What are the symptoms of thyroid nodules?
Thyroid nodules are formed due to the proliferation of thyroid tissue into masses, and clinically, these nodules are categorized as either benign or malignant, and as cystic or solid. Generally, cystic nodules are benign. However, a portion of solid nodules are malignant. Therefore, in the early stages, a patient with thyroid nodules might not exhibit any symptoms because the nodules are relatively small. As the thyroid nodules progressively enlarge, for instance, when they grow larger than two or three centimeters, the patient may start feeling discomfort in the neck. Some patients with nodules that grow inward can experience compression of the trachea, leading to difficulties in swallowing and breathing obstruction. Thus, when feeling discomfort in the neck, it is crucial to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to confirm whether thyroid nodules are present.
Where does diabetes cause weight loss first?
Diabetes is a disease caused by elevated blood sugar levels, leading to metabolic disorders of proteins and fats within the body. Early-stage diabetes patients sometimes show no symptoms, while others may experience symptoms such as thirst, frequent drinking, frequent urination, increased appetite, and weight loss. This weight loss manifests as a general decrease in body weight; depending on individual constitution, some may lose 5 kilograms in a month, others may lose 10 kilograms, and in severe cases, some may lose up to 20 kilograms. This is a uniform weight decrease across the whole body, not just slimming of the arms or exclusively losing weight in other specific parts of the body, or just the face. Therefore, in addition to weight loss, patients may also suffer from fatigue, hunger, and dizziness. It is crucial to promptly test their blood sugar levels, diagnose diabetes as early as possible, and prevent the occurrence of chronic complications.
