back. At this time, surgical resection treatment is required in time, and adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy is required.

2. Hypothyroidism: If you have thyroid cancer and are not detected and treated in time, it may lead to aggravation of the disease, so that the body's thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, thus causing hypothyroidism.Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, causes the body's metabolism to slow down, resulting in a cold back. At this time, you can take drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets under the guidance of a doctor for treatment;

3. Hyperthyroidism: If you have thyroid cancer accompanied by hyperthyroidism, it will cause the metabolism to increase due to the increase in thyroid hormone levels in the body, and then the symptoms of cold back. At this time, you can take drugs such as propylthiouracil tablets according to the doctor's instructions for treatment;

4. Iodine deficiency: If the patient is in a state of iodine deficiency for a long time during the illness, it may lead to insufficient iodine intake in the body, which will affect the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone in the body, and will also lead to cold back.At this time, you can eat some iodine-containing foods appropriately, such as kelp, seaweed, etc.

The above symptoms may also occur if the patient has anemia or other conditions. Patients are advised to take a break and avoid staying up late and overexertion. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
