Why do my hands and feet become numb after total thyroid removal? How can I adjust my hands and feet numb after total thyroid removal through diet?

Nowadays, thyroid patients are very common. If these patients experience numbness in their hands and feet after undergoing total thyroid removal surgery, there is no need to worry. As long as the patient pays attention to diet, these sequelae can be treated. For example, if you eat more coarse grains, high-protein foods, and vitamin foods, the numbness in your hands and feet will gradually disappear.

The thyroid gland is the most important regulator of the human immune system. However, in clinical treatment, many patients need to undergo total thyroidectomy for various reasons. After the operation, patients often experience numbness in their hands and feet. How should these patients' daily diet be arranged reasonably? Let's take a look at the diet for numbness in hands and feet after total thyroidectomy.

1. Eat more coarse grains: I believe that many patients who have undergone surgery to remove their thyroid glands will be told by doctors that they must pay attention to long-term calcium supplementation in their lives, because after the thyroid gland is removed, the body's calcium absorption capacity will be significantly weakened. At this time, patients need to eat more foods high in calcium. Once the supplement is too much, it may cause the patient to have a long-term constipation. At this time, if you want to ensure your bowel movements are normal, you should eat more crude fiber foods, that is, whole grains and other coarse grains. There is also yogurt, especially a cup of yogurt before going to bed at night, and drinking yogurt after getting up in the morning, which is beneficial to the body's bowel movement. If the patient's constipation is more serious, the patient should use some lactulose, or enema drugs for treatment when necessary. In short, you still have to pay attention to eating coarse grains.

2. Eat more high-protein foods: The thyroid gland can help the body absorb some protein and excrete some waste substances. However, after removal, the absorption of protein will be affected. At this time, if the patient's hands and feet often have numbness, convulsions and symptoms are more serious, in addition to the treatment of glucose water, they should also eat more fish and shrimp, milk, and lean meat. These foods can ensure the patient's health and will not make the patient's body too fat. It is best for the patient to eat different kinds of high-protein foods every day.

3. Eat more foods containing vitamins: Vitamins are very important for the regulation of the human body. If the patient's body becomes numb for a long time, he needs to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits on a daily basis. It is best to eat seasonal ones and not out-of-season ones.
