Question
A 25-year-old male has been feeling weak since last month, often sweating excessively, with decreased appetite, leading to weight loss. He was diagnosed with a thyroid adenoma after medical examination. What are the symptoms of thyroid adenoma?
Answer
Surgery on the thyroid gland can easily damage the parathyroid glands, which secrete parathyroid hormone. If damaged, it can lead to calcium deficiency in the body, which may cause symptoms such as excessive sweating, weakness, and palpitations. It is recommended to undergo electrolyte tests for medical evaluation.
