I was just diagnosed with cholesteatoma in my left ear and currently using ciplox ear drops for pus discharge. Wondering if surgery can be delayed for a while what are the risks if I put it off? How long is it safe to wait before getting the procedure done?

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 have DNS and trouble breathing through my nose, no sneezing though. Can you check the CT scan I attached and let me know if I really need septoplasty surgery?

A deviated septum, causing nasal obstruction and breathing difficulty, may or may not require surgery. A CT scan can help assess the severity of the deviation and guide treatment decisions. If the deviation is significant and causing symptoms like difficulty breathing, chronic sinus infections, or nasal obstruction impacting quality of life, septoplasty surgery might be recommended. However, if the deviation is mild and not causing significant symptoms, surgery might not be necessary. A consultation with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist is crucial to determine the best course of action based on your specific situation and the CT scan results.

I'm having a problem with my right earit feels blocked, and I can hardly hear anything out of it. This has been going on for three days now and it all started suddenly when I woke up one morning. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Right ear blockage can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, fluid accumulation, or an ear infection. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help soften the earwax and clear the blockage. You can also try using a warm compress on the ear to relieve any discomfort. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
