What is the reason for the bulging in the middle section of the thyroid cancer incision?

If a bulge appears in the middle section of the incision of a thyroid cancer patient, it may be caused by poor healing, infection, cancer cell metastasis, etc. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in time and receive appropriate treatment after a clear diagnosis, which will help alleviate symptoms.

1. Poor healing: After surgical resection, local tissue growth will be more vigorous during the healing process of thyroid cancer patients, but tissue healing takes a certain amount of time. Local swelling may occur during the healing process, which can be manifested as bulging in the middle section of the incision. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, patients can have regular thyroid color Doppler ultrasound examinations to understand the healing status of the incision, and no special treatment is required;

2. Infection: If patients do not pay attention to the hygiene of the incision after thyroid cancer surgery, it may cause infection of the incision. Due to inflammation stimulating local tissues, it will cause swelling, which can be manifested as bulging in the middle of the incision. Patients usually also have symptoms such as fever. At this time, it is necessary to use iodine disinfection in time, and use cefradine capsules, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs for anti-infection treatment according to the doctor's advice;

3. Cancer cell metastasis: If the cancer cells are not completely removed after the thyroid cancer surgery, cancer cell metastasis may occur, which may irritate the lymph nodes and cause lymph node enlargement, which may also manifest as bulging in the middle of the incision. The patient needs further examination to clarify the condition, and then chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments to help inhibit the spread and metastasis of cancer cells.

For patients who have undergone thyroid cancer surgery, it is recommended to eat more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat to supplement the nutrients needed by the body. At the same time, care should be taken to keep the incision clean and dry to avoid infection, which is conducive to promoting incision healing.
