Patient's question:
My father had a collapse due to a brain hemorrhage five years ago. In November of this year, I took him for a thorough examination and discovered a thyroid tumor. He has also visited several hospitals, with some suggesting surgery and others not recommending it. I would like to ask if paralyzed patients like my father, who have thyroid tumors, are suitable for surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
If it is clear that you have a thyroid tumor, it is not advisable to rule out the possibility of malignancy. It is still better to undergo early surgical treatment. Paralyzed patients and thyroid surgery are generally not very directly related. Early treatment can effectively alleviate symptoms. Moreover, if the patient is elderly and it is malignant, it may progress rapidly and endanger the patient's life. Therefore, it is recommended that if possible, early surgical treatment is better. Let's wait and see. Normal life.
