I've been diagnosed with a medium-sized benign vestibular schwannoma in my right ear about a year ago. My symptoms are just tinnitus and mild sensorineural hearing loss. I'm confused about treatment options should I try Ayurveda or go straight for allopathic surgery? The doctors recommended stereotactic radiosurgery but I'm not sure what's best for my case

View allMy doctor recommended spine surgery but it's too expensive for us to afford right now I heard about schemes like NTR health seva that might help cover the costs but I'm not sure how they work or if they apply to this situation Could someone guide me on what options might be available for financial assistance with spinal procedures
If your spine surgery is recommended and deemed medically necessary but is too expensive, you could explore government schemes like NTR Vaidya Seva in Andhra Pradesh, or other similar initiatives in Maharashtra if applicable. These schemes can provide financial assistance or even cover the entire cost of certain procedures, but eligibility criteria and the specific procedures covered may vary

What exactly happens during keyhole surgery for a slipped disc do they remove the whole disc or just part of it I'm a bit confused about how much they take out
In keyhole surgery for a slipped disc (also known as microdiscectomy or minimally invasive discectomy), the goal is to remove the damaged or herniated portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve, not necessarily the entire disc. The surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to access the disc and remove the offending tissue.
