Call ChatThis department specializes in the ears, nose, throat, and related areas. This specialty treats and prevents related diseases such as otitis media, tinnitus, hearing impairment, sinusitis (nose), pharyngitis, and throat cancer. In particular, in modern society where air pollution is a problem, its importance is being highlighted along with waste management.
The complex structure connecting the throat, nose, and ears enables these three organs to work together as one unit. What these three parts have in common is the same mucous membrane. The throat is situated in the center, joining the mouth and nose, and it also links the lungs and esophagus.
Furthermore, the throat, nose, and ears work together as a single entity. The Eustachian tube is a little tube that balances air pressure on both sides of the eardrum, and it is located in the middle ear and nasal cavity. This organ is particularly crucial while participating in aviation or scuba diving activities. Pain or ringing in the ears might be the result of an obstruction in the Eustachian tube.
The nose is responsible for purifying the air the moment we inhale, and functions to supply moisture and warm the air before entering the lungs. Additionally, the nose is covered with small capillary hairs that block and trap dust, which is then swept away by mucus on the surface of the cells in the nostrils.
The throat connects the mouth to the respiratory system. They consist of the uvula, soft palate, tonsils, and adenoids.
Patients with ENT diseases frequently have noticeable symptoms such as swelling in the throat, tingling pain, loss of sense of smell, difficulty breathing, or pain inside the ear.
Some diseases are more difficult to cure because of the complicated structure of the ears, nose, and throat, which are also spaces that connect to the outside world. If one of these organs becomes infected, it might impact the surrounding organs.
Both children and adults frequently suffer from ENT disorders which are typically benign. But if left unchecked, it can lead to a lot of issues, including potential health risks.
The most common ENT conditions include sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hearing loss, and deafness. ENT disorders affect most people at least once in their lifetime. As long as problems do not arise, treating the majority of these pathological alterations is simple.
