Department of Ear, Nose, & Throat

Our advanced medical equipment includes laser machines for innumerable surgeries, a harmonic scalpel, an atmos stroboscope, and a sialendoscope for endoscopy amongst others. You can be completely sure of the most accurate detection of problems and consequent treatments.

Diagnosis of Ear, Nose & Throat related conditions

The ears are sensory organs that are connected not only to hear but also to give you a sense of balance. The nose is also a sensory organ that not only gives you a sense of smell but also offers a partial sense of taste for yourself. By humidifying the air we breathe, the nose also plays an important role and works to prevent germs from entering the body. The throat provides the airway to access the Lungs, as well as the food and water pathway to get into the Digestive Tract. If ear, nose, and throat care is not taken seriously it can have a dramatic effect on your quality of life.
 

Lump inside the neck

The beginning of a lump in the neck can be a sign of Nose Cancer, Thyroid, Lymphoid, and other ENT Cancers.  A lump can be produced from the thyroid gland in the lower front part of the neck, particularly when you move your neck up and down and witness some swallowing in the neck.  Not all lumps in the neck are Cancer signs; there can be causes, such as an inflamed gland.

Bleeding in the nose

Nose Bleeding usually occurs due to injury to the nose lining, often due to dry weather, infection or allergy. Nose Bleeding can also be a sign of nose cancer, particularly if the bleeding tends to occur in small amounts, or occurs with a headache or unpleasant odour, then it is necessary to get your problem monitored.

Ulcer or Swelling inside the mouth

A doctor will look at a swelling, Ulcer or sore area in the mouth which does not go away within a week. Ulcers that come and go in multiple mouth areas are generally non-cancerous and are known as aphthous ulcers. Ulcers usually occur due to a throat infection.

Voice Hoarseness

Voice hoarseness can be a sign of Mouth Cancers and can it can also be a symptom of Thyroid Cancer as well. Nerves flow directly behind the Thyroid gland to the vocal cords and can be affected by Cancer within the gland.

Ear Pain

Some lumps may be left alone or treated with medication, while others may require further research. In the case of a thyroid lump, an ultrasound scan and a fine needle biopsy can help to determine the chance of cancer, and hence the need for surgery. Several lumps in the neck can be removed by giving local anaesthesia, while others may require general anaesthesia (full-body anaesthesia). A CT or MRI scan can sometimes provide useful information before determining whether the lump should be removed.

Nasal endoscopy requires the passing of a thin flexible camera into the nose to inspect the nose and throat problem. This test only takes a couple of minutes and is usually painless.

To confirm the diagnosis, a tissue sample is sent to the laboratory for suspected cancer inside the nose or throat. Local anaesthesia and an endoscope are used to direct the biopsy, which can be performed in the clinic for Nasal Cancer.
