What's going on with the middle section of the incision for thyroid cancer

If there is a bulge in the middle of the incision in thyroid cancer patients, it may be caused by poor healing, infection, cancer cell metastasis, etc., so it is recommended that the patient seek medical attention in time and treat it accordingly after a clear diagnosis, which is conducive to alleviating the symptoms.

1. Poor healing: after surgical resection of thyroid cancer patients, the local tissue growth will be more vigorous in the healing process, and the tissue healing takes a certain time, and local swelling may occur in the tissue healing process, which can be manifested as the phenomenon of the middle section of the incision.

2. Infection: If patients with thyroid cancer do not pay attention to the hygiene of the incision, it may lead to infection of the incision, which will cause swelling due to the stimulation of local tissues due to inflammation, which can be manifested as the phenomenon of bulging in the middle of the incision, and the patient is usually accompanied by fever and other symptoms. At this time, it is necessary to use iodophor disinfection in time, and use cefradine capsules, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs for anti-infection treatment according to the doctor's instructions;

3. Metastasis of cancer cells: If the cancer cells are not completely cleared after surgery and cancer cells metastasize, it may cause irritation to the lymph nodes, resulting in swollen lymph nodes, which can also be manifested as a bulging in the middle of the incision. Patients need further examination to confirm the condition, and then chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments, which are conducive to inhibiting the spread and metastasis of cancer cells.

For patients after thyroid cancer surgery, it is recommended to eat more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat, which is conducive to supplementing the nutrients needed by the body. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping the incision clean and dry to avoid infection, which is conducive to promoting the healing of the incision.
