Explore our frequently asked questions for in-depth insights on thyroid care and surgery.
Thyroid surgery typically involves a small incision in the neck. During the procedure, you'll receive anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain. Mr Jeddy will remove all or part of the thyroid gland, depending on your condition. The surgery usually lasts a few hours, and you may need to stay in the hospital for a day or two for monitoring.
Mr Jeddy will provide instructions, which may include fasting or adjusting current medications. Mentally, it's normal to feel anxious; consider relaxation techniques or discussing any concerns with Mr Jeddy and his team. Ensure you have arranged for post-surgery care and transportation. Remember, this surgery is a routine procedure with high success rates.
Recovery varies, but most patients resume normal activities within a few weeks. Initially, you may experience some pain, swelling, or voice changes, which are generally temporary. Follow Mr Jeddy's guidance on wound care, diet, and activity level. Regular follow-up appointments are important for a smooth recovery.
The long-term impact depends on the extent of your surgery. If part of the thyroid is left intact, it might function normally. However, if your entire thyroid is removed or if you undergo treatment for thyroid cancer, you'll likely need lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Regular follow-up and blood tests help in managing your thyroid function effectively.
