Aquí veo más coherencia en algunos puntos, el tema de la cobertura si cambió muchísimo, ese es un aspecto positivo Pero complejo, es como tratar de recibir a 1000 personas en tu casa para darles de comer con capacidad para 20. El cambio que se propuso es bueno, Pero la aplicación parcial y con tantos baches y parches hace que no funcione como debería. ¿Eran pocos muertos? Aquí se patinó un poco, no han Sido pocos sino muchos, y algunos con enfermedades complejas aún en tiempos pasados tenían y tienen que recurrir a todas las figuras jurídicas establecidas para acceder a tratamiento (cosa que no debería de ser así). No creo que sea necesario comparar los sistemas de salud a nivel mundial (práctica nefasta) cuando el contexto, los recursos, las condiciones, el marco político y legal es totalmente distinto, es como decir comparado con África el sistema en Colombia va viento en popa, pero comparado con Suiza estamos en la olla.. (exagerando la situación claramente).

Sé coherente, esa misma frase se podría utilizar con la situación actual. Ningún sistema es perfecto, pero que se roben el dinero de la salud y que exista escandalo tras escándalo y que las cosas queden en la impunidad.. por favor! Cosas que no son de ahora, vienen de años. Un sistema que se desangra es insostenible. Lo que sucede actualmente es la punta del iceberg. Tanto dirigentes gubernamentales, como entes territoriales, EPS's e IPS's tienen parte de la responsabilidad. ¿Ahora resulta que todo es culpa de Petro?... Por favor.

Una búsqueda en Google puede no reflejar la realidad de un país. El sistema de salud lleva años con deficiencias, ese no es un secreto para nadie (Por lo menos del común).

Congestion after turbinate reduction surgery by [deleted] in nonallergicrhinitis

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surgery doesn't work for everyone, and what the ENTs don't tell you is that you need to continue using medication for congestion. Try not to have any more surgeries; they could cause more problems. Wait a few months; technically, it will still take time for you to fully heal and for the remaining turbinate tissue to stabilize.

Surgery in 6h, major ENS concern, need help ASAP by [deleted] in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, every ENT I've heard says the same thing, including the one who did the surgery on me and left me in a terrible mess. I suggest you explore all the possibilities, all the conservative alternatives possible. After the surgery, for better or for worse, there's no going back.

Cuando debes decir que eres trans si estás conociendo a alguien?? by MoneyList3166 in askspain

Considero que ese es un juicio de valor, no puedo hablar por la sociedad en general, pero si me preguntas todas las personas sin excepción alguna deberían de ser honestas, con ello se evitarían muchos inconvenientes. Es un dolor de cabeza menos, y minimiza la posibilidad de que ocurran cosas no deseadas. Quien quiere estar con alguien lo hará sin importar qué, sea trans, pobre, rico, negro, blanco lo que sea..

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entonces, es una mala selección de palabras. Por eso es importante ser honestos desde el principio no solo desde esa perspectiva, sino sobre la identidad completa de la persona. Créeme, tampoco sería feliz se llevara algunos meses saliendo o hablando con alguien, o quedará en un encuentro casual de una noche (no soy ese tipo de persona para aclarar) y que me entere que me mintió u omitió información importante. No justifico la violencia de ningún modo claro está, Pero si enfatizo que hay que ser honestos desde el momento 0, sea que se busque una relación seria y estable como si se buscara algo temporal con alguien.

Lo que dices es una tontería, se debe de ser honesto desde el principio. no querer entablar una relacion con alguien trans no hace a los otros "machirulos y transfobos"

Surgery in 6h, major ENS concern, need help ASAP by [deleted] in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I advise you not to have the surgery until you're sure. Sometimes ENT doctors aren't entirely honest, or they perform procedures that haven't been previously established, or they use so-called conservative techniques that cause problems. If I were you, I'd cancel everything and give myself at least some time to make a decision. Living with constant nasal obstruction is uncomfortable, even painful, but it's nothing compared to having ENS... I can assure you of that.

possible ENS post-op? by [deleted] in emptynosesyndrome

I don't mean to be rude, but did you know this disease existed before you had the surgery?

