A benign tumor of the thyroid gland often requires surgical treatment against the background of hormonal therapy and diet.

Thyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the thyroid gland. It is characterized by a slow growth rate, rounded shape and a pronounced capsule separating it from the healthy tissue of the thyroid gland. Thyroid adenoma is more common in women. 

In most cases, it is not accompanied by a dysfunction of the thyroid gland and is asymptomatic. When it reaches a large size, it can squeeze the surrounding tissue. Over time, it can degenerate into thyroid cancer.

In some cases, the adenoma of the thyroid gland is accompanied by an increase in the production of hormones, which is accompanied by the phenomena of thyrotoxicosis.

Initial symptoms of toxic adenoma:
• palpable nodule in the thyroid gland; • weight loss; • tachycardia ; • irritability; • feeling unwell in warmth and heat; • excessive sweating; • decreased performance, rapid fatigability during physical exertion.    
    
    
    
    
    
    

Symptoms of the further course of the disease:
• disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract; • hypertension ; • chronic hyperthermia (increased body temperature).    
    
    

Diagnostics of the thyroid adenoma

• endocrinologist consultation;
• examination and palpation;
• Ultrasound of the thyroid gland ;
• biopsy.

Surgical treatment against the background of hormonal therapy and diet.

Nota Bene! Patients with toxic thyroid adenoma are categorically contraindicated in the sun. 

The prognosis with timely treatment is favorable.
