Ear-Nose-Throat Diseases
Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) diseases include disorders related to organs such as the ear, nose, throat, sinuses and vocal cords in the head and neck region. Private Jimer Hospital ENT department offers comprehensive services in the diagnosis and treatment of ear-nose-throat diseases with modern technologies and expert staff. Early diagnosis and treatment of ENT diseases are of great importance in terms of improving quality of life and preventing serious complications.
What diseases does the Ear-Nose-Throat Department deal with?
The ENT department undertakes the diagnosis and treatment of many different diseases and conditions seen in the ear, nose and throat regions. These diseases include:
- **Sinusitis**: Sinusitis, which occurs as a result of inflammation of the sinuses, manifests itself with symptoms such as headache, a feeling of fullness in the facial area and nasal congestion. Sinusitis can be treated with medication or, if necessary, with surgical methods.
- **Tonsil and Adenoid Enlargement**: Tonsil and adenoid enlargement is a common condition, especially in children. These enlargements can cause respiratory tract obstruction and recurrent infections. If necessary, tonsils and adenoids can be removed with surgical intervention.
- **Middle Ear Infection (Otitis Media)**: This disorder, which occurs as a result of fluid accumulation and infection in the middle ear, is especially common in children. It manifests itself with symptoms such as earache, hearing loss and fever. Treatment can be done with medication or surgical methods depending on the severity of the infection.
- **Hearing Loss and Tinnitus**: Hearing loss can occur due to aging, exposure to loud noises, or infections. Tinnitus is a constant state of hearing sound and can occur due to various reasons. Appropriate treatment methods are determined by making a diagnosis with hearing tests.
- **Vertigo**: Dizziness that occurs as a result of balance problems originating from the inner ear can negatively affect the daily life activities of patients. Medication and balance exercises are applied in the treatment of vertigo.
- **Nasal Congestion and Septum Deviation**: Nasal congestion can occur due to conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal bone curvature (septum deviation). Septum deviation surgery can be performed to relieve nasal congestion.
- **Allergic Rhinitis**: Allergic rhinitis manifests itself with symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes as a result of the body's response to allergens such as pollen, dust and animal hair. Antihistamines and nasal sprays are used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods Applied in the Ear-Nose-Throat Department
In the ENT department, various modern methods and technologies are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The ENT department of Private Jimer Hospital provides comprehensive health services to our patients using the latest techniques and devices in the diagnosis and treatment of ear-nose-throat diseases:
- **Endoscopic Examination**: Endoscopic examination, which is used to examine the ear, nose and throat regions in detail, allows for early detection of diseases.
- **Audiometry and Tympanometry**: Audiometry and tympanometry tests, which are used in the diagnosis of hearing loss and other ear-related problems, are performed to evaluate the hearing level and measure the pressure in the middle ear.
- **Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)**: Advanced imaging methods such as CT and MRI are used to image the sinuses, inner ear and other head-neck structures.
- **Surgical Interventions**: Surgical interventions such as septoplasty (septum deviation surgery), tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, endoscopic sinus surgery and ear tube placement are performed depending on the type and severity of the disease.
Recommendations for Protecting Ear-Nose-Throat Health
Protecting ENT health is very important for improving quality of life and preventing diseases. Here are some recommendations to consider for protecting ear, nose and throat health:
- **Following Hygiene Rules**: It is important to follow hygiene rules to protect ear, nose and throat health. It is necessary to wash hands frequently and take the necessary precautions to protect against infections.
- **Avoiding Loud Sound**: Exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss. Therefore, it is important to keep the volume low when listening to music with headphones and to use ear protection in noisy environments.
- **Avoiding Allergens**: Individuals with allergic rhinitis should stay away from allergens such as pollen, dust and animal hair and follow the treatment plan recommended by the doctor.
- **Balanced Nutrition and Water Consumption**: A balanced diet and consuming enough water for a healthy immune system are also beneficial for ENT health.
- **Regular Doctor Check-ups**: Regular doctor check-ups to protect ear, nose and throat health help detect potential problems at an early stage.
