doctors-for-thyroidectomy Questions

Hi
after thyroidectomy the reason for decreased calcium is mainly due to parathyroid dysfunction. After surgery due to handling of thyroid gland there can be dysfunction for some time but the function is regained after some months. Do keep doing serum calcium levels every now and then.
Consult an endocrinologist if required.
Regards.

Dear lybrate-user,
after tota thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer the dose of thyroxine should be adjusted to maintain tsh < 0.1 uiu/ml for the initial 5 years at least. I assume you are now on 100 ug once daily this may have to be increased to 2 tablets taken on an empty stomach. Do not miss any dose. If you forget in the morning take it when you remember. After 3 months check tsh and make sure it is less than 0.1. You will need thyroxine lifelong and I am sure your doctor would have...more

Your blood pressure needs to be checked regularly so that one can assess your overall health and fitness level. Do talk to your doctor so that necessary changes can done accordingly. Adapt healthy lifestyle so that you can keep yourself fit and healthy and thereby need minimum medications.

If it's given by your doctor then you can otherwise don't, as it can contain sugar which is not good as your diabetic.

I guess total thrroidectomy must be done for possibly papillary/folllicular tumor. Besides taking calcium and Vit D3, youhave forgotten to mention how much thyroxin you are on not as an replacement and also it suppressiv tumor growth. You need to be on follow up periodicalllylike any other tumor eisewhere but these lesiions are compatible with normal life span

Dear Ravi,
The transplanted parathyroids take time to start functioning normally again.During surgery their blood supply can get compromised and they may not function well again.
Meanwhile you can consult your doctor and increase the dose of calcium.
Get the serum calcium repeated after 1 month and then we can reassess what to do.
Regards.
