Can't people with thyroid cancer eat hot food?

Thyroid cancer patients cannot eat hot food, which usually means that they cannot eat heated food. This situation is common in thyroid cancer patients after surgery. Since patients are in the recovery stage after thyroid cancer surgery, they need to supplement nutrition, and heated food is not conducive to the patient's recovery. The main reasons include increased nutrition, spicy food, greasy food, etc.

1. Increase nutrition: Heated food is not conducive to the patient's recovery and may have adverse effects on the patient's health, so it is not recommended to eat. It is recommended that thyroid cancer patients should eat more light and easily digestible food after surgery, such as rice porridge, noodles, etc., and eat some fresh vegetables and fruits appropriately to supplement nutrition;

2. Spicy food: Spicy food such as hot pot and malatang can easily irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms. Thyroid cancer patients are weak after surgery, and eating spicy food may affect their recovery. In addition, it may also aggravate the condition to a certain extent. Therefore, thyroid cancer patients should avoid eating spicy food after surgery;

3. Greasy food: such as fatty meat, fried chicken and other greasy foods. If thyroid cancer patients eat greasy food after surgery, it may cause indigestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. In addition, it may also cause the patient's blood lipids to increase, affecting health. Therefore, thyroid cancer patients should avoid eating greasy food after surgery;

4. Other foods: After surgery, thyroid cancer patients should also avoid drinking stimulating beverages such as coffee and strong tea, and avoid eating too much spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and ginger.

In addition to the above-mentioned dietary precautions, thyroid cancer patients should also keep warm after surgery to avoid cold stimulation. Keep the wound clean and hygienic, avoid contact with water too early, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
