Otolaryngology is a specialty of medicine which deals with ears, nose, and throat. It is also called otolaryngology-head and neck surgery because specialists are trained in both medicine and surgery. Doctors who specialize in this area are called otorhinolaryngologists, otolaryngologists, ENT doctors, ENT surgeons, or head and neck surgeons. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians. The most common reasons for patients to visit an otolaryngologist were problems with their ear, nose and throat. Otolaryngologists diagnose and manage diseases of the ears, nose, sinuses, larynx (voice box), mouth, and throat, as well as structures of the neck and face. Mostly these problems can be diagnosed through physical analysis, meaning that otolaryngologists have a hands-on approach to patient care.
Hearing loss, also called as hearing impairment, is a partial or complete inability to hear. A deaf person has little to no hearing. Hearing loss may arise in one or both ears. In some people, particularly older people, hearing loss can result in loneliness. Hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. Hearing loss may be caused by a number of factors like genetics, age, exposure to noise, some infections, birth complications, trauma to the ear, and certain medications or toxins. Hearing loss can be caused by many different reasons, some of which can be successfully treated with medicine or surgery, depending on the disease process. Hearing loss can be characterised by which part of the auditory system is damaged. There are three basic types of hearing loss conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss.
Disorders of the throat and larynx may denote inflammation and infections, prolonged inflammation, or anomalous growths that are more common among adults. Throat infections are particularly common among children, although adults may be affected as well probably had a sore throat. The cause is usually a viral infection, but other causes may comprise allergies, infection with strep bacteria or the leaking of stomach acids back up into the oesophagus, called GERD. Most throat problems are minor and go away on their own. Treatments are needed depend on the problem severity.
Speech disorders are a kind of throat disorder where normal speech is interrupted. This can mean stuttering, lisps. A person who is unable to speak due to a speech disorder is considered mute. Difficulties pronouncing sounds, or articulation disorders, and stuttering are some of the examples of speech disorders. One of the most commonly experienced speech disorders is stuttering. These disorders mainly affect the vocal cords, muscles and nerves of throat and other structures within the throat. People who have certain medical or developmental conditions may also have speech disorders. Speech disorders may be inherited, and they can develop over time.
Tonsillitis are most common disease which effect tonsils which is located in the throat region. another main problem that can occur in tonsils are tonsil stones . This are rare, they are possible. The main dangerous complications that may result from tonsil stones is deep infections in tonsils , which is generally known as an abscess. Large tonsil stones can damage and disrupt normal tonsil tissue. This can lead to significant swelling, inflammation, and infection. Some cases surgery myt be required to cure tonsli stones
Sleep apnea is a severe sleep disorder that occurs when breathing is interrupted during sleep. It is a common condition in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. They may occur more than 30 times or an hour. Typically, normal breathing then again starts pauses, sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound. In many cases, an apnea, or temporary pause in breathing, is caused due to the collapsing of tissue in the back of the throat. The muscles of the upper airway relax when people fall asleep. Not every person who snores has sleep apnea, and not everyone who has sleep apnea snores. Sleep apnea can make you feeling tired or unrefreshed when wake up in the morning even though you have had a full night of sleep.
Otolaryngologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to head and neck, specifically the ears, nose and throat. ENT surgery is often necessary as a treatment for conditions that affect the ear, nose or throat, when medication and other non-invasive treatments are ineffective. Otorhinolaryngology or ENT is one of the most diverse medical specialties with various sub-specialties like laryngology, pediatric, otology, neurotology, implantation otology, oncology, and rhinology and sinus surgery, among others. ENT surgery is also used in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery to correct deformities or injuries.
Laryngopharyngeal reflux is defined as the reflux of gastric content into larynx and pharynx. LPR is a condition that takes place in a person who has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acid made in the stomach travels up the esophagus in this condition. When that stomach acid gets up to the throat, it is called laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). LPR is caused by acid present in stomach which bubbles up into the throat as a result of (Gastroesophageal reflex disease) GERD. Fortunately, most cases do not require medical care. They can be managed with change in their lifestyle. People who have certain dietary habits, people who regularly wear tighter fitting or binding clothing, people who are obese, and people who are overstressed are more likely to have laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Same as the hearing trouble nasal condistion are also common.Nasal block, nasal conjestions and even commom cold ae are most frequent among them.As the our nasal septum is made up of cartilage it is easy for anyone to hav a temporary or permemnant nose damage. The lateral wall of each nasal cavity consists of the maxilla. . The paranasal sinuses are connected to the nasal cavity through small orifices called ostia. The nasal cavity is divided into two segments: the respiratory segment and the olfactory segment.
