A member asked:
Thyroidectomized patient need replacement forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have had thyroid gland removed you will need thyroid replacement supplementation as you no longer have a gland that can produce thyroid hormone. Fortunately that is not a difficult thing as it would just be a matter of taking a pill daily for the rest of your life. Think of it as a vitamin supplement to provide what your body needs to function normally.
