What are the adenoids and what are the cases that need to be removed

We will talk first about adenoids, which are glands located at the top of the throat, behind the nose, and in the roof of the mouth. They are part of the human immune system. They expel germs before they enter the nose. These glands may swell and cause breathing problems, so their removal becomes a must. There are several Cases that require removal of the adenoids, which are:

• Getting rid of breathing difficulty caused by enlarged adenoids, and the subsequent shortness of breath in terms of sleep problems and continuous snoring during sleep.
• Reducing recurrent ear and nose infections as a result of the poor performance of the adenoids in their role in the immune system, with no benefit from the use of antibiotics.
• Adenoid removal surgery helps to get rid of fluid buildup in the ear canal.
• Getting rid of the constant feeling of sleepiness throughout the day and the permanent lethargy that results from lack of sleep at night and its difficulty caused by enlarged adenoids.

Disadvantages of laser adenoid surgery

The laser adenoid removal process has many advantages and benefits, as well as disadvantages, including:

• The occurrence of a bacterial infection after the operation, whether from the general atmosphere in the hospital or from the surrounding atmosphere.
• High temperature and fever, which persists despite drinking large amounts of cold fluids.
• Headache and severe continuous pain, and this condition is for people whose immunity is very weak, so the pain does not go away even with the medications and painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
• After the operation, there may be an increase in swelling and redness of the nose or redness of the eye, and this condition is temporary and goes away after a short period of the operation.
• A change in the tone of the voice, and this condition does not last long after the operation, but it is a period and the voice returns as before.
• Laser adenoid removal does not treat ear or sinus infections and does not reduce nasal secretions.
• The snoring problem does not go away immediately after the operation, as it remains for a short period after the operation.
• The bad smell in the mouth does not go away immediately after the operation and the presence of secretions collected in the nose for a long time.
• Loss of the sense of smell may be temporary and come back again because the front part of the corneas in the nose was removed, and this negatively affects the air currents of the nose, which affects the sense of smell.

My experience with laser adenoid surgery

I am with you today about my experience with laser adenoid surgery. The problem started with me two years ago, in the winter, when I got the flu, which weakened my immunity:

• After a period of recovering from the flu, I began to feel difficulty in breathing, so I cannot sleep at night, and all of my family members complain about my snoring while sleeping.
• I stayed in this state for two weeks until I became lethargic and sleepy all the time, so I decided to see a doctor who specializes in ear , nose and throat diseases.
• He works in a modern medical center close to the neighborhood in which I live. After the examination, the doctor found that my adenoids were enlarged.
• He directed me to perform surgery to remove them, and I am of a cowardly nature afraid of needles, blood and everything that follows.
• I opposed the doctor at first, but he found an easy and safe way for me to remove the adenoids, which is the use of laser technology.
• It is a modern technique in removing adenoids that relies on laser beams to completely remove the adenoids.
• After I read about it, I agreed to do it, as I initially did a set of medical tests, and then entered the operating room.
• The doctor put me under local anesthesia, this operation only takes more than 48 minutes, and after I performed it, all the problems I was suffering from were gone.
