Rest for 1-2 hours is usually sufficient after thyroid puncture. Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid gland is a common way to confirm the benign or malignant nature of thyroid disease, especially if there is a high degree of suspicion of possible malignant thyroid lesions on ultrasound, thyroid puncture is often recommended. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, and the fine-needle puncture wound is very small, so you can return to your daily work and life after resting for 1-2 hours after the puncture examination. Possible complications after thyroid puncture are localized pain, bleeding, and infection. After the puncture, it is necessary to pay attention to appropriate pressure on the local area, observe whether there is any subcutaneous bleeding at the puncture site, whether there is any combined neck pain, dyspnea, etc. In general, there is no complication. Generally speaking, if there are no complications, the patient can be discharged after 1-2 hours of observation. If there are complications after thyroid puncture, such as more local bleeding, secondary bacterial infection, etc., at this time, we need to actively carry out rescue treatment to prevent bleeding or infection caused by respiratory difficulties or even suffocation, etc.. Patients with thyroid disease should consult in regular hospitals and strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for puncture and treatment.
