Hello and hope you are doing well.
You don't have to worry about the adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. The procedure is actually easier to do for an adult as the diameter of the oral cavity is larger. The post-operative care and diet can be similar to that of a child, keep painkillers handy after the surgery. And Good Luck with your surgery.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Hello Dr Anitha
I spoke with my regular doctor toady and as soon as I get back from vacation I am to go see the ENT as soon as possible. They found a cyst in/on my adenoid and I will be undergoing a adenoid and tonsil removal :( I am 37 years old and I have heard it hurt so much worse when you are older...
Wow! Thank you SO much for the explination!!! Is this something that I will have to have surgery on to correct? And too, is this condition caused from GERD do you think?
And for sure, I will keep you informed! Thanks again for your time!
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Adenoids are lymphoid tissue located in the nasopharynx. As per the report there is a suspected mass of the adenoid tissue. This prominence observed could also be due to the positioning of the head. Also, there is minimal enlargement of the lymph nodes. And there is a mucous cyst of the maxillary sinus. All these findings need to be correlated clinically based on the symptoms and examination.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