A nosebleed, also known as epistaxis, is the common form of bleeding from the nose. It is usually seen when the blood drains out through the nostrils. Nosebleeds are most often caused by local trauma but can also be caused by bacteria, nasal or sinus infections, and prolonged inhalation of dry air. Nosebleeds can be dramatic and terrifying. Fortunately, most epistaxis is not serious and can be managed at home, although sometimes medical treatment may be necessary. Sometimes in more severe cases, the blood can come up the nasolacrimal duct and out from the eye. Clotted and fresh blood can also flow down into the stomach and cause nausea and vomiting.
Nasal allergy is an inflammatory response to house dust, mold animal hair, and pollens. An allergen is a harmless substance that causes an allergic reaction. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, is an allergic response to specific allergens. Pollen is the most common allergen in seasonal allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is allergy symptoms that occur with the change of seasons. If you have nasal allergies, you may be used to sneezing and congestion which last entire the day. A runny or stuffy nose is one of the most common sign.
Head and neck conditions can be caused due to several health related issues neck pain , back pains , migrines are some among them, and tis also refer mainly to tumours that affect the head and neck areas including the nose and sinuses, the nasopharynx (area behind the nose just above the mouth and throat), the oral cavity (mouth), the thyroid glands (below the voice box), the oropharynx (throat), the larynx (voice box), the hypopharynx (inlet into the throat) and the salivary gland. These tumours can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). neck lumps are ae mainly an early symptom
Head and neck cancer is a group of tumours that starts inside the mouth, nose, throat, larynx, sinuses, or salivary glands. Cancers of head and neck usually begin in the squamous cells that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck. These squamous cell cancers are often denoted to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Head and neck cancers can also starts from the salivary glands, but salivary gland cancers are relatively uncommon. The symptoms of these cancers may include a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty in swallowing, and a change or hoarseness in the voice.
Head and neck oncology is the subspecialty of otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) that provides medical and surgical treatment for both benign and malignant tumours of the head and neck. Primary goal of the Head and Neck Oncology Program is to develop and support research and educational activities to ultimately improve detection, prevention, rehabilitation and increasethe quality of life issues concerning to head and neck cancer, and also for further development of translational, interdisciplinary research and educational programs.
ENT devices are equipment used for identification, therapy, or surgical treatment of any disorders related to the ear, nose, or throat, thereby helping to correct any problems related to hearing, smelling, snoring, or speaking. There are a wide range of ENT devices are available in the market consisting of endoscopes, hearing screening instruments, powered surgical tools, hearing aids, hearing implants, surgical devices which are handheld, balloon dilation devices which are used in sinus, CO2 lasers, image-guided surgery systems, ear tubes, nasal and otological packing material, and voice prosthesis devices. All these devices are intended for use only by or under the direction of a physician who is well trained and skilled in Technology. Before handling it is very important to read the directions to understand the contraindications, warnings, and precautions related with these devices.
Diagnosis and Treatment refers to the medical and surgical treatment of the most common and clinical conditions in the fast growing field of otorhinolaryngology. Otolaryngology head and neck surgery is a subspecialty in medicine that deals with medical and surgical controlling of conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, and the neck the care of the senses including smell, taste, and balance hearing fall under its field. As a specialty, it deals with other medical and surgical subspecialties including allergy and immunology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, haematology, neurology, neurosurgery, oncology, ophthalmology, paediatrics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pulmonology, radiation oncology, rehabilitation, rheumatology, thoracic surgery, among others. Further, the specialty includes the care of the young and the old, man and woman, as well as benign and malignant diseases.
This is the technique and process of creating various visual representations of the interior part of a body for clinical analysis and medical checkups , imaging techniques are really important now a days because it is easly to detect the dmages or any internal problems .Medical imaging in otorhinolarngology can be used for revealing internal structures hidden by the skin and tissues, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. several tumours or other inner ear defects can be detected by this.
Rehabilitation is a therapy to regain or improve function of body which has been lost or weakened. In ENT rehabilitation focus on Speech & language therapy to help in speaking and VRT (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy) focus to improve balance and also to minimise the experience of dizziness, improve patients stability while in motion, increase coordination, reduces falls and anxiety. It is difficult to provide a general outline of the VRT exercises because they are designed individually to and prescribed for each patient. Most of these exercises involve movements of the head and body to help your brain and to compensate from the inaccurate information they are receiving from their inner ear, and thus regain control over their balance.
