[size=4][b]Sinusitis Medical Terminology - Kinds of Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]After years of having sinusitis, are you still having trouble identifying what kind of sinusitis you have? Identifying what kind of sinusitis you have is important for you to apply the right treatment.

[list][*]Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in the mid-face or below the eyes, cheek or upper teeth, almost like you're having a toothache.[*]Ethmoid sinus infection triggers pain between the eyes, near the bridge of the nose.[*]The pain may also become worse with eyeglasses on.[*]Inflammation in the frontal sinuses causes severe forehead pain.[*]Sphenoid sinusitis is usually identified by deep-seated pain behind the eyes, at the top of the head or nape of the neck.[/list]

Acute sinusitis lasts less than six to eight weeks or occurs less than four times a year. This kind of sinusitis is often preceded by a cold. Once your symptoms last longer than ten to fourteen days, you may already be developing an acute sinus infection, especially if you are feeling facial pain or headache already. During the early stages of acute sinusitis, there is nasal blockage and congestion, excessive mucus in the nose and throat and sneezing. Some may feel malaise and fatigue and fever. Mucus may become thicker and discolored. Throat discomfort and occasional hoarseness may also be experienced due to postnasal drip. Coughing from the postnasal drainage worsen in the morning and at night.

She discovered the pleasure of writing through her daily journals as a teen-ager. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Ethmoid Sinus that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

[size=large][b]Still, Any Number of Your Sinuses can be Inflamed At One Time[/b][/size][hr]Pansinusitis means that all sinuses are infected. Another way of classifying sinusitis is by duration and frequency of attacks. There are two kinds of sinusitis depending on the duration and frequency of attacks: acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Chronic Sinusitis. So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Chronic Sinusitis.

[size=large][b]Generally, Sinusitis is the Inflammation of the Lining of One or More of the Sinuses[/b][/size][hr]Thus, in medical terms, sinusitis is classified according to the inflamed sinuses and its involved side. Be aware that most people, including you, have four sets of sinuses: Maxillary, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid. Each sinuses is represented on the right and left side of the head.

[size=large][b]Having Acute Sinus Infection May Leave You Feeling Ear Blockage[/b][/size][hr]It may also lead to swelling of the glands, known as lymph nodes in the neck. Chronic sinusitis is a persistent disease of more than eight weeks' duration, or more than four episodes of infection per year. This kind of sinus infection may precede acute sinusitis that failed to clear completely with treatment. This may be felt by having postnasal drip with thick mucus in the back of the nose or throat. Another common symptom is nasal congestion or blockage that may extend to the Eustachian tubes resulting to ear fullness. People with chronic sinusitis may also feel being run-down and fatigued.

[size=large][b]The Advance in Technology Has Made Our Lives Simpler[/b][/size][hr]Science has been a great blessings for medical world. You wouldn't realize how important is laser techniques for doctors who find them the most suitable technique for any kind of operations. For sinusitis too laser sinus surgery is done. In most cases this is called Endoscopic Laser-Assisted Sinus Surgery.

[size=large][b]Know What Comes to Our Mind When We Talk of Laser Sinus Surgery[/b][/size][hr]The cost! These surgeries are every expensive and hence people are afraid of it little. But time has changed and the cost of laser surgery has reduced a lot. You can even talk to your doctor about insurance plans that would finance your surgery. Besides the cost of surgery depends a lot on the types of surgery and varies from clinic to clinic.

Before we learn more on laser sinus surgery lets find out how the endoscopic technique helps doctors to detect in our inner parts. Endoscope is a very light and thin instrument which is inserted in the nose and the doctors monitor the images through an eye piece or monitor screen. The lens of the endoscope allows the doctor to see the different areas inside your nose and the sinuses and to find out what has caused the blockage or infection in you sinuses. Once they are confirmed where the infection or blockage is, the next step that they do in laser sinus surgery. In this method they insert the laser tool along with the endoscope into the site. These tools are so sophisticated that they don't tend to hurt even the slightest any adjacent tissues or organs. These laser tools help to minimize the trauma and also reduce the time of surgery. It was with great optimism that we started out on writing this composition on Sinus Surgery. Please don't let us lose this optimism.

[size=large][b]Laser Sinus Surgery Has Many Other Benefits[/b][/size][hr]The post operative cure is very fast and the patient heals faster than incision surgery. Doctors would tell simple suggestions that one has to take care after the laser surgery. One generally recovers in less than a week or so. The regular visits to doctor after laser surgery is not necessary. They would call for a routine check up after 10-15days and once they find everything is clear they would recommend you normal life activities. Patience was exercised in this article on Sinus Disease. Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinus Disease. Wink

It is a health care profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system with special emphasis on the spine, under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Sinus Headaches. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Sinus Headaches.

[i]On the surface, heartburn and a stuffy nose might not seem related but there is recent evidence that suggests there may be a connection between acid reflux and sinus problems.[/i]

Is this mucus production that causes the possible connection between acid reflux and sinus problems as mucus production is stepped up in the sinuses as well. The sinuses themselves act like a big filter for the air that you breathe in and usually have a thin layer of mucus which is used to moisten the air as well as trap pollutants. The problem comes when there is too much mucus produced the sinuses get clogged up and can't drain properly causing sinusitis. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinuses. Such is the amount of matter found on Sinuses.

So if you often experience sinus problems together with GERD or acid reflux consider the possibility that the two might be related. It's important any way to treat your acid reflux probably and see a doctor so that you can be diagnosed and put on a treatment plan. You probably also have to make some dietary changes including avoiding spicy foods, fried foods, fatty foods and perhaps even caffeine in combination beverages.

These alarm signals cause the body to do certain things in order to protect itself and one of the things is to produce extra mucus. The mucus will take away the caustic nature of the asset and neutralize the damage as well as stop the acid from spreading further up the esophagus. The funny thing is that sometimes when this is happening it actually stops the heartburn symptoms so you might not even know you're having acid reflux!

[size=large][b]You can Also Help You Sinuses Out by Making Sure You Take Good Care of Them[/b][/size][hr]One way that you can help clean them out its with a little device called a Neti pot.

It is because there is so much to learn about Sinuses here.

You acid reflux sometimes called GERD is a result of your stomach acids backing up into the esophagus. This happens because a little valve in between the esophagus and stomach isn't functioning properly and is allowing the acids and food to back up. Your stomach acids are very strong but the stomach is made in such a way that he can easily handle the acids the esophagus, however, is not made to handle your stomach acids and when this backup occurs your body sends out alarm signals in order to minimize the damage. The sources used for the information for this article on Neti Pot are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.
