Thyroid disease is a disease that most people will experience. After discovering this disease, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner to identify the cause. Because the cause of this disease is very complex, it is necessary to identify the cause before knowing how to treat it. So now let's learn about the precautions for thyroid puncture?
What are the precautions for thyroid puncture
No special preparation is required, but before the procedure, the doctor will evaluate your condition to see if a puncture can be performed, such as coagulation function, mental state, etc. These are things that the doctor is concerned about, so just follow the instructions. Because some people may feel nervous and increase their energy consumption during puncture, especially those who queue late and are at risk of low blood sugar if hungry. It is recommended that everyone eat on time. If waiting for a long time, it is also a good choice to bring some sugar or other energy boosting foods with you.
What to pay attention to after completing thyroid puncture
Because the blood supply to the thyroid gland is abundant, in order to avoid postoperative bleeding, it is necessary to press it with your hand for 20-30 minutes. After observing and confirming that there are no abnormal conditions, the doctor will either let you go back or send you to the pathology department. Another thing to note is that although there was no bleeding at the time, after returning home, do not lift weights to avoid increasing pressure on the neck and causing bleeding from secondary injuries.
Thyroid disease can be treated as long as the cause is identified, so patients do not need to worry too much, be nervous, or be counterproductive. Patients must pay attention to adjusting their mentality in life, and at the same time, they should pay attention to appropriate exercise in daily life. On the one hand, it can strengthen their physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can improve their mood. They should also pay attention to their dietary habits.
