 Thyroidectomy- partial or complete surgery of your thyroid. Dangers, side effects and how to avoid thyroidectomy.

11 reasons to avoid partial or complete thyroidectomy.

Surgical removal of the thyroid gland, called thyroidectomy, is the oldest known treatment option for Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism. Surgery is also an option for people who have a very large goiter, and those who are allergic to, or who develop severe side effects from, the drugs used to treat hyperthyroidism. It is believed that Hyperthyroidism is permanently controlled in more than 90% of those who choose this option.

Hypothyroidism often occurs after thyroid surgery (or so called thyroidectomy), and people then have to take replacement thyroid hormone for the rest of their lives. Some complications of the partial or complete (full) thyroidectomy include paralysis of the vocal cords and damage to the parathyroid glands (the tiny glands behind the thyroid gland that control calcium levels in the blood). Here is a list of the possible complications after having a total or subtotal thyroidectomy:

1. Damage of the parathyroid glands that control the calcium level

 2. Paralysis of the vocal cords

3. Recurrent laryngeal nerve damage

 4. Hypoparathyroidism

 5. Medication for the rest of your life due to hypothyroidism

 6. Hypocalcemia

7. Post-operative bleeding

 8. Wound infection

 9. Keloid formation

 10. Visible scar on your neck

 11. It is permanent

 

 

So, before taking the decision to solve your Hyperthyroidism/ Graves' Disease problems with Thyroidectomy, consider the above mentioned dangers.

 I believe that once your symptoms are under control and your test are in normal range your eyes will start to improve. So besides treating the symptoms I would recommend treating the cause of Graves’ Disease as well.
