what's the effect of having a minor surgery on sinusitis?

Answer 1

I had sinus draining surgery after an infection that had gotten out of control and had ruled my life for at least 6 months. All antibiotic treatments failed. I couldn't breathe and I would blow my nose all day long (bloody, florescent, the whole bit)

I went in for surgery and they knocked me out completely. I woke up in a hospital bed and immediately felt like a new person. I felt amazing even though my sinus area was a tiny bit sore. Any pain I had was nothing compared to the daily headaches, etc. All the pressure was gone. I realized that I hadn't been able to breathe that clearly in years and I felt better than I did even before I had the infection. They said they drained out over a pint or two of 'fluid'. I was able to walk out later that day.

A small drainage tube was left in my nose (you couldn't see it) and they told me I had to come back in about a week to have it removed. I went back, the doctor had some surgical pliers in his hand and he said, 'Here we go' and he pulled out the tube. It was so painful that I saw a flash of white light but it was over in a second. He held it up and the tube was over 5 inches long.

It was the best thing that ever happened to me. They did say that I may eventually have to have my sinuses drained again someday, maybe in 10 years. It's been 12 years and I haven't had any problems but I definitely do not breathe as easily as I did for the first few years after the surgery. Apparently, I'm prone to sinus problems anyway.

Answer 2

merely curious, yet why does your dogs choose minor surgical treatment? oftentimes, Vets oftentimes wait until the doggy is around 6 months previous earlier appearing any concepts that require the dogs to be placed below anesthesia. until despite is faulty which includes your doggy would be made worse by waiting, then i could recommend you place it off until the dogs is 6 months. Have the minor surgical treatment on a similar time which you have the dogs neutered. the clarification vets tend to attend is simply by fact some canines have a stressful time dropping their toddler tooth and that they'd would desire to be pulled. Pulling tooth calls for the dogs to be placed below anesthesia. Anesthesia is stressful on a doggy's equipment (plus that's high priced) so that's greater advantageous to attend and have each thing achieved at one time if waiting is an option. My dogs had a hernia repaired, have been given neutered and had 2 tooth pulled on a similar day.
