How to eat after half of the thyroid cancer is removed

After undergoing hemisection surgery, patients with thyroid cancer can eat easily digestible foods, foods rich in vitamins, foods rich in iodine, foods rich in high-quality protein, etc. to achieve a balanced nutrition, which is beneficial to the patient's recovery.

1. Easily digestible food: After thyroid cancer patients have a half-cut, their intestinal function is weak, so it is recommended to eat easily digestible food, such as rice porridge, noodles, wontons, etc., and eat small meals frequently, which will not burden the intestines;

2. Vitamin-rich foods: Thyroid cancer patients can eat fresh vegetables and fruits with high vitamin content such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, celery, beans, etc. after cutting them in half. They can be made into fruit and vegetable juices for drinking, which are easier to digest and absorb;

3. Foods rich in iodine: Since thyroid cancer patients will have their thyroid function damaged after hemisection surgery, they can appropriately consume foods rich in iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, and dried shrimp, to supplement thyroid hormones, promote metabolism, and facilitate recovery;

4. Foods rich in high-quality protein: After a hemisection of the thyroid cancer patient, the body is in a relatively weak state. At this time, they can eat milk, eggs, lean meat and other foods rich in high-quality protein to enhance the body's resistance and provide energy for the body's recovery;

5. Others: Since thyroid cancer patients may take levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment after hemisection surgery, they can take levothyroxine sodium tablets for endocrine treatment at this time. At the same time, they can eat iodine-rich foods such as sea cucumbers and jellyfish to avoid worsening of the disease.

If the patient develops a lump in the neck or abdomen, he or she should go to the hospital in time and undergo ultrasound, CT, X-ray and other examinations to determine whether there is thyroid cancer. If thyroid cancer is present, surgical treatment should be performed in time.
