Thyroid Cysts
What is Thyroid Cysts
In homeopathy, thyroid cysts are considered a result of stagnant or suppressed vital force in the thyroid, often due to chronic hormonal imbalance, stress, or past glandular inflammation.
Homeopathy aims to restore the body’s self-regulating power, reduce fluid accumulation, and prevent further cyst formation naturally. Unlike surgery or hormone therapy, the homeopathic approach treats the root cause, not just the swelling.
A thyroid cyst is a fluid-filled sac in the thyroid gland.
It may be small and asymptomatic or large enough to cause visible swelling in the neck.
Sometimes, cysts may contain both fluid and solid components (mixed nodule).
कारण
- Previous thyroid inflammation (thyroiditis) causing fluid accumulation.
- Hormonal imbalances, especially long-standing TSH elevation.
- Genetic predisposition to thyroid nodules or cysts.
- Iodine deficiency in diet.
- Trauma or injury to the neck.
- Stress and suppressed emotions, affecting glandular function.
लक्षण
Many thyroid cysts do not produce symptoms. When symptoms occur, they include:
- Visible lump or swelling in front of the neck.
- Mild pressure or fullness in throat.
- Difficulty swallowing (if cyst is large).
- Hoarseness or voice changes.
- Rarely, pain if inflammation occurs.
निदान
- Physical Exam: Soft, movable, cystic swelling.
- Ultrasound (USG): Determines cyst size and fluid content.
- Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): Extracts fluid to check for infection or abnormal cells.
- Thyroid Function Tests (T3, T4, TSH): Assess functional status of the gland.
