Are there any side effects of eating seafood two years after thyroid cancer surgery?

Patients who have undergone thyroid cancer surgery for two years generally have no obvious side effects if they eat seafood in moderation. However, if they eat seafood in excess for a long time, they may experience adverse reactions such as allergies and gout.

1. No obvious side effects

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. After surgical treatment, regular thyroid function and ultrasound examinations are required. If all indicators are normal, you can eat some iodine-rich foods, such as kelp and seaweed. Seafood also contains relatively high protein and a variety of mineral elements, which help to enhance the body's resistance and promote recovery from the disease without affecting your health.

2. Side effects

1. Allergy: Some people may experience allergies after eating seafood due to their physical constitution, resulting in symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling of the skin. At this time, you should stop eating immediately and take antihistamines for treatment as prescribed by your doctor if necessary, such as loratadine tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride capsules, etc.

2. Gout: Seafood is a high-purine food, so it is not recommended for gout patients to eat it. Because eating too much can easily induce or aggravate joint pain symptoms, which is not conducive to disease control and recovery.

For patients after thyroid cancer surgery, they should also pay attention to maintaining good living habits, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. At the same time, they should also increase their intake of nutrients and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which is beneficial to improving their own immunity and preventing the occurrence of various infectious diseases.
