Coblation adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove enlarged adenoids. Here's how it differs from traditional surgery:

_Traditional Adenoidectomy_

1. _Removal of adenoids_: Adenoids are completely removed using a curette or suction cautery.
2. _More invasive_: Requires more tissue disruption and bleeding.

_Coblation Adenoidectomy_

1. _Partial removal of adenoids_: Only the obstructive portion of the adenoids is removed.
2. _Less invasive_: Uses a coblation wand to dissolve and remove adenoid tissue, reducing bleeding and tissue damage.
3. _Faster recovery_: Typically results in less post-operative pain and faster recovery.

_Benefits of Coblation Technique_

1. _Reduced bleeding_: Coblation technique reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing.
2. _Less post-operative pain_: Coblation adenoidectomy typically results in less pain and discomfort.
3. _Shorter hospital stay_: Patients often require a shorter hospital stay.

_Potential Side Effects of Coblation Technique_

1. _Temporary voice changes_: Some patients may experience temporary voice changes or nasal regurgitation.
2. _Nasal bleeding_: Rarely, patients may experience nasal bleeding or infection.

Dengue is not contagious in the classical sense, as it cannot be spread directly from person to person. However, it can be transmitted through:

1. Mosquito bites: The primary vector for dengue is the Aedes mosquito, which feeds on the blood of infected individuals and then transmits the virus to others.
2. Blood transfusions: In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions from an infected donor.
3. Organ transplantation: Dengue can also be transmitted through organ transplantation from an infected donor.

To prevent dengue, take the following precautions:

1. *Eliminate mosquito breeding sites*: Remove standing water from containers, flowerpots, and other areas around your home.
2. *Use mosquito repellents*: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing.
3. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during peak mosquito hours.
4. *Use mosquito nets*: If you're sleeping outdoors or in an area without screens, use a mosquito net to cover your bed.
5. *Install window and door screens*: Make sure screens are in good condition and free of holes.
6. *Use air conditioning*: Mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures, so using air conditioning can help reduce the risk of bites.
7. *Get vaccinated*: If you live in or plan to travel to areas with high dengue transmission, consider getting vaccinated. The Dengvaxia vaccine is available in some countries for individuals aged 9-45.

Symptoms of dengue typically appear within 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

1. *Fever*: High temperature, usually above 104F (40C).
2. *Severe headache*: Pain is often described as piercing or burning.
3. *Pain behind the eyes*: Eye pain is common, especially when moving the eyes.
4. *Joint and muscle pain*: Pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones.
5. *Rash*: A red, patchy rash may appear on the skin, usually 2-5 days after the onset of fever.
6. *Nausea and vomiting*: Some people may experience stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting.
7. *Fatigue*: Feeling extremely tired and weak.

In severe cases, dengue can lead to:

1. *Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)*: A rare but life-threatening complication characterized by severe bleeding, low platelet count, and blood plasma leakage.
2. *Dengue shock syndrome (DSS)*: A severe complication of DHF, characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and potentially life-threatening complications.

Accepted Answer

If you have a problem with obtaining and maintaining erections, you can seek help from a sexual health expert, who can prescribe you medication to deal with Erectile Dysfunction, and also Premature Ejaculation. If you are referring to increasing the size of the erect penis, there is no medication to facilitate that. Cosmetic surgeries are possible, but often expensive and rare. You can visit a specialist for further information on the matter.

Question 5

I'm experiencing a burning sensation near my vaginal area when I pee, and there's also itching around that area and my anus. I've noticed there are some small pimples near my vagina too. What could this be and should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Burning sensation near the vaginal area when passing urine and feeling itching near vaginal area and anus and I can feel a small pimples down the vagina. These symptoms could indicate a possible yeast infection or a bacterial infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Monistat for yeast infection. Apply it externally around the vaginal area and follow the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen for the burning sensation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
