Follow-up treatment after thyroid surgery

  After thyroid surgery, many patients are very concerned about what other treatments are available after surgery. I will introduce it to you below.  The TSH can stimulate the thyroid gland to proliferate and promote the recurrence of nodules or tumors. If TSH is elevated, it is recommended to take 1 and a half tablets of Eugenol orally every morning on an empty stomach, after taking 100 tablets.  Papillary thyroid cancer: Surgery + TSH suppression therapy + I131 is the basic treatment for papillary thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If I131 therapy is performed, total thyroidectomy must have been performed. I131 is not available for total thyroidectomy of one lobe only or in combination with a major contralateral resection. I won’t go into detail about the mechanism here. I will focus on TSH suppression therapy in the context of laboratory tests.
