How long can you live after the thyroid is completely removed, do you have the same question?

Hello everyone, welcome to this issue of "How long can you live without a complete thyroidectomy? Do you have the same question?"

A total thyroidectomy is the removal of the entire thyroid gland, which means that you have no thyroid organ. So do you have the same question, will this surgery remove all the thyroid glands, will it affect life expectancy, then I tell you, this surgery will not affect life expectancy, but! This operation will ensure that your original disease will not recur. That is to say, if the thyroid gland is removed due to thyroid cancer, then thyroid cancer will not be born. Of course, the possibility of metastasis is not ruled out. Although it does not affect the life expectancy, the survival time may be different.

1: The thyroidectomy has to be selected due to benign nodules. This problem is not too big. Of course, the operation must be guaranteed without problems. Because the nodules are benign, as long as there are no problems with the operation, the postoperative life will not be affected. , and there will be no metastasis. It is worth observing and paying attention to follow-up at all times to ensure that there are no complications.

2: If you choose surgery due to severe hyperthyroidism, the removal of the thyroid will not affect your life expectancy. Generally, doctors will not recommend you to have a full cut, because this disease will not completely destroy the thyroid. It is also possible to restore basic functions with the assistance of In the later stage, the inspection indicators are normal, and there is also the possibility of stopping the drug.

3: Because of malignant thyroid nodules, generally speaking, thyroid cancer has undergone total thyroidectomy. Then I will tell you about this situation. First of all, you must understand that there are four types of thyroid cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, thyroid medullary cancer. thyroid-like carcinoma, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. Among them, papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma are relatively "tender" cancers.

The other two types of cancer are relatively difficult to deal with. If anaplastic cancer and medullary cancer do total thyroidectomy, the relative survival time is shorter. It depends on how strong your first-line survival desire is.

I remember such a case. This case is a patient who has just undergone thyroidectomy. He has papillary cancer, and his condition is relatively mild. He has not undergone a complete resection, and the operation was successful. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that his survival period is very long. But this person always felt that the incision was not clean and asked for a second operation.

Although the doctor has repeatedly stressed that there is no need for a second operation. But this patient felt that he was still ill and had difficulty breathing, which directly affected his postoperative recovery.

Therefore, no matter how well the surgery is done, you must control your own emotions! Actively cooperate and maintain a good mood, otherwise another disease will come again after the disease is cured. Exercise is a good medicine, and a good mood is the medicine.

Of course, it is worth noting that patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are not recommended to overwork. Hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which in itself accelerates the body's metabolism. Hypothyroidism is just the opposite, but the patient's body carrying capacity becomes poor, immunity is poor, and they are afraid of cold. In order not to aggravate the disease, they should not work excessively!

In addition, patients after thyroid surgery should also pay attention to their diet. In the first two days after surgery, they should mainly eat liquid food, and try not to have large activities. The most suitable way is to lie in bed and rest. 0
