Patient's question:
What are the complications caused by goiter?Doctor's answer:
The complications that this disease can lead to include:1. Postoperative bleeding most commonly occurs within 48 hours after surgery and is the most critical complication. It is primarily caused by incomplete or inadequate hemostasis, or by the detachment of ligature lines. Postoperative coughing, vomiting, excessive activity, or talking can trigger bleeding.
2. If the thyroid is over-supplemented, it may lead to hyperthyroidism, palpitations, restlessness, etc. Regular monitoring of thyroid function is necessary.
