What kind of experience is it to do thyroid surgery?

After the operation, I seemed to speak normally, but I felt more tired.

The postoperative recovery of thyroid gland is relatively long, which usually takes about three months. Within one month after operation, the patient will feel incision pain, and some symptoms such as swallowing discomfort, nausea, dizziness and vomiting will appear, which is more painful. Patients with thyroid gland need strict postoperative care, otherwise it may have a certain impact on wound recovery, and suffocation may occur.

Matters needing attention in thyroid surgery

The thyroid gland is located in front of the neck, and there are parathyroid gland, recurrent laryngeal nerve and superior laryngeal nerve behind the thyroid gland. Therefore, after thyroid surgery, if there is bleeding or even massive bleeding in the wound, it will compress the trachea and cause suffocation. Therefore, if this happens, the suture of the wound should be removed immediately and sent to the operating room for emergency rescue and hemostasis.

If the nerve of the upper larynx is damaged, it will be manifested as choking and coughing when drinking water, and the voice will be low, so you can't sing high notes in the future. If it is recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, unilateral injury shows hoarseness; If both sides are injured, suffocation may occur. If the parathyroid gland is damaged, hypocalcemia will occur after operation; If all four parathyroids are damaged, it will show permanent hypocalcemia and need long-term oral calcium tablets to maintain.
