What happens to the numbness of the hands and feet in patients with thyroid cancer after surgery?

The cause of numbness in the hands and feet of thyroid cancer patients after surgery is due to the decrease in parathyroid function, which regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism. In general, each person has 4 parathyroid glands, which are located close to the back of the thyroid gland and depend on the branches of the thyroid blood vessels for nutrition. During the operation, the blood supply to the parathyroid glands is affected or the blood flow of the parathyroid glands is blocked, which affects the function of the parathyroid glands and causes numbness of the hands and feet.

There are many reasons for cold feet and hands, and the specific circumstances are as follows:

1. Abnormal thyroid function: For example, hypothyroidism, you may feel cold hands and feet. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check thyroid function, and if hypothyroidism is indeed present, thyroid hormone supplementation is sufficient;

2. Yang deficiency syndrome: If there is no abnormality in the thyroid gland, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it may be yang deficiency syndrome. The maintenance of the body's surface temperature is mainly achieved through the warming effect of qi, if the yang energy in the body is insufficient, the yang temperature effect will decrease, and the hands and feet will feel cold.

At the same time, you may only drink hot water or eat hot food, otherwise you will feel cold pain in your lower abdomen, diarrhea, and loose stools. It is recommended to eat ingredients that have a warming effect, such as dog meat, mutton, or condiments such as pepper, chili, green onion, ginger, garlic, cumin, etc. At the same time, you can also speed up blood circulation through exercise, and you can also take Aconite Lizhong Pill and Jinkui Kidney Qi Pill to achieve the effect of warming yang.

In addition, through traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion and cupping, it also helps to regulate the symptoms of yang deficiency;

3. Yang Qi stagnation: Mainly due to the fact that Yang Qi stagnation does not reach the end of the four ends, it will also cause cold hands and feet. You can take drugs that have the effect of relieving qi and depression, such as Xiaoyaosan and Bupleurum Shugansan, so that the stagnation and yang qi can be smoothed, and the symptoms of cold hands and feet will disappear.

Thyroid cancer with total thyroidectomy may cause postoperative hypocalcemia, which is caused by blood supply or trauma to the parathyroid glands from thyroid surgery. According to statistics, the proportion of numbness in the hands and feet during the perioperative period can be as high as more than 50%, which can be improved by taking calcium supplements; Some patients (about 15%) may cause hypoparathyroidism due to the extensive extent of the tumor, and need to take calcium for a long time, or even need intravenous infusion to replace calcium.

1.The parathyroid glands are likely to be damaged, and the parathyroid glands regulate calcium metabolism, so attention should be paid to calcium supplementation. There are 4 parathyroid glands in the human body, and if one or more of them are damaged, there will be low calcium in a short period of time, and symptoms such as numbness and convulsions in the hands and feet will appear, but the undamaged parathyroid glands can increase compensation after a period of time, and these symptoms will disappear.

2.You can eat meat dishes, pay attention to rest, and strengthen nutrition.

It may be due to damage to the paraglands during the operation, and the calcium will be reduced, and there will be improvement after a while. You can eat meat dishes, but don't eat seafood, especially kelp seaweed.

I'm just like you, but I'm normal now, and I couldn't drive when I was numb. Two hundred pieces can be managed for two or three years. Calcium tablets are useless, I eat 150 a bottle is useless.

This is mainly due to the need to cut certain blood vessels during thyroid nodule surgery, which affects the blood supply to the parathyroid glands or obstructs the blood flow of the parathyroid glands. Numbness in the hands and feet is often relieved by appropriate calcium supplementation such as Calcci D tablets, which will gradually disappear about 2 months after surgery as the blood supply is restored or the congestion resides.
