Question 1

i  would like to ask you if total thyroidectomy is a reason for my two  miscarriages?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: About 25% of early pregnancies result in spontaneous miscarriages. Therefore two miscarriages are not out of the ordinary. Do take the medication prescribed by your doctor to replace the hormone made naturally by the thyroid gland.
Wish you good health.

Question 2

what is the risk of miscarriage after the heartbeat is seen on a 6 week ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Less than 5%: Very reassuring.

Question 3

can smoking a juul a lot or any e-cigarette in general cause miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Smoking "Juul" ?'s: Smoking anything, including "Juul or E-cigarettes" can contribute to a potential miscarriage. There are many added components to E-cigarettes which are toxic and can affect pregnancy and life itself adversely.

Question 4

had a natural miscarriage in oct and have had a normal cycle six weeks after and now i have on and off periods for five days very heavy  came 10 day e?

Accepted Answer

Cycle after miscarry: After a miscarriage, the usual advice is to wait 3 months of cycling before trying again to make sure your body gets back to normal. This not unusual but  I recommend that you review this with your doctor to make sure that all is well. You didn't describe the circumstances of your miscarriage so your dr would be able to make some sense out of this for you.

Question 5

what are good diets after thyroidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Why thyroidectomy?: Hi. Was it thyroid cancer? Most likely reason for total thyroidectomy. Best diet: healthy one! Whole grains, nuts, legumes, fruits &amp; veggies, healthy oils (canola &amp; olive), lean meats, nonfat dairy; little or no white flour, white rice, simple sugar, high fructose corn syrup. Best of luck with your thyroid cancer!

Question 6

how do you know if your wife has miscarried?

Accepted Answer

Several issues: Was she truly pregnant?
Did she have then an unusual or heavy period or pass some tissue.
More cramping with the passage.
Is she for sure not pregnant now?
Clarity would come from OB exam and perhaps ultrasound.
Miscarriage is not uncommon and can be variable by timing and symptoms.

Question 7

after repeated miscarriages what can be done?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You need to speak to your Ob/Gyn doctor. There are many reasons you could be miscarrying. Some are treatable some aren't. But you would need a physical exam and testing by your doctor.

Question 8

what's the recovery time from a thyroidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Normally a few days: For routine thyroid surgery, such as for graves disease or a benign nodule, surgery can be done on an outpatient basis and recovery is fairly fast.  Hormone replacement begins immediately.  For cancer surgery, the procedure may be more extensive and recovery may be longer.  If there are complications, such as low blood calcium, or a hoarse voice, then other outpatient treatments will be needed.

Question 9

my question is should i undergo thyroidectomy?

Accepted Answer

What for?: There are many reasons to have a thyroidectomy:  cancer, suspicious nodules, goiter or nodule with compressive symptoms, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, genetic syndromes with high likelihood of cancer.  You should be seen by a surgeon who does a lot of thyroid procedures and have a full discussion about your reasons.  If you are having trouble deciding get a second opinion.

Question 10

what are the common complications of thyroidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism: Removing the gland will always cause hypothyroidism. Even with careful efforts to spare the parathyroid glands, it is possible to develop hypo parathyroidism and have problems with low calcium (which causes tetany, severe muscle cramping, and heart problems).
