Experience in nursing care during thyroid cancer surgery

As the life pressure of our relatives and friends becomes greater and greater, they develop many bad habits and suffer from many diseases, such as thyroid cancer. So what are the experiences in perioperative nursing for thyroid cancer? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue.

1. First of all, when thyroid disease occurs, the first symptom will be an enlarged thyroid gland, which requires surgical treatment. You should also pay attention to neck exercises and practice neck exercises more often to prevent neck contracture. It is important to pay attention to postoperative health care.

2. After treatment of thyroid diseases, the vocal cords will definitely change, such as hoarseness and low pitch. After such a condition occurs, treatment must be carried out for a period of time. Chinese medicine can be used to promote recovery, so that the side effects will be reduced.

3. Pay more attention to postoperative follow-up examinations and be sure to follow the doctor's instructions to have regular blood tests.

4. It is also important to explain the clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism to patients so that they understand them and have regular outpatient follow-up. These are all postoperative care measures for patients with thyroid cancer.

5. Behind the thyroid gland are the parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerve. They should be exposed and protected as much as possible during surgery to reduce complications.

6. Isotope iodine therapy for thyroid cancer is a systemic specific treatment. As long as the tumor tissue has the ability to absorb iodine through iodine-131 testing, it can be treated with iodine-131.

7. Men are less likely to suffer from thyroid tumors than women, but their incidence of malignant tumors is higher than that of women.

Through the above understanding, we know some nursing measures for thyroid cancer, and hope to bring some help to everyone. Patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, develop good living habits, face life positively, and don't be discouraged. Only in this way can the disease recover as soon as possible.
