My mom has a CSF leak from her right nose. The ENT surgeon recommends surgery, but the general medicine and critical care doctors say it's not urgent and suggest getting a third opinion from a neurologist or another ENT specialist. She's on medication now and showing some improvement compared to before. Should we go ahead with the endoscopic surgery or wait to see if it heals on its own?

Given the differing opinions and your mother's improving condition, it's wise to delay the surgery and explore conservative treatment options. The ENT surgeon's recommendation for surgery is one option, but the general medicine and critical care doctors suggest a less urgent approach and seeking a second or third opinion. Since the condition is improving, a period of observation and conservative treatment is warranted.

View allI've noticed that my tongue and the roof of my mouth have this white to yellowish color. There aren't any white or red spots, but I'm kind of worried about what it might be. Is it something serious? Also, I've had this weird feeling like there's hair or something at the back of my throat for a while now, but it goes away when I eat or drink. Are these two things connected? If not, what could be causing this strange sensation?
PCOS can be complex, and I'll address your concerns: *Having PCOS with Regular Periods* 1. *Yes, it's possible*: PCOS is a spectrum disorder, and some women may experience regular periods despite having other PCOS symptoms. 2. *Ovulation may still be irregular*: Even with regular periods, ovulation might be infrequent or irregular, affecting fertility. *Infertility Risks* 1. *Increased risk*: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women due to ovulation issues and hormonal imbalances. 2. *Not inevitable*: Many women with PCOS can conceive with proper treatment and management. *Acne Treatment* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Discuss your acne concerns with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment approach. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: Birth control pills or anti-androgen medications might be prescribed to regulate hormones and reduce acne. *Normal DHT Levels and PCOS* 1. *DHT not always elevated*: Some women with PCOS may have normal DHT levels. 2. *Other hormonal imbalances*: PCOS is characterized by multiple hormonal imbalances, not just DHT. *Bilateral Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) vs. PCOS* 1. *PCO is a characteristic of PCOS*: Bilateral PCO is a common feature of PCOS, but not all women with PCO have PCOS. 2. *PCOS diagnosis requires multiple criteria*: A diagnosis of PCOS requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings.

I've been dealing with thick, sticky mucus in my nose and throat constantly, and now there's this weird cracking sound between my ear and nose. I've attached my CT scan do you think I should consider surgery right away or wait a few more months until the pandemic settles down? I'm not sure how urgent this is.
