Our state-of-the-art facilities in Hyderabad are equipped with modern technology to ensure high-quality care and successful outcomes for all our patients.
Q: How do I know if I need thyroid surgery? A: Thyroid surgery may be necessary if you have a thyroid nodule, thyroid cancer, goiter, or hyperthyroidism that hasn’t responded to other treatments. Our specialists will conduct thorough evaluations to determine if surgery is the best option for you.
Q: What are the risks associated with thyroid surgery? A: As with any surgery, risks include complications from anesthesia, infection, and bleeding. Specific to thyroid surgery, there is a risk of damage to the nearby parathyroid glands and the nerves that control vocal cords, potentially affecting your voice. Our surgical team uses precise techniques to minimize these risks.
Q: What is the recovery time for thyroid surgery? A: Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery performed and the individual patient. Most patients typically spend one night in the hospital and resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Complete recovery, including the possibility of returning to work, often occurs within 2-4 weeks.
Q: Will I need to take thyroid medication after surgery? A: Depending on the extent of the thyroid removal, you may need to take thyroid hormone replacement medications to maintain normal hormone levels. Our endocrinology specialists will guide you through this adjustment.
