A 48-year-old male, found himself facing a medical challenge that would test his resilience and the dedication. His diagnosis was thyroid mixed lobulated cystic with solid parts, a complex condition that not only affected his thyroid but also had a severe impact on his vocal cords, leaving him unable to speak.
一个48岁的男性发现自己面临了一项严峻的医疗挑战,这次挑战不仅考验了他的韧性,也考验了医护人员的奉献精神。他的诊断是甲状腺混合分叶囊性实质性结节,这是一种复杂的疾病,不仅影响了他的甲状腺,还严重影响了他的声带,使他无法言语。
The journey began with a visit to the doctor, where an ultrasound examination revealed an unexpected finding—a 1 cm inhomogeneous, lobulated mass in his left breast. This discovery added another layer of complexity to his medical situation. Thyroid nodules can be tricky to diagnose definitively; most may be benign, but others might be malignant. The symptoms alone are not enough to determine malignancy. The very rare thyroid nodule that is an aggressive thyroid cancer may present with a large thyroid mass, firm or non-mobile mass or even change in vocal quality.
这段旅程始于一次医生的就诊,超声检查发现了一个出乎意料的发现——左乳房出现1厘米的不均匀、分叶状肿块。这一发现给他的医疗情况增加了更多复杂性。甲状腺结节往往难以明确诊断;大多数可能是良性的,但也有可能是恶性的。单凭症状无法确定是否为恶性。极为罕见的侵袭性甲状腺结节可能会表现为大的甲状腺肿块、坚实或不可移动的肿块,甚至声音质量的变化。
After just two months of dedicated treatment, he experienced a turning point—he began to regain his ability to speak. The vocal cords, once silenced by the thyroid condition, were now coming back to life. With each passing month, the progress continued, and within a year, most of his voice-related complaints had subsided.
仅仅两个月的专注治疗后,他经历了一个转折点——他开始恢复说话的能力。曾经被甲状腺疾病静默的声带现在又恢复了生机。随着时间的推移,进展持续发展,一年内,他的大部分与声音相关的抱怨都已经减轻。
He opted for ECCT, a non-surgical Treatment for Complex Thyroid Nodule as his treatment that taken him a good 15-month course of treatment. The goal was to address the thyroid mixed lobulated cystic with solid parts and alleviate its impact on his vocal cords. What makes his journey particularly noteworthy is that he did not undergo any surgical intervention. This decision was guided by the desire to preserve the integrity of his vocal cords and minimize the impact on his daily life. Over the course of the treatment, his condition improved steadily although slowly.
他选择了ECCT作为治疗方法,进行了为期15个月的治疗。治疗的目标是应对甲状腺混合分叶囊性实质性结节,并减轻其对声带的影响。他的旅程之所以特别引人注目,是因为他没有接受任何手术干预。这一决定是出于保护声带完整性和减少对他日常生活影响的愿望。在治疗过程中,他的病情虽然缓慢但稳步地改善。
The undeniable positive attitude and restored of voice day by day are a source of motivation for him to go through the long journey, and with his unwavering determination, even complex medical challenges can be overcome.
这种不可否认的积极态度以及声音逐渐恢复的情况,是他度过漫长旅程的动力之源,也证明了即使面对复杂的医疗挑战,只要有坚定的决心,一切都能克服。
