Chapter 331 Must Pay Attention
Then Wei Ping closed the connection.
"Minor illnesses must be taken seriously. Don't delay. If you wait until they become serious before trying to treat them, it will be too late. What could be more important than life? Money? Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die. Money can't buy health! I hope this can draw everyone's attention!"
Wei Ping's words were made into a short video and directly uploaded to the Internet, allowing more people to see them.
XX Live also proactively provides source videos for everyone to create secondary works.
As long as it doesn't cross Wei Ping's red line, he will allow it.
As long as his video is not used for commercial purposes or defamation, it is allowed.
He also hopes that everyone will know about these things and attract more people's attention.
"Next, let's connect to our third friend!"
Wei Ping clicked the connection.
At this time, a ceiling appeared on the phone.
"Doctor Wei."
A girl's voice came from the other side.
Maybe this girl doesn't want people to see her.
This involves privacy issues, and everyone understands that.
So not many people ask why?
"Hello!"
"Doctor Wei, I'm nineteen years old!"
Judging from the situation, nineteen years old is the age when one is in one’s prime.
It is understandable that she is afraid to let others see her appearance.
"Okay!" Wei Ping said.
"A year ago, I noticed my neck was a little thicker. At the time, I thought I had gained weight, but later I started to feel very uncomfortable, like I had chronic pharyngitis, and I didn't take it seriously. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I had a type 4a thyroid nodule. I was worried about the risk of it becoming malignant, so he recommended surgery."
"Is there a report? Let me see!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, she fiddled with it a bit and several reports were sent to Wei Ping.
Wei Ping took a look.
"According to the ultrasound report's description of the nodules, they exhibit irregular shapes, unclear boundaries, an aspect ratio greater than 1, and gravel-like fine calcifications. These findings may indicate that the nodules are malignant. But what I want to say here is that even if the thyroid nodules are malignant, there is no need to worry too much. Because thyroid cancer is one of the most curable cancers, early detection and treatment are very important."
"Yes, that's what the doctor said!"
"Let me see your neck!"
Wei Ping said.
"good!"
The camera then moved directly to her neck.
Wei Ping took a look and found that everything was just as he had judged.
This could be benign or malignant, with papillary thyroid cancer being more likely.
"I took a look. Do you have any other requests?"
"I'd like to ask if surgery will have a significant impact on my neck, such as leaving scars."
"Yes, traditional surgery involves cutting into the thyroid gland, and any surgery carries risks."
"Is there any minimally invasive surgery? It can make the scar smaller." The girl said again.
At this time, some people didn't understand.
What is more important, life or scars?
But Wei Ping knew that girls all love to be beautiful. She was only nineteen years old, and no one wanted to have a scar on her neck.
"Yes! But your condition is not suitable for minimally invasive surgery. If you had discovered and treated it early, you could have undergone minimally invasive surgery!"
Still the same result.
People don't take good care of their bodies.
Always treat your body like this.
That won't work.
The girl thought about it.
"Is there any other way?"
"Yes, there are two surgical methods. Perhaps you can consider them."
"Doctor Wei, please speak."
"Axillary thyroidectomy and transmammary thyroidectomy are two surgeries you can consider."
Since surgery cannot be performed on the neck, the surgeon will consider operating on other places and leaving scars elsewhere.
The girl asked at this time.
"Which one do you think is more suitable for me?"
"First, listen to my analysis of the pros and cons of these two surgeries, and then make your choice. After all, your subjective opinion is more important. All I can give you is a choice. As for which one you choose, it's your freedom."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Doctor Wei."
"No, then let's talk about the advantages of axillary thyroidectomy. There are three main advantages. Besides avoiding scars on the neck, axillary thyroidectomy may be safer for patients with contraindications to neck surgery or cervical spondylosis. Special instruments can be used during the operation to observe the nerves, blood vessels, and other structures of the thyroid gland, allowing for more precise surgical operations. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The indications are limited, the scope of application is relatively narrow, and the operation is more difficult and requires more skilled techniques."
After hearing this, the girl said nothing.
Wei Ping continued, "The advantages of transmammary thyroidectomy are that the incision is concealed, making the postoperative wound less noticeable. However, the disadvantages are that for patients with larger thyroid glands, intraoperative manipulation is limited, making the surgery more difficult. Furthermore, because the surgical area is affected by factors such as breast size, the local recurrence rate is slightly higher."
Wei Ping explained it very carefully.
At this time, the girl said directly: "I choose axillary thyroidectomy!"
Because she saw the high rate of local recurrence, she directly chose axillary thyroidectomy.
"Okay, then you can discuss with the doctor as soon as possible to finally determine the best surgical plan." Wei Ping said again.
Yes, he only provides a suggestion. What to do specifically is up to the girl and the doctor.
