What happens if my thyroid gland has being removed?
when i was 13 i had one of my thyroid gland removed.
i think we have two thyroid glands and one of mine has being removed!
can anyone tell me what kind of side effects i could have with only ONE thyroid gland.
i think am getting less energy.
could you also tell me what kind of treatments i could have for thyroid deficiency?
You only have one thyroid, you just had one side removed.
Same thing happened to me when I was 15. I am 22 now and have no problems.
If you do have a thyroid deficiency (Hypothyroidism), your Doctor would probably prescribe you to Synthroid or Armour. They replace the hormones that the thyroid produces.
well my friend had them removed through cancer, and she had problems controlling her weight for some reason. thats all i know.
I have hyperthyroidism and I was told that if I had to have part of my thyroid gland I could take T3 and T4 replacement hormones to keep my thyroid going at a regular pace, I am taking thyroid medicine though, which in a way is like having part of my thyroid gone, and so far I have had a little less energy because i’m not as jumpy, and my hair started to fall out, but my doctor said that my body should regulate itself, i’m sure that if you talk to your doctor he could give you some medicine to help regulate it and eventually all should be well inside your body
You may also have some issues mainting a stable weight, so you should keep track of your diet…
