I'm 17 and getting a tonsillectomy around March 6th or 7th but my period is due on the 5th. I'm worried about having surgery during my period. Is there a way to prepone my periods so it doesn't clash with the surgery date?

Having surgery during your period won't affect the outcome of your tonsillectomy, but it can be uncomfortable. While there are methods to prepone your period, it's best to consult with your doctor or a gynecologist to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. According to PRMA, experienced medical personnel are used to dealing with this and can provide you with sanitary products if needed

View allI was diagnosed with sulcus vocalis in my right vocal cord and my doctor recommended voice therapy for a month but also mentioned surgery as an option. Can voice therapy alone fix this permanently or is surgery really necessary? I'm worried about going under the knife if therapy could work just as well.

I've been dealing with chronic recurrent sinusitis that causes constant nose blockage, throat congestion, and occasional mild cough. It only gets better once all the mucus drains, but sometimes it takes weeks or even over a month to clear. I've tried Montecope, Sinarest syrup, and Allegra 120 without much relief. Steam inhalation helps a bit, but I really don't want to go for surgery. What else can I do to manage this chronic sinus issue?
To better manage your chronic sinusitis, consider implementing a more comprehensive approach. Focus on keeping sinuses moist, reducing inflammation, and addressing potential underlying causes. If symptoms persist, consider consulting an ENT specialist.

I've been noticing something a bit off with my throat lately. One of my tonsils is bigger than the other, and though it's really swollen, it doesn't hurt. It has holes in it, and every now and then I notice these small white stone-like things coming out that smell pretty bad. On top of that, my throat has these red bumps that just won't go away. And when I swallow, it feels like there's something on the side with the swollen tonsil. Could this be serious, like tonsil cancer? Should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance on what this might be.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis with tonsil stones. Tonsillitis can cause one tonsil to be larger than the other, along with swelling, holes, and the presence of white stones that emit a foul odor. The red bumps on the wall of your throat may be related to the inflammation in the area. The sensation of something being present when you swallow could be due to the swollen tonsil. I recommend you start with a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. Use a throat gargle like Chlorhexidine mouthwash to help with the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by an ENT specialist may be necessary.
