🦻 Cholesteatoma of the Ear — A Silent but Serious Condition

A cholesteatoma is not just an ordinary ear infection. It is an abnormal skin growth inside the middle ear that can gradually expand and damage delicate structures responsible for hearing, balance, and facial nerve function.

Many people ignore symptoms for months… and the condition keeps growing silently.

🔍 Common Symptoms

Persistent foul-smelling ear discharge

Hearing loss in one ear

Ear fullness or pressure

Repeated ear infections

Dizziness or imbalance (in progressive cases)

Ear pain or discomfort

Rarely: facial weakness

⚠️ Why It Should Not Be Ignored

If untreated, cholesteatoma can lead to:

Permanent hearing loss

Damage to ossicles (ear bones)

Increased risk of vertigo

Facial nerve paralysis

Spread of infection to the brain area

This is why early diagnosis is the key.

🩺 Treatment

Cholesteatoma does not disappear on its own.
Most cases require surgical removal to protect hearing and avoid complications.
With expert ENT care, outcomes are highly successful.

— Vocal Hygiene / Voice Care

“Your voice is a precious gift — protect it before you lose it.”
— Dr. Kalpana Nagpal

Your natural voice is God-gifted, and it should never be strained or damaged due to unhealthy habits.
Frequent hoarseness, dryness, or throat fatigue are warning signs that your vocal cords need care.

Good Vocal Hygiene is essential to maintain a clear, strong and healthy voice.

⭐ Essential Voice Care Tips (By Dr. Kalpana Nagpal)

🔹 Stay Hydrated: Keep your throat moist for smooth vocal cord vibration.
🔹 Avoid Excessive Gargling: It dries and irritates the vocal cords.
🔹 Speak Softly: Avoid shouting or long continuous talking.
🔹 Avoid Smoking & Alcohol: Both damage the vocal lining.
🔹 Rest When Needed: Voice fatigue is a sign—don’t push your voice.
🔹 Don’t Clear Throat Frequently: It strains the cords.
🔹 Use Steam for Moisture: Dry air-conditioners worsen dryness.
🔹 Maintain Healthy Lifestyle: Sleep, food, and stress control directly affect vocal health.

⭐ A Message from Dr. Kalpana Nagpal

“Your voice represents you.
Never ignore any change in it.
Right vocal habits can prevent major voice disorders.”

If your voice remains hoarse for more than 2 weeks, get it examined immediately.

Vocal Cord Palsy

“क्या आपकी आवाज़ बार-बार बैठ जाती है? बोलते समय थकान होती है?
या साँस लेते हुए सीटी जैसी आवाज़ आती है?
सावधान रहें—यह Vocal Cord Palsy का संकेत हो सकता है।”

Vocal Cord Palsy में हमारी वोकल कॉर्ड (स्वर-तंतु) ठीक से नहीं हिलती,
जिससे आवाज़ बदल जाती है, बोलने में परेशानी होती है, और साँस लेने में दिक्कत तक हो सकती है।

---

⭐ Vocal Cord Palsy क्यों होती है? (Causes)

✔ Viral Infection – सर्दी-जुकाम के बाद भी हो सकता है
✔ Thyroid Surgery / Neck Surgery के बाद Nerve Injury
✔ Chest Surgery या Lung Disease से प्रभावित नर्व
✔ Neurological Problems – जैसे Stroke या Nerve Weakness
✔ Tumor Pressure – नर्व पर दबाव आने से
✔ Trauma / चोट – गर्दन या छाती पर लगी चोट
✔ Idiopathic – कई बार कारण पता भी नहीं चलता

---

⭐ Dr. Kalpana Nagpal कैसे मदद करती हैं?

