I'm really concerned and wondering, can smoking actually cause pain in my right testicle? If that's possible, what might be the reasons behind it? How should I go about diagnosing this issue? Please help me figure this out.

Coblation adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove enlarged adenoids. Here's how it differs from traditional surgery:

Traditional Adenoidectomy

1. Removal of adenoids: Adenoids are completely removed using a curette or suction cautery.
2. More invasive: Requires more tissue disruption and bleeding.

Coblation Adenoidectomy

1. Partial removal of adenoids: Only the obstructive portion of the adenoids is removed.
2. Less invasive: Uses a coblation wand to dissolve and remove adenoid tissue, reducing bleeding and tissue damage.
3. Faster recovery: Typically results in less post-operative pain and faster recovery.

Benefits of Coblation Technique

1. Reduced bleeding: Coblation technique reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing.
2. Less post-operative pain: Coblation adenoidectomy typically results in less pain and discomfort.
3. Shorter hospital stay: Patients often require a shorter hospital stay.

Potential Side Effects of Coblation Technique

1. Temporary voice changes: Some patients may experience temporary voice changes or nasal regurgitation.
2. Nasal bleeding: Rarely, patients may experience nasal bleeding or infection.
