What should I pay attention to after thyroid cancer surgery?

Precautions after thyroid cancer surgery include improving diet nutrition, exercising moderately, and going to the hospital for regular checkups.

1. Improve your diet: After thyroid cancer surgery, your body is relatively weak. You should give priority to liquid diet after surgery. It should not be too hot or too cold to reduce stimulation to the thyroid gland. You can eat high-nutrition and high-fiber foods such as milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Do not eat too cold, greasy and spicy foods.

2. Moderate exercise: You can do moderate exercise under the guidance of a professional doctor, and try to choose soothing exercise, such as walking or Tai Chi. Get enough sleep every day and don't get tired.

3. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups: You need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups after the operation, such as whole-body radioactive iodine scans, chest X-rays, thyroid hormones, thyroglobulin, thyroid hormones, and B-ultrasound examinations to promptly detect whether the cancer has signs of recurrence and distant metastasis so that appropriate treatment can be carried out.

After the operation, you also need to maintain a stable and comfortable mood, which will play a better role in promoting the recovery of the disease.