डॉ. कल्पना नागपाल आपकी वोकल कॉर्ड की स्थिति को
🔹 Endoscopic Examination
🔹 Laryngoscopy
के माध्यम से बारीकी से जांचती हैं और आपकी ज़रूरत के अनुसार उपचार देती हैं—

🔸 Voice Therapy
🔸 Injection Laryngoplasty
🔸 Microlaryngeal Surgery
🔸 Laser / Endoscopic Treatment

इन आधुनिक तकनीकों से आवाज़ में तेज सुधार देखा जाता है।

⭐ याद रखें —

आवाज़ आपका आत्मविश्वास है।
इसमें किसी भी बदलाव को हल्के में न लें।
जल्दी जाँच करवाना ही सबसे सही कदम है।

बिहार से आई संगीता त्रिवेदी जी लंबे समय से थायरॉयड की परेशानी से जूझ रही थीं।

उन्हें खाना निगलने में दिक्कत होती थी, साँस लेने में परेशानी रहती थी और बात करना भी मुश्किल हो गया था।

Dr. Kalpana Nagpal ने उनका Robotic Thyroid Surgery ( Robotic Thyroidectomy)

बहुत ही सुरक्षित तरीके से किया—और सबसे बड़ी बात,
उनकी गर्दन पर ज़रा-सा भी कट या निशान नहीं है। Neck is absolutely scar-free.

सर्जरी के कुछ ही मिनटों में वे आराम से बोलने लगीं।
आज वे बिना किसी दिक्कत के खाना खा पा रही हैं, आसानी से साँस ले रही हैं और बिल्कुल सामान्य जीवन जी रही हैं।

संगीता जी ने दिल से धन्यवाद देते हुए कहा—

“डॉक्टर मैम ने मेरी ज़िंदगी बदल दी। अब मैं पूरी तरह ठीक हूँ और मेरे गले पर कोई निशान भी नहीं है।”

“If your sinus infection keeps coming back… it might NOT be simple sinusitis.”

Recurrent or persistent sinus infections can sometimes indicate a fungal sinus infection — a condition that requires early diagnosis and timely treatment.
Dr. Kalpana Nagpal explains why repeated symptoms should never be ignored:

🔸 When sinusitis becomes suspicious:

Symptoms keep returning even after multiple medications

Severe nasal blockage or thick discharge

Facial pain, headache, or pressure

Reduced smell

Symptoms lasting more than 12 weeks

History of allergies, asthma, or weak immunity

🔸 Why fungal sinusitis needs urgent attention:

It does NOT improve with normal antibiotics

Can spread and damage surrounding structures if ignored

Needs proper endoscopic evaluation

Some cases require FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) for complete clearance

Early intervention prevents complications

🔸 Diagnosis includes:

Nasal endoscopy

CT scan of the sinuses

Fungal culture/biopsy if needed

⏳ Don’t ignore recurrent sinus infections — timely evaluation ensures the right treatment and quick relief.

💧✨ Submandibular Duct Calculus — Know the Cause, Symptoms & Successful Removal!

Do you often feel pain or swelling under your jaw, especially while eating?

It might be due to a submandibular duct calculus, commonly known as a salivary gland stone.

🧬 How Does It Form?

Saliva contains minerals like calcium and phosphate.

When saliva becomes thick, dehydrated, or blocked, these minerals may deposit inside the submandibular duct (the channel that carries saliva from the gland to the mouth).

Over time, these deposits grow into tiny stones, obstructing saliva flow and causing pain, infection, and swelling.

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Kalpana Nagpal, Senior ENT & Head-Neck Surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, successfully performed the removal of submandibular duct calculus, restoring normal salivary function and relieving patient discomfort.

✅ Key Highlights:

Minimally invasive removal technique

Quick recovery with minimal pain

Prevents recurrent infection & gland damage

Essential to diagnose early to avoid complications

If you notice swelling below your jaw or pain while eating, consult your ENT specialist — early diagnosis ensures simple, effective treatment.

🔊🚫 Protect Your Ears, Preserve Your Hearing! 👂💙

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a silent but permanent form of hearing damage — caused by prolonged or repeated exposure to loud sounds such as earphones, concerts, traffic, or industrial noise.

🎧 Remember: Once hearing is lost, it can’t be regained. Prevention is the key!

✅ Keep your earphone volume below 60%
✅ Take breaks from continuous headphone use
✅ Use ear protection in noisy environments
✅ Get regular hearing check-ups if exposed to loud sounds frequently

Let’s make hearing health a priority — because your ears deserve care too!
