Tsh is high after thyroid surgery

TSH refers to the hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. When we go for testing after surgery, we will find that the TSH value is high. We can take thyroid hormone drugs to suppress its value. In fact, the lower the TSH value, the better. It also needs to be judged according to the degree of recurrence of thyroid tumors. For example, for people with high recurrence, it is best to control it below 0.1mU/L. Therefore, the analysis of TSH value should be judged according to the degree of recurrence of one's own disease.

The thyroid gland is located on both sides of the trachea in the neck. The thyroid cartilage in front and below can be divided into left and right lobes, connected by a narrow isthmus in the middle. Thyroid nodules are dense proliferation of thyroid tissue cells. The volume of the contained units is significantly higher than the normal value. The early symptoms of thyroid nodules are not obvious and they can be easily confused with thyroid cysts. Light spots or strong spots or strong auras can be seen under ultrasound.

Significance of thyroid nodule calcification

Generally, about 25% of thyroid nodules have calcification shadows, while 50% to 62.5% of thyroid cancers have calcification. It is generally believed that the coarser the calcification particles, the better the differentiation of the cancer tissue. The characteristics of the calcification shadows may have the following relationship with the cancer classification.

① Granular calcification is almost common to all thyroid malignant tumors and is often a characteristic manifestation of papillary adenocarcinoma.

② In the gross calcification images, about 10% to 20% are cancers, among which follicular adenocarcinoma accounts for a larger proportion.

③ Medullary carcinoma often has a mixture of coarse particles and sand-like calcifications.

④ Generally, the calcification images of benign thyroid tumors are dense with clear edges, while the shadows of malignant tumors are faint and blurred. Treatment advice for thyroid nodules

1. If the bright spot during thyroid examination is relatively large, puncture treatment is recommended.

2. You can avoid surgery and use conservative treatment with Chinese medicine. Check again after a period of time. If the strong light spot has been reduced, the treatment is effective and you can continue until recovery.

Prevention of thyroid nodule calcification

The iodine element in the diet has a great impact on the thyroid gland. Insufficient or excessive iodine intake can cause thyroid disease. Iodine deficiency is the main cause of goiter. The daily diet of people in plateaus and mountainous areas often lacks iodine, so they should use iodized salt to cook. People in coastal areas should control their iodine intake.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of thyroid disease is closely related to emotional disorders. Maintaining a good mentality and optimistic attitude towards life can significantly reduce the occurrence of thyroid disease.

Excessive fatigue will increase the burden on the thyroid gland. In the long run, the thyroid gland will be in an unstable state, reducing the body's immunity. When affected by external factors, such as chemical stimulation or invasion by bacteria and viruses, lesions are likely to occur. Therefore, combining work and rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and work style are also effective ways to prevent thyroid disease.

Thyroid nodule calcification diet

Conditions such as thyroid degeneration, inflammation, autoimmunity, and neoplasms can all manifest as nodules. Thyroid nodules can be single or multiple. The incidence of multiple nodules is higher than that of single nodules, but the incidence of thyroid cancer in single nodules is higher.
