Question 1

I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma and need to understand the surgery options traditional tools vs laser-assisted like KTP laser. Which method has lower risks of hearing loss and recurrence? If laser is better, are there experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai who use this technique?

Accepted Answer

Laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery, particularly using a KTP laser, has shown potential for reduced risks of hearing loss and recurrence compared to traditional methods. KTP lasers can minimize mechanical trauma and help achieve complete disease removal. To find experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai using this technique, research hospitals and clinics specializing in otology (ear, nose, and throat) and inquire about their experience with KTP laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery.

Question 2

I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a throat ulcer I got treated for about three weeks ago. I saw an ENT specialist and took all the prescribed medication. While the ulcer seems to be healed, I'm worried because I still can't talk or get my voice back. It's been over three weeks since this started and I'm really concerned. What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

go for ent

I'm dealing with really bad nasal blockage because of something called hypertrophy tubernoid. Do you think it's okay to use a homeopathy nasal spray and Otrivin within, like, 10 minutes of each other? I'm just trying to figure out how to get some relief.
