lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. Usually hypothyroidism seen during pregnancy goes away after delivery. Therefore if TSH is normal after few weeks of pregnancy then there is no need to take thyroxine tablets. TSH should be with in the specified range. Thanks.

Sorry to know about your mother suffering. From what I guess unable to swallow is troubling her more .For that there are options of either to insert Endoscopy guided Ryles tube (food pipe) or Esophageal Stent. If the above not possible then there is another option of doing a small surgery to insert a tube directly into the Jejunum that known as Feeding Jejunostomy. Please discuss all the options with your Oncologist for better guidance.

Dear lybrate user
Apart from medical treatment he also needs psychological help as stress fear anxiety etc plays an important role in most of the chronic diseases. Plus physical and mental relaxation is also required. So get him this mind therapy as well he will be benefitted for sure. Good luck.

My father is 78 years old. Recently he suffered high fever, was diagnosed perforated gallbladder causing fluid leakage, swelling and infection. Cluster of stones detected in ultrasound and CT Scan. He was admitted and fluid made to dry with medicine and antibiotics. He is now fit and normal. However, doctors advised gallbladder surgery as it will repeat the ailment. He is diabetic and has undergone heart bypass surgery in 2012. Presurgery tests - all ok except heart functioning at 28% (high risk). We are too much worried and confused as surgery is must. Is it ok to go ahead with surgery?

You can go ahead with surgery in a centre where there is cardiac backup like Medanta, Fortis or Apollo. Still it will be a high risk surgery.

Oncologist•Mumbai

Gall bladder cancer usually spreads to the liver by contiguous spread, which is curable although advanced (hence percent cured is less)
However if it has metastasised to the liver, then cure is unlikely and treatment is palliative.
I would be able to opine better if you could share the images. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

The echo report cannot accurately tell whether the patient is well or unwell. If she can walk around she is ok. If she can climb stairs easily she is doing very well, and if she is breathless often on minor exertion or when lying down, she is not well.

If it is thyroid cancer of size more than 1 cm It is preferable to go for total thyroidectomy. You would also need radioiodine therapy after the surgery. Thyroidectomy can be performed robotically or laparoscopically with no visible scar with excellent results.
