Can I drink alcohol when I have thyroid nodules

As we all know, if our body is sick, many bad living habits and some foods need to be banned. For patients with thyroid nodules, can they still drink alcohol in daily life? Regarding this issue, experts recommend that patients with thyroid nodules should not drink alcohol. At the same time, in order to recover health faster, we should also pay attention to some dietary taboos in daily life.

Thyroiditis is a common thyroid disease that is more common in women. There are various clinical manifestations. The same type of thyroiditis can manifest as hyperthyroidism at different stages of the disease. Alcohol can cause capillary dilation, but it actually has limited effect on the blood supply to the thyroid gland. Other effects are not clearly pointed out in medicine. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to drink a small amount of alcohol after thyroid surgery, but drinking a lot of alcohol is definitely contraindicated. Patients must also pay attention to the following in their daily lives:

Steps/Methods:

1. Patients should avoid the following foods: avoid all kinds of raw goitrogens, such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, cassava, walnuts, etc.; avoid foods rich in cholesterol, such as butter, animal brains and offal, etc. Limit the intake of high-fat foods, such as cooking oil, peanuts, walnut kernels, almonds, sesame paste, ham, pork belly, sweet cheese, etc.

2 Patients should choose the following foods: appropriate amounts of kelp and seaweed, and iodized salt can be used. When cooking, be careful not to put iodized salt into boiling oil to prevent iodine from volatilizing and reducing the iodine concentration. Protein supplements can be obtained from eggs, milk, various meats, and fish; plant protein can be complementary, and supplying animal liver can correct anemia, and a variety of vegetables and fresh fruits must also be ensured.

3 Drink more yogurt, mushroom soup, kelp soup, and yellow croaker soup. Hello, surgery can only remove the surface tumor, but cannot remove the tens of millions of capillaries under the tumor (the foundation of the tumor). Therefore, surgery can only eliminate the surface tumor, but cannot cure the tumor. It is recommended that patients use pure natural Chinese herbal medicine to consolidate the treatment effect.

Note:

Patients with enlarged thyroid gland cannot drink alcohol, as drinking may aggravate their condition. During treatment, they should be careful not to eat raw, cold, spicy, irritating or greasy foods, avoid smoking and drinking, eat a light diet and do not stay up late. Get well soon!
