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 allI've been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, and my doctor recommended surgery. I get frequent headaches and neck pain, plus it's hard to turn my head side to side. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments I could try first?
No, surgery isn't always the first option for cervical spondylosis. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain relievers, and lifestyle adjustments are often tried first. Surgery is usually reserved for cases where conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms or if there are signs of nerve compression or spinal cord damage.
