Otolaryngology in Mykolaiv

The otorhinolaryngologist treats diseases such as rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, otitis and other specific pathologies of the pharynx, trachea, larynx, sinuses and ear canals. ENT-specialist uses modern diagnostic techniques and a wide range of therapeutic procedures for the complete recovery of patients.

Symptoms of ENT diseases

The common cause of the pathology development is a bacterial or viral lesion of a certain organ.

A patient is faced with symptoms such as:

• sore throat;
• difficult swallowing;
• changing the voice timbre;
• redness and inflammation of the oral mucosa;
• diminished hearing;
• painful sensations in the ears;
• loss of balance;
• the appearance of purulent or other pathological discharge from ear canals;
• nasal stuffiness;
• labored respiration;
• specific heaviness in the forehead manifested when the head bends;
• purulent nasal discharge.

Many diseases are accompanied by symptoms common to all inflammatory processes: a sharp rise in temperature, impaired productivity, irritability and sleep problems. A consultation by ENT-specialist is also necessary in case of diminished hearing and mechanical trauma of ears.

The reasons for the pathology development are different.

Most often, diseases appear affected by:

• general hypothermia of the body;
• ingestion of untreated water into the nose or ears (for example, when swimming in artificial or natural waters);
• weakening of the immune system;
• vigorous physical activity or psycho-emotional stress;
• avitaminosis.

The peculiarity of the diseases studied by otolaryngology is that due to the adjacent location of organs, they can pass one into another: for example, throat inflammation often causes damage to the nasal sinuses and vice versa.

The success of treatment largely depends on how quickly a patient seeks qualified medical care. Quite often, patients postpone a visit to otorhinolaryngologist while doing self-medication. This approach only aggravates the course of the disease and can result in the development of dangerous complications: purulent tissue inflammation, sepsis, dullness of hearing.

How does ENT-specialist carry out examination and treatment?

ENT-specialist in Nikolayev accepts patients by appointment. During the initial consultation, the specialist interviews: listens to complaints, conducts an instrumental examination of the affected organ. The doctor uses modern diagnostic techniques to detect pathology and its causes.

For a more accurate diagnosis, a doctor uses a video endoscope - a device with a camera installed at the end of the endoscope with displaying of the image on a specialized monitor.

If necessary, a complete blood count and other tests can be prescribed and based on these results treatment plan is developed. It includes conservative therapy (taking antibiotics, antiviral drugs, vitamin complexes to maintain immunity) and physiotherapy procedures. Each stage is accompanied by ENT-specialist consultation who monitors patient’s condition and, if necessary, adjusts the treatment.
