What is the reason why the incision of thyroid cancer is so dry

Thyroid cancer patients have dry incisions, which may be caused by wound healing, local infection, postoperative scar hyperplasia, postoperative hypothyroidism, etc. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Wound healing: During surgery, patients with thyroid cancer need to have part of their thyroid tissue removed, which may cause some damage to the patient's thyroid gland, thus affecting the patient's thyroid function and causing dry wounds. This is generally a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment;

2. Local infection: If the patient does not pay attention to postoperative care, the wound may be infected by bacteria, causing local swelling, pain and other symptoms. In severe cases, pus may also occur. At this time, you can take amoxicillin capsules, cefixime capsules and other drugs for anti-infection treatment as prescribed by the doctor;

3. Postoperative scar hyperplasia: If the patient has a scar-prone constitution, scar hyperplasia may occur at the incision site after surgery, causing itching and dryness of the incision. At this time, silicone gel can be applied to the affected area to inhibit scar hyperplasia;

4. Postoperative hypothyroidism: If the patient develops hypothyroidism after surgery, the above symptoms may also occur. At this time, you can take drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above situations, if the patient does not take good care of the wound after surgery, such as frequently touching or scratching the wound with hands, it may cause local skin damage, which may lead to bacterial infection. When inflammatory factors stimulate the surrounding tissues, the above symptoms may occur.
