Abstract: Introduction: To assess the effect of total thyroidectomy on Serum Testosterone present in patients with thyroid carcinoma. Method: This is a hospital - based prospective study carried out between November 2020 to November 2022 on patients diagnosed with a case of carcinoma thyroid who were admitted to J. N. Medical college and hospital. This study was done in the Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Rajiv Gandhi Centre of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. Patient's blood samples were collected and assessed for Serum Testosterone prior to and 3 months postoperatively after total thyroidectomy. Result: There was a decrease in the value of Serum Testosterone (P<0.001) when compared pre and post - operatively after 3 months of total thyroidectomy. Conclusion: There was a significant change in the hormonal status after thyroidectomy. There was a decrease in the value of Serum Testosterone. To our best knowledge, this was the first of a kind study to evaluate Serum Testosterone following thyroidectomy in cancer patients.
