Thymoma is a tumor of thymus, and the common treatment of thymoma is surgery. Before the operation, patients should know something about the operation, make good physical and psychological preparations before the operation, and pay attention to conditioning their bodies after the operation in order to recover as soon as possible.

What sequela does thymoma operation have? The following three sequelae: myasthenia gravis, pure aplastic anemia, nephrotic syndrome nephritis.

1, myasthenia gravis

It has long been found that thymoma may cause myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis can be clinically divided into ocular muscle type, trunk type and medulla oblongata type. The symptoms of ocular muscle type include drooping eyelids, diplopia and long-term fatigue. Trunk-type symptoms are that if you go farther, you have to sit down and rest, and the upper limb extension is not lasting; The symptoms of medulla oblongata type are difficulty in swallowing and chewing, and even respiratory muscle paralysis. When respiratory muscle paralysis occurs, artificial respiration must be assisted.

2. Pure red cell aplastic anemia

Pure red cell aplastic anemia is one of the diseases coexisting with thymoma. It can be divided into primary and secondary tumors, drugs and infections. Experiments show that the causes of autoimmune reaction of erythrocyte antigens are unknown, and these antigens may be in thymus. Thymoma has no direct effect on the growth of red blood cells, but can enhance the sensitivity of immune system, or thymoma is induced by highly sensitive proliferation system.

3. Nephrotic syndrome nephritis

The relationship between the disease and thymoma is not clear, which may be part of the systemic manifestations of some tumors. The pathogenesis may be the cross reaction between the antigen-antibody complex of glomerulonephritis and thymoma.

Don't be nervous about these sequelae after operation, and treat them reasonably according to the doctor's advice. Pay more attention to rest, diet and nutrition, and work and rest rules in life, which will play a certain role in postoperative physical recovery. What's the problem? Be healthy and help you.
