THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURANCE OF NODULAR FORMATIONS OF THE THYROID GLANDS IN ADOLESCENTS OF THE KASHKADARYA REGION ACCORDING TO SCREENING
Keywords:
nodular goiter, adolescents, complicationsAbstract
Introduction. The prevalence of NFTG is about 1.8% in healthy adolescents; However, the frequency of malignancy is higher than in adults. Approximately 26.4% NFTG cause thyroid cancer in childhood. Concomitant thyroid disease, anamnesis of neck irradiation, puberty age, female gender and malignant neoplasms of the thyroid gland in the family are risk factors for the development of nodes
The purpose of the study is to study the dynamics of the frequency of thyroid nodules in adolescents of the Kashkadarya region by district.
Material and methods. On the basis of the clinic of the Kashkadarya branch of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Endocrinology of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan named after academician. Y.H. Turakulov from 2020 to 2024, 568 adolescents with nodular thyroid diseases aged 11 to 15 years were examined. Of these, there were 461 girls and 107 boys.
Results. During the period from 2020 to 2024 in the Kashkadarya region there was a tendency towards a slight decrease in the number of adolescents with nodular diseases of the thyroid gland.
Conclusion. Thyroid problems in adolescents may appear as a goiter, a nodule, or a general set of abnormal symptoms and physical findings. A unique problem for adolescents is that thyroid problems can adversely affect growth and development during puberty, a crucial period of hormonal interaction.

В общей популяции узлы щитовидной железы обнаруживаются у 5% при пальпации и у 50% при ультразвуковом исследовании (УЗИ). Первоначальная оценка узлов должна включать измерение сывороточного тиреотропного гормона, тонкоигольную аспирационную биопсию (FNA) и УЗИ. Микроузлы щитовидной железы обнаруживаются все чаще и в настоящее время оцениваются с помощью УЗИ-FNA.
