Parathyroids Function
Hi Doctor ,I had total thyroidectomy due to Thyroid cancer, 4 Parathyroids were preserved, my surgery happened on 28th February it's almost 47 days , I am still using calcium supplement two times a day along with vitaminD3 (2000mg ). I had RAI as well on 31st March , currently taking 200mcg Eltroxin.
When Parathyroids are preserved when will the parathyroids start functioning again it's almost 50 days after surgery ?
My doctor told to reduce calcium supplement to one tablet a day but my Calcium decreased after taking 1 tablet per day what could be the reason?
Is there any other reason causing low calcium what diagnosis should I attend ?
