ENT(Ear Nose Throat): Condition & Treatments

Adenoids

Adenoids are small lumps of lymphoid tissue located posterior to the nasal cavity, in the roof of the nasopharynx, where the nose blends into the throat. They play a major role in younger children helping them fight ear, nose and throat infections. After 3 years of age they are no longer needed. Adenoids generally reach their maximum size when your child is between three to five years of age and then begin to shrink by age seven and can hardly be seen in the late teens. Due to infections, adenoids swell up and block the nose which can sometimes lead to breathing problems during sleep. It can also be a major cause of snoring.

Epistaxis (Nosebleed)

Epistaxis is medical terminology for nosebleeds. Generally, it is not caused by any underlying illness. Bleeding in this condition may range from a minor flow to a strong flow, enabling consequences from minor annoyance to life-threatening conditions. The blood may flow down into the stomach and cause vomiting or nausea. The nose part of the body is exposed and is rich in blood vessels. These blood vessels may bleed due to several reasons. Some of them include facial trauma, drying out of the nasal membrane, crust, or crack due to dryness in the climate. They are located in the inner lining of the nose.

Nasal Congestion (Airway Obstruction)

As its name suggests, nasal airway obstruction is a condition where the nasal passage gets blocked and makes it difficult for an individual to breathe through his nose. Sometimes the cause of nasal airway obstruction is enlarged turbinates. Turbinates are small, bony structures located in the nasal passages that are covered with mucous membranes. This condition makes everyday activities such as eating, speaking, and sleeping more difficult.

Ruptured Eardrum Surgery

Eardrum perforation refers to a hole or rupture in the eardrum, a thin membrane that separates the ear canal and the middle ear. Another medical name for eardrum is tympanic eardrum. The middle ear is connected to the nose by the Eustachian tube, which equalizes pressure in the middle ear.

