Thyroid cancer incision care measures

After thyroid cancer surgery, incision care measures mainly include keeping the incision clean, avoiding infection, paying attention to changes in the incision, and adjusting diet. Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor with no obvious symptoms in the early stage and is often discovered during physical examinations.

1. Keep the incision clean: After surgery, patients with thyroid cancer should keep the incision clean and hygienic, disinfect and change the dressing regularly, and avoid getting the wound wet to avoid infection;

2. Avoid infection: After surgery, thyroid cancer patients should avoid strenuous exercise or excessive fatigue to avoid affecting wound healing. At the same time, they should avoid eating spicy foods, such as peppers and garlic, to avoid irritating the wound and affecting healing. In addition, they should also avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking and drinking will aggravate vasoconstriction and coagulation disorders, thereby increasing the risk of postoperative bleeding;

3. Pay attention to changes in the incision: After surgery, patients with thyroid cancer should pay attention to whether the incision is red, swollen, or leaking, and inform the doctor in time. If any abnormality occurs, follow the doctor's advice and handle it in time;

4. Diet adjustment: Patients with thyroid cancer should pay attention to a light diet after surgery. They can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as apples, bananas, spinach, etc. They can also appropriately supplement protein-rich foods, such as eggs, milk, etc., which are conducive to promoting physical recovery.

In addition to the above measures, you should also take more rest and get enough sleep in your daily life. If you experience any discomfort, you should seek medical treatment in time.
