Will thyroid cancer recur if thyrotropin is low?

Thyroid cancer with low thyrotropin generally does not recur. Thyrotropin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that promotes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. If thyrotropin is low, it may be caused by the patient taking medication or by diseases such as hyperthyroidism.

1. Taking medicine: If the patient suffers from hyperthyroidism, taking propylthiouracil tablets, methimazole tablets and other drugs may cause the level of thyrotropin in the body to decrease. This is a normal phenomenon and will not affect the health of the body or cause recurrence.

2. Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism refers to hypermetabolism and sympathetic nerve excitement. Clinical manifestations include palpitations, sweating, increased eating and bowel movements, and weight loss. Most patients also have symptoms such as exophthalmos, eyelid edema, and decreased vision. Treatment is mainly based on antithyroid drugs, such as propylthiouracil tablets and methimazole tablets. Radioactive iodine therapy or surgical treatment can be performed if necessary.

3. Others: In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by subacute thyroiditis and other reasons. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in time to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.

In daily life, we should maintain a good attitude and avoid emotional excitement. Pay attention to balanced nutrition in diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods to enhance resistance.
