What are the signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer? After a thyroidectomy, what medications will be required from the rest of the patient’s life? What purpose does the parathyroid have? If during the thyroidectomy, the parathyroid glands also removed, what does this mean for the patient?
Homework Answers
Answer) Signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer-
- problem in swallowing and breathing
- swelling in the front area of neck with the presence of lump
- Hoarseness in the voice
- cold and pain in neck
After a thyroidectomy, levothyroxine medications will be required from the rest of the patient’s life.
Purpose of parathyroid is to increase the calcium level in the body by breaking calcium from bones, increasing calcium absorption in intestine and increasing capacity of kidney to hold more calcium.
If during the thyroidectomy, the parathyroid glands also removed, it means that the patient will suffer from hypoparathyroidism for the rest of his life which will lead to hypocalcemia.