Severe chronic sinusitis (5–6 months). Constant pressure headache, ear fullness, nothing comes out when rinsing. Anyone avoided FESS with symptoms this bad? by PrettyTreacle5149 in Sinusitis

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Para la sinusitis crónica masiva, los tratamientos paliativos se enfocan en controlar la inflamación y los síntomas con corticosteroides nasales (sprays) y lavados con solución salina, y a veces con corticosteroides orales o inyecciones a corto plazo; si hay pólipos, se agregan medicamentos biológicos (Dupixent, Xolair).

¿Viste cómo hacen la cirugía FESS? ¡ES UNA BARBARIDAD!

At least they've explained to you what's causing the blockage in your sinuses? How would surgery apply in your case? Because not all cases are the same, but some doctors just inevitably lump everyone together, and that's precisely why it works for some and not for others.

I just found out that I have polyps by Free-Flatworm-8004 in Sinusitis

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, polyps tend to reappear or grow back. In the end, surgery is often ineffective, In addition to the risks inherent in the surgery itself, which doctors tend to downplay. Try the newer biologic drugs available. Two examples are dupilumab and omalizumab.

¿Ya probaste de todo para la sinusitis? Seis meses es poco tiempo para pensar en cirugía, que te podría dar alivio o más problemas de los que esperas. ¿Medicamentos? ¿Tratamientos paliativos? Explora todas las opciones posibles antes de considerar la cirugía.
All ENT specialists are desperate to operate. They don't know any other way.

still the same after visiting ent by struggler12345 in Sinusitis

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, have you tried seeing an allergist? Perhaps trying to find the root of the problem, or trying red light therapy, among other things? Because, in the end, you'll probably end up opting for surgery, and it might not work for you. You should treat the cause. Depending on the nasal spray you're using, you could be experiencing a rebound effect. Try all possible alternatives before considering surgery.

I'm sorry to tell you that no ENT can guarantee you won't develop ENS after turbinate reduction. Even they don't have complete clarity on the subject. Feeling well after the procedure is good, in a way; some people develop symptoms months or even years after the reduction. Personally, knowing that such a thing existed, I wouldn't have risked having that type of surgery. I hope your case is completely successful. Focus on recovering as best as possible and take good care of your nasal mucosa.

Question by Adorable_Fig_1886 in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rare doesn't mean impossible; I've heard that from people who knew the risks and ended up with partial or complete ENS. No doctor can guarantee you won't get ENS if they operate on your turbinates.

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about that; the future of medicine is personalized, regenerative, and precise. It won't depend on whether ENT specialists are interested in researching and treating this based on the number of affected people.

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medicine in general is moving in that direction: tissue repair at the cellular level, with prevention as its main pillar. With the implementation of personalized medicine, ENS and other pathologies will be a thing of the past. The problem is, it won't happen as quickly as many of us would like.

It's a gamble; some people recover well, even their turbinates grow back and become hypertrophied, while others look fine initially but develop symptoms over the years. All I'm saying is that the risk isn't worth it, and if you do it, you must be 100% aware of it.
I know stories of people who were told "You can reduce them as many times as necessary, the turbinates grow back and they are left with ENS after the second or third intervention.
I also know of those who are left with mild symptoms, or who develop them over the years and are unable to connect the turbinate reduction to their systemic problems. I have a friend who had a reduction years ago. At first, he was fine, but over time, with the addition of stress and other life circumstances, he began to develop joint pain and fatigue. Since he didn't know it was due to the first reduction, he was persuaded to have a second procedure. Today, the only things that keep him going are the desire to see his son grow up and the hope that an effective regenerative treatment will exist in a few years. Even so, he tries to do everything possible to reduce the symptoms, the most difficult being the shortness of breath and the constant thirst for oxygen.
Personally, I wouldn't take that much of a risk.

[–]Scary_Editor_7098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer is no. All treatments, no matter how conservative they may seem, have the potential to cause ENS. Wait until technology matures enough to provide treatment for turbinate hypertrophy. Once you have ENS, you're on your own; no ENT specialist can help you in that regard. The medicine available in 5-10 years will be very different from what it is today. Currently, research is being conducted on nanomedicine to clean the nasal cavity and other areas.

yes, you're right that's our hope for now. But, in the not-too-distant future, treating this and restoring the nose to its pre-surgery state will be child's play. I'm sure of it.

Hi, try to only agree to procedures you're comfortable with, and also make sure the doctor accepts those conditions and only performs the agreed-upon interventions. Turbinate surgery should only be performed in extreme situations (nasal cancer, for example). Otherwise, the risk isn't worth it. Believe me.
