Thyroid cancer patients cannot eat spherical vegetables

Clinically, there is no saying that thyroid cancer patients cannot eat spherical vegetables. Spherical vegetables usually contain a variety of nutrients and are beneficial to the human body after normal consumption, so thyroid cancer patients can eat them in moderation. However, it is not recommended for thyroid cancer patients to eat too much spherical vegetables, which may cause symptoms such as indigestion.

1. Reason: Spherical vegetables contain vitamins, proteins, dietary fiber and other nutrients. Normal people can supplement some nutrition and energy by eating a moderate amount of spherical vegetables. However, for patients with thyroid cancer, due to the influence of the disease, the body's digestive ability and immune ability may be reduced. At this time, if you eat too much spherical vegetables, it may lead to excessive intake of nutrients, increase the digestive burden, and cause indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain;

2. Symptoms: In the early stages of thyroid cancer, there is usually a lump in the neck, accompanied by dysphagia, hoarseness, etc. At this time, it is not advisable to eat too much spherical vegetables, because spherical vegetables contain a certain amount of iodine, which may stimulate the lump and cause it to grow, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease;

3. Treatment: For patients with thyroid cancer, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice to undergo thyroidectomy for treatment. At the same time, after surgery, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and other auxiliary treatments can be given according to the doctor's advice. At this time, eating spherical vegetables appropriately can reduce the risk of disease recurrence and prolong survival time;

4. Precautions: Since patients with thyroid cancer need to undergo long-term radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, oral ulcers may occur. Therefore, when eating spherical vegetables, you should pay attention to eating small amounts and multiple meals, and rinse your mouth with clean water in time after eating to keep your mouth clean. You should also pay attention to the recovery of the surgical incision, keep the wound dry and clean, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
