After Iodine-131 is treated, be aware!

Iodine-131 treatment is a common option for amphibian patients, which is simple and effective, but there are also some areas that require special attention after treatment. Today, let’s talk about the little things we have to know to help people better recover and live! I. Dietary 1. Iodine supplementation or Iodine taboo? Ingestion of iodine will need to be controlled in the early stages of treatment, as excess iodine may affect treatment effectiveness. After some time, however, on the advice of a doctor, Iodine-containing food can be duly ingestion. 2. Nutritional equilibrium contributes to body recovery by eating more protein-rich food (e.g. fish, eggs, skinny meat). Avoid high salt, sugar and fat food and control weight. II. Lifestyle adjustment 1. After avoiding intense exercise of iodine-131, thyroid function may not be fully restored at once, avoiding overwork or intense exercise and choosing moderate aerobics, such as walking or yoga. 2. Regularity ensures adequate sleep, avoids the need to stay up late and creates a good habit of getting up early and helps to improve metabolic and endocrine balance. iii. “Small details” in daily life 1. The exposure to iodine-131 treatment with family members will result in a small amount of radioactivity, with the first few days of treatment to avoid excessive contact with children and pregnant women and to keep appropriate distance. 2. Drinking more water in personal hygiene and helping to remove excess radioactive material from the body; for example, flushing water several times after the toilet, washing clothes separately and maintaining good hygiene habits. Periodic review may result in a change in thyroid function and, in some cases, a reduction of the thyroid function, which is important for iodine-131 treatment. It is recalled that the levels of thyroid hormones are monitored on time and that the drugs are adjusted in a timely manner when necessary. 5. Mentally regulated post-promotive thyroid function fluctuations may affect emotions, participate appropriately in relaxing activities, and maintain a good mind, if necessary with the help of a doctor or psychologist. Iodine-131 treatment is a “sword” of the arcade, but we also need to work with scientific lifestyles and patient follow-up to achieve the desired efficacy.
