• Treating airway problems

• Gastroesophageal reflux

• Voice disorders

The throat and airways encompass vital areas that manage basic functions such as breathing, swallowing, and sound production. Diseases in this area can lead to complaints that can directly affect quality of life. With early diagnosis and correct treatment, most of these diseases can be successfully controlled.

Major Problems Diagnosed and Treated:

• Swallowing Disorders
  It may present itself with complaints such as a feeling of being stuck while swallowing, feeling like there is a foreign object in the throat, and painful swallowing. Causes may include muscle problems, reflux, neurological diseases, or structural disorders.

• Voice Disorders
  Conditions such as hoarseness, cracking, thinning of the voice or complete loss of voice may be caused by problems with the vocal cords. In case of long-term voice disorders, an ENT specialist should definitely be consulted.

• Gastroesophageal Reflux (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux)
  As a result of stomach acid reaching the esophagus and throat, symptoms such as burning in the throat, dry cough, frequent throat clearing and hoarseness may occur.

• Tonsil and Adenoid Diseases (Common in Children)
  It manifests itself with complaints such as recurrent infections, snoring, mouth breathing and sleep problems. Surgical treatment can be applied in necessary cases.

• Airway Problems
  Nasal congestion, adenoid hyperplasia, laryngeal stenosis or trachea (windpipe) related problems may cause difficulty breathing. Treatment is planned as a result of the necessary examinations.

In throat and respiratory tract diseases, it is possible to make a definitive diagnosis with detailed examination, endoscopic evaluation and, if necessary, advanced tests. Treatment is carried out with medical or surgical methods depending on the cause and severity of the disease.
