What harm will the body suffer after complete removal of thyroid cancer

What harm will a total thyroidectomy do to the body? If you want to reduce the harm caused by thyroid cancer and prevent the disease from getting worse, doctors will recommend total thyroidectomy. However, many patients are very worried about the harm of total thyroidectomy. So, what harm will a total thyroidectomy do to the body?

Dangers of thyroid cancer

1. When thyroid cancer becomes particularly serious and there is no way to cure it, the patient will have to take medicine for the rest of his life or may die.

2. Thyroid cancer can also cause some complications, such as damage to liver and kidney functions.

3. If you have thyroid cancer and you do not actively seek treatment and keep delaying the treatment, over time the course of the disease will be prolonged, and both your Qi and Yin will be damaged. The final outcome is that the disease will become incurable and life-threatening.

4. Thyroid tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign thyroid cancer itself is not serious, but if not treated in time, the tumor will grow larger and compress the trachea, esophagus and recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing symptoms such as dyspnea, dysphagia and hoarseness. In addition, benign thyroid cancer has a 10%-20% malignant transformation rate. Therefore, it should be treated as soon as possible after discovery.

The harm of thyroid cancer is mainly the local impact, which will destroy the normal thyroid cells of the human body and cause abnormal thyroid function. In addition, there may be symptoms of local compression, such as hoarseness, coughing when drinking water, and difficulty breathing; until the late stage, the tumor cells will metastasize to the lungs, bones, and other organs, which can seriously damage the normal function of the organs. Metastasis to the lungs will cause a series of symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, infection, and even be fatal.

Clinically, there are reports of thyroid cancer, thyroiditis, nodular goiter or some toxic goiters becoming cancerous, but the relationship between these thyroid lesions and thyroid cancer is still difficult to confirm. If thyroid cancer is transformed from adenoma, most of them should be follicular, but in fact more than half of thyroid cancer is capitulum, so it is speculated that the incidence of thyroid adenoma becoming cancerous is also very small.

1. After having a complete cancer surgery, the immune system will definitely decline, and you will be very sensitive to temperature, afraid of heat and cold. You will be particularly prone to hot flashes. In addition, in the fatigue or dry season, you will only feel pain if you eat food without salt. In addition, your physical strength will also decline, you will not be able to walk far, and you will feel tired easily. But these are all problems that can be overcome.

2. After thyroid surgery, as long as the cut tissue is analyzed pathologically in the hospital to see if there is any metastasis, and then see if there are any complications, such as damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, whether the parathyroid gland is preserved, and prevent infection. If the above aspects are done well, there will be basically no problem. Pay attention to the rest during the recovery period. I wish you a speedy recovery!

3. What kind of impact will the complete removal of thyroid cancer have? In fact, it is not as terrible as some patients imagine. But as long as it is a disease, what we are afraid of is that patients do not pay enough attention to it, do not get timely treatment and know how to pay attention after treatment. As long as patients actively cooperate with the treatment and receive treatment according to their own conditions, I believe the disease will get better soon.

Note: After parathyroidectomy, blood calcium may decrease. This needs to be maintained by medication. The diet should be light, nutritious, easy to digest, moderate, and regular. In addition, some health food can be appropriately supplemented, but be careful to choose safe and guaranteed products. In addition, you can increase the amount of activities.
