Common sense: Glands are the largest endocrine glands, and thyroid diseases are also the most common endocrine diseases. Because of the different causes and manifestations of thyroid diseases, some only show swelling or local pain in front of the neck, some have a variety of general discomfort, and even affect growth and fertility, and some may have serious life-threatening consequences such as heart failure.
Because most patients don't know that their symptoms belong to thyroid disease, or they know that they have goiter, and they don't know which specialty they are in, which delays the diagnosis and treatment.