Thyroid Nodule

The thyroid gland is a small endocrine gland located at the base of the neck, just above the breastbone. Thyroid nodules are solid, sometimes fluid-filled lumps that develop within the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules are usually asymptomatic and are rarely malignant. They are often diagnosed at a routine medical check-up or scan. However, some thyroid nodules may become large and present with clinical symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and breathing. Typically, thyroid nodules do not require any treatment. However, they may sometimes require radioactive iodine therapy or surgical removal of the gland. Symptoms of Thyroid Nodule Thyroid nodules are asymptomatic. They are diagnosed only during a routine neck exam or an imaging test for another reason, such as parathyroid disease, trauma, carotid artery disease, or cervical spine pain. Thyroid nodules present symptoms based on the type of nodule developed. They are listed below: Large nodules pressing against other structures in the neck can cause symptoms such as: A visible goitre or enlarged thyroid gland Hoarseness or change in voice Severe pain in the neck Difficulty in breathing, especially when lying down flat Difficulty in swallowing food Overactive thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormones and likely causes symptoms such as: Warm and sweaty skin Increased appetite Rapid pulse and palpitations Restlessness and poor sleep Nervousness or anxiety Tremors Skin blushing or flushing Weight loss Frequent bowel movements Irregular menstrual periods Older people with a nodule that produces excess thyroid hormone may present vague symptoms, such as: Fatigue Memory loss Palpitations Chest pain Hashimoto's disease: When thyroid hormone is being produced in lower quantities. Symptoms include: Dry skin Face swelling Fatigue Hair loss Constipation Irregular menstrual periods Feeling cold or chilly Weight gain Types of Thyroid Nodule Different types of thyroid nodules that are considered benign include: Toxic nodules that produce excessive thyroid hormones leading to hyperthyroidism. Multinodular goitres have numerous nodules. They may also produce excessive thyroid hormone and may impinge on other structures. Thyroid cysts are full of fluid, sometimes with other debris. They may happen after an injury. Causes of Thyroid Nodule Several conditions may cause nodules to develop in the thyroid gland. They are as follows: Overgrowth of Normal Thyroid Tissue: An overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue is referred to as thyroid adenoma. It is a benign condition, and its cause is unclear. It is not considered serious unless it presents any symptoms. Some thyroid adenomas may cause hyperthyroidism. Thyroid cyst: Fluid-filled cavities called cysts that develop in the thyroid gland and may commonly occur due to the degeneration of thyroid adenomas. Cysts are usually benign but may occasionally contain some malignant components. Chronic inflammation of the thyroid: Hashimoto's disease is a thyroid disorder that can cause thyroid inflammation and result in enlarged nodules. This often is associated with hypothyroidism. Multinodular goitre: A multinodular goitre contains multiple distinct nodules within the goitre. Thyroid cancer: The chances that a nodule would turn malignant are low. However, a large and hard nodule that causes pain and discomfort may require medical attention. Iodine deficiency: Low intake of iodine in the diet can develop thyroid nodules in the thyroid gland. Certain other factors that increase the risk of thyroid cancer are: ○ A family history of thyroid or other endocrine cancers ○ History of radiation exposure from medical therapy or nuclear fallout. Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodule Diagnosing a thyroid nodule involves a physical examination and a medical history taken by the specialist. Some tests that the doctor may recommend are as follows: Fine Needle Biopsy: A thyroid fine needle biopsy is a procedure to diagnose whether the nodule is cancerous or benign. This helps formulate the correct treatment plan. The method involves numbing the biopsy site, after which a thin gauge needle is inserted to obtain a sample for testing. The patient can return to work the same day.  Thyroid Scanning: A thyroid scan gives an image of the thyroid gland taken after a low dose of a radioactive isotope is injected or swallowed. It (radioactive isotope) is typically taken up by the thyroid cells. The scan provides information on whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning (also called hot nodule) or not. If it is not a hot nodule, the need for a fine needle biopsy is eliminated since hot nodules can rarely be malignant. However, if it is a hot nodule, it can be treated with radioiodine therapy or surgery. Ultrasonography: In this procedure, high-frequency sound waves pass through the skin and are reflected in the machine to create detailed thyroid images. Small nodules ranging from 2-3mm can also be visualized through ultrasonography. It helps distinguish thyroid cysts from solid nodules. It can be used as a lead during fine needle biopsy to aspirate the thyroid nodules. Blood tests may be advised to assess thyroid hormone levels. Treatment of Thyroid Nodule Treatment of thyroid nodules depends on their type. Some of the treatment modalities are listed here: Watchful waiting: In benign thyroid nodules, the doctor may recommend only monitoring the symptoms. At this stage, no treatment is required. Radioactive iodine: Radioactive iodine may be advised to treat hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules and goitres with numerous nodules. The radioactive iodine shrinks the nodules when absorbed into the thyroid gland. This treatment is contraindicated in pregnant women and women trying to conceive. Surgery: Surgery to remove the nodules is the best treatment for cancerous nodules as they cause obstructive and suspicious symptoms. For instance, the size may be large enough to obstruct breathing or make swallowing difficult and cannot be diagnosed without being removed and examined. Complications of Thyroid Nodule Complications associated with some cases of thyroid nodules are: Difficulty swallowing or breathing: Large nodules or multinodular goitre may interfere with swallowing and breathing. Hyperthyroidism: Excessive hormones produced by the abnormal nodule or goitre may result in muscle weakness, weight loss, anxiety, irritability, and heat intolerance. Potential complications of hyperthyroidism include weak bones, irregular heartbeat, and thyrotoxic crisis. Problems related to the surgery: Thyroid hormone replacement therapy for a lifetime is recommended in patients advised to remove the thyroid nodule. Risk Factors of Thyroid Nodule A person is at risk of developing thyroid nodules if any of the following conditions are true: Exposure to X-rays performed on the thyroid during childhood Have a pre-existing thyroid condition like thyroiditis or Hashimoto's thyroiditis A family history of thyroid nodules Age is 60 years or older Thyroid nodules are more common in women. When they develop in men, they're more likely to be cancerous. Prognosis of Thyroid Nodule Benign thyroid nodules are not life-threatening, and most do not require any treatment. Only timely monitoring is usually enough. The outlook for thyroid cancer is based on the type of cancer. After treatment, the prognosis is good for most common kinds of thyroid cancer. In cases of surgical excision of the thyroid gland, the patient is advised to take medicines to maintain the supply of thyroid hormones in the body.
