Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What should I do if the recurrence of nodular goiter occurs after thyroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
I don't know what kind of complications you're referring to after thyroid surgery. Generally speaking, for nodular goiter, complications are rare after surgery. However, it is now recommended that the patient go to a higher-level hospital to make an appointment with the thyroid and breast surgery department for a follow-up. They can perform a detailed thyroid ultrasound examination. If the ultrasound results indeed indicate complications, then it can be evaluated whether further surgery is necessary based on the results of the ultrasound examination.
