Chapter 288 Go Get Checked First

If she hadn't been so determined, Chu Sisi would have given up long ago, and she was far from the so-called detective mind that Liu Tiantian boasted about - sometimes a psychosomatic doctor needs some detective mind.

She didn't have the so-called sudden inspiration of Liu Dandan, Chu Sisi was just clumsy.

She felt that she was just clumsy, but she could never give up.

Who said that you have to be very smart to become a psychosomatic doctor? Dad is also a very simple and clumsy person, and even has no emotional intelligence at all, otherwise why would Mom think he was boring and divorce him and remarry Uncle Chen?

Clumsiness can also become the person you want to be, this theory is correct.

"You can see that I blame myself? Then call the patients quickly and ask them to come to the hospital once." Mu Chun said as he walked to the computer and finally turned it on.

Liu Tiantian noticed that Mu Chun's aura had changed, from carelessness to concentration, and thought it might not be appropriate to stay any longer, so he tiptoed away.

"No need to call." As soon as she walked to the door, Liu Tiantian saw a mother with a middle school-aged child walking towards the outpatient department of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine in the morning sunlight.

"Ah? Are you here already?" Mu Chun sat on the chair, thanked Liu Tiantian and stopped talking.

————————

"The report is out." Mu Chun said.

"Who has a problem?" Jiang Tao asked anxiously.

With gray hair tied into a ponytail, Jiang Tao didn't look old, but had a special sense of art, mainly because of her young eyes, unlike many mothers of this age who worked hard for their children's studies and gradually lost their clarity and confidence.

"Your reports are all good, but although it is definitely a good thing that your thyroid function is normal, if you are worried about whether the nodules will change, you should go to the endocrinology department or the surgery department to make an appointment and get a B-ultrasound order for examination.

In recent years, thyroid diseases have been on the rise, which cannot be ignored."

"Let's not talk about me first, where is my daughter?" Jiang Tao said, holding his daughter Liu Mo's hand.

Liu Mo didn't look as happy as before, as if she was worried. Mu Chun didn't give her any more wafers, but explained to the two that the previous diagnosis of [stress eating] might not be complete.

As he spoke, Mu Chun was looking for paper. After searching for a long time, Liu Mo took out a draft book from his schoolbag and handed it to Mu Chun.

"Ah, thank you so much, I often can't find paper."

Jiang Tao looked at Mu Chun and thought that this doctor seemed a little funny.

There was a lot of paper in the printer! Why didn't he take it directly from the printer, but squatted under the table to look for it.

Mu Chun started to draw on the draft book. Two minutes later, he put the draft book in front of Jiang Tao and Liu Mo.

Mu Chun, with a serious face, asked seriously: "Can you ~~~~~ understand it?"

The picture shows a human body represented by several simple graphics. The circle at the top should be the head, and the horizontal rectangle below should be the upper part of the body, that is, the trunk. The part connecting the rectangle and the circle is a vertical slender rectangular strip, which also has a thinner circular tube and a butterfly-shaped structure painted with a water pen.

"This butterfly is the thyroid gland." Mu Chun explained.

Jiang Tao and Liu Mo nodded.

"The thyroid gland is a small gland, about 5 cm wide, located in the superficial part of the skin just below the Adam's apple in the neck. This is the place where I painted the color. The gland is divided into two lobes, connected by the middle isthmus, and looks like a butterfly.

Under normal circumstances, the thyroid gland cannot be seen and is almost impossible to touch, but if the thyroid gland enlarges, it is what we often call goiter, and the doctor can easily touch it. A clearly protruding mass can appear below or on both sides of the Adam's apple.

It's right here." Mu Chun gestured with his hand below his Adam's apple.

"The thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland regulates the speed of chemical reactions in the body, which is often called metabolic rate. By stimulating almost every tissue in the body to produce protein and increasing the oxygen consumption of cells, it is related to heart rate, respiratory rate, calorie burning rate, skin care, growth, heat production, fertility and digestion. It can be said that it affects every aspect of a person.

Liu Mo's previous hyperphagia now has a clearer reference indicator. At present, Liu Mo's TSH level has decreased. Referring to the T3 and T4 levels, considering the previous hyperphagia, reduced sleep time at night and anxiety in class, it may be related to hyperthyroidism."

Mu Chun took a sip of coffee after speaking, and felt a little cold, so he added some hot water again.

Jiang Tao looked a little gloomy. For her, although the thyroid problem has always been a nodule less than one centimeter, there are indeed friends around her who are deeply troubled by thyroid disease at a young age, and thyroid disease is very difficult to treat. It seems that there is no big impact, but as the doctor said, the thyroid may be related to every aspect of a person's body.

A while ago, a male colleague in the research institute was found to have thyroid nodules during a physical examination. He was eventually diagnosed with thyroid cancer through a tissue biopsy. He quickly underwent surgery and radioactive iodine treatment. He has now returned to work, but everyone still treats him as someone who has had cancer. Colleagues who don’t know about it will forget about it, but colleagues who know about it will always think that this person has just had cancer surgery.

Although it is a type of cancer with a very low malignancy, it is still a time when people are afraid of cancer, and thyroid problems will eventually become cancer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao's mood became heavier.

"Don't worry too much, but you should still do a thyroid ultrasound scan to further confirm whether there are nodules or swellings."

After Mu Chun said this, Jiang Tao hurriedly asked, "It shouldn't be, will such a young child have thyroid problems?"

"Yes, the incidence of thyroid dysfunction is increasing every year, and the age is not limited to the middle-aged and elderly population, let alone married women with children."

After Mu Chun explained, the examination form was printed.

Mu Chun stamped it, signed it, and handed it to Jiang Tao. At the same time, he looked at Liu Mo and asked, "Are you still worried about something?"

Liu Mo shook his head. It sounded like hyperthyroidism was a physical problem. It seemed that his problem was different from Wu Le's. Wu Le's problem was more like an emotional problem, while his seemed to be a physical problem.

Just like the last time I went to the emergency room and had intestinal blockage, I was cured by taking penicillin. This hyperthyroidism problem should also be cured by taking some medicine.
