I'm really worried because I had a tympanoplasty before, and it didn't work out. The doctors mentioned that if I decide to try again, there's only a 50% chance of success. I'm feeling unsure about what to do next. Could you provide some guidance on this situation?

View allI've been having this strange issue where every time I sneeze, there's this really bad smell in my nose. I tried washing my nose thoroughly, and it seems to help with the smell. So I'm guessing it might have something to do with mucus. It's only started happening recently, maybe around 2 or 3 times, but the smell is definitely unpleasant. Should I be worried about this for my health, or is it just a weird, harmless phase?
This bad smell you are experiencing when you sneeze could be due to a condition called atrophic rhinitis. In atrophic rhinitis, the lining of the nasal passages becomes inflamed and thins out, leading to a foul odor. It can be caused by various factors such as chronic sinus infections, nasal polyps, or environmental irritants. To help manage this condition, you can try using saline nasal sprays to keep the nasal passages moist and prevent the buildup of dried mucus. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or nasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. If this issue persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

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
