My wife has been dealing with a CSF leak since March 21st what should we be doing at home to help her feel better? Also, any idea how much the surgery might cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While a CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leak is best treated under the supervision of a doctor, some initial conservative measures can be taken at home to manage symptoms and potentially help the leak heal. These include bed rest, increased fluid intake, and avoiding activities that increase head pressure The cost of CSF leak surgery in India varies, but generally, an endoscopic repair procedure can cost around ‚Çπ2.5 lakh. However, some cases may have lower costs, and in some instances, procedures have been performed free of cost

I've been diagnosed with a pituitary macro adenoma and my doctors are recommending surgery. I'm really worried about a few things is this surgery life-threatening? How exactly is the procedure done, like through the nose or some other way? Also, I've lost some vision in my left eye will surgery help restore it right away or will it take time to get back to normal?
Pituitary macroadenoma surgery is generally safe, though risks vary by case. The procedure is usually done transnasally (through the nose). If vision loss occurred due to pressure on the optic nerve, surgery can often help restore it, but recovery can take time.

My mom is 44 and has had lower back and leg pain for 12-15 years but still manages her daily work. We've seen multiple doctors and one mentioned possible nerve compression or spondylolisthesis based on her X-ray, suggesting spine infusion surgery. Since it's minimally invasive but she's still young, I'm worried is surgery really necessary or are there other treatments we can try? We're planning an MRI but unsure about the next steps
MRI will confirm diagnosis. If symptoms affect daily life, minimally invasive decompression surgery may help. Physiotherapy and core strengthening are first steps.
