I heard about a new treatment that can fix an eardrum hole without surgery or skin grafts. Is this available in India? How effective is it and where can I find doctors who offer this?

Yes, the treatment you're inquiring about, typically referred to as "laser myringoplasty" or "laser myringotomy," is available in India. It's a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to repair minor eardrum perforations or meniscal tears without requiring skin grafts or traditional surgery.

I'm 19 and I've been masturbating every day, sometimes more than once. I've noticed that I've had a nosebleed a couple of times after doing it, and both times it was cold outside. Do you think there's any link between my frequent masturbation and these nosebleeds?

Your nosebleeds are likely more related to the cold, dry weather than to masturbation itself. However, if you notice a consistent pattern where masturbation seems to coincide with the nosebleeds, consider adjusting your environment (like using a humidifier) and monitoring your overall habits to ensure you're not causing irritation. If the nosebleeds continue or worsen, it might be a good idea to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and get personalized advice.

I'm a bit confused and worried about the results from my recent CT scan. It mentioned complete opacification of the left maxillary antrum and polypoid thickening on the right side. Could you help me understand what this means?
