A member asked:
I had my thioridazine remove due to cancer and i am hyperthyroidism what can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid removal can be either complete, or just a section. In either way, thyroid hormone will need to be supplemented/replaced. Your Dr should have you on Levothyroxine or a similar medication to prevent symptoms. Low thyroid levels can result in fatigue, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, hoarseness, weight gain, constipation.
