How to adjust diet after thyroid papillary microcarcinoma surgery What are the dietary taboos after thyroid papillary microcarcinoma surgery

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a common type of thyroid cancer. It is a low-grade malignant tumor with an onset age of 10-88 years old. It is more common in women than in men. Because the occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma is mainly related to endocrine factors, radioactive factors, high-iodine and iodine-deficient diets and genetic factors, it is important to make good dietary arrangements after surgery. So what should you eat after surgery for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma?

Major dietary restrictions one month after surgery

Within one month after thyroidectomy, it is usually not allowed to eat any seafood. After the operation, you should not eat seaweed foods with high iodine content, such as kelp, laver, sea lettuce, seaweed, etc. The salt you usually eat should also be replaced with non-iodized salt. Other condiments, such as soy sauce, soybean paste, etc., if you are not sure whether the salt contains iodine, it is best not to use them. In addition, do not eat any visible fat, mainly to avoid a high-fat diet, which hinders wound healing and causes more lymph fluid exudation. Do not eat animal viscera or animal skins, as these are high-fat foods. Do not eat any mutton within one month after the operation. It always does not hurt to abide by the usual taboos of traditional Chinese medicine.

High-calorie, high-vitamin, high-protein, and easily digestible paste foods are the first choice for such patients to prevent infection and help wound healing. Patients are advised to eat mainly fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and greasy foods, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, and accelerate postoperative wound healing.

In addition to dietary taboos, TSH and TG need to be checked regularly. They are indicators that need to be monitored after surgery. TSH is best controlled within 1. If there is a desire for fertility, it may be appropriately relaxed according to the situation. This indicator is related to the weather and the dosage of Euthyrox, so it needs to be adjusted. Too much will cause hyperthyroidism, and too little will cause hypothyroidism.
