Do I have to be checked further after an operation or radioiodine therapy?

Yes, outpatient checks must be carried out in order to assess the success of the therapy, on the other hand to detect a thyroid hormone deficiency (hypofunction) at an early stage and to treat an untreated borderline hypofunction that is present in the long term with hormone administration, which may in turn lead to goitre, possibly with nodule formation!
