Скачать или смотреть Thyroid Cancer Myths Busted: What’s the Truth? | Dr Vignesh Ent

A fast, patient-friendly myth-buster on thyroid disease and thyroid cancer. Dr Vignesh clarifies:
• A thyroid nodule/tumor ≠ cancer—many are benign and need proper evaluation (thyroid function test + ultrasound + doctor review).

• Most thyroid cancers have an excellent cure rate; only a rare subtype has a poor prognosis.

• Not only women—men and even children can have thyroid issues (e.g., congenital hypothyroidism).

• In pregnancy with hypothyroidism, taking thyroid hormone as prescribed is safe and essential for early brain development.

• Don’t self-adjust/stop thyroid tablets just because you “feel fine”; always follow tests and medical advice.

• Routine iodine supplements aren’t needed for most; iodized salt/dairy/eggs usually suffice. Cooked cruciferous veggies are fine.

• With proper treatment, many with hypothyroidism can conceive and have healthy pregnancies.
