In addition, rest, diet, and medication are also needed after surgery to promote recovery and prevent complications. For special groups such as pregnant and lactating women, surgical treatment of hyperthyroidism needs to be more cautious. During pregnancy, hyperthyroidism may affect the fetus, so it needs to be treated under close supervision of a doctor.
