After the nose surgery the patients are advised to keep their nose taped for 2 weeks to 2 months. During the first two weeks, the surgery tapes influence both swelling and forming. From the second week on however, the nose tapes are applied just to reduce the swelling.

A Fistulotomy is the surgical opening or removal of a fistulous tract. They can be performed by excision of the tract and surrounding tissue, simple division of the tract, or gradual division and assisted drainage of the tract by means of a seton; a cord passed through the tract in a loop which is slowly tightened over a period of days or weeks.

Fistulas can occur in various areas of the human body, and the location of the fistula influences the necessity of the procedure. Some, such as ano-vaginal and perianal fistulas are chronic conditions, and will never heal without surgical intervention.

http://www.paruresistreatment.norisk101.com Having trouble urinating in the presence of others? Is a friend or family member struggling with this problem? The following article offers some insight into this social anxiety disorder.
What is Shy Bladder Syndrome?
shy or bashful bladder syndrome, is properly titled Paruresis.It is a phobia that involves fear and avoidance of using public toilets. It should be mentioned that this form of urinary retention is not the result of a physical blockage in the body. People who suffer from paruresis have trouble urinating in the presence of others or put another way paruresis is the fear of not being able to urinate unless one is in absolute privacy.The symptoms can vary in severity . This social anxiety disorder can affect a person's quality of life in many ways. Paruretics are confronted with problems at work with a prime example being when they have to submit a urine sample for drug testing, traveling on long journeys via airplane or train to every day social situations that the rest of us take for granted.
What causes paruresis?
The cause of paruresis is hotly debated and not easily determined in some cases. It could start as a toddler in preschool, in adolescence, or even in adulthood. While not all paruretics can point to an event in their life that could have lit the fuse to their shy bladder syndrome, some look to a traumatic incident in their past including embarrassment by a parent, teasing by schoolmates or freinds and siblings, harassment in public bathrooms or even sexual abuse as the catalyst.
How common is Shy Bladder?
While definitive numbers are hard to find with regard to how many people suffer from shy bladder surveys performed over the last few decades show that the numbers could range from less than one percent to more than 25 percent of Americans. There was a study done in 1994 called the National Comorbidity Surveywhich showed that 6.6 percent (17 million people) of the populationare fearful of using the toilet away from home, although it is uncertain how many of these fears were related to the difficulties initiating urinating in public bathrooms.
Paruresis symptoms?
A common scenario for how shy bladder syndrome evolves in a person's life is as follows: After an initial unpleasant experience, the person anticipates difficulty urinating whenever entering a bathroom. After trying to make themselves overcome this fear and failing, the associated anxiety with performance reduces the individual's chances even further of the possibility of urinating in a public restroom. The sufferer then adjusts to the condition by urinating as much as possible while at home, restricting how much they drink and avoiding social events that will keep them away from home for too long.

How is Shy Bladder Syndrome treated?
It is recommended that a sufferer of paruresis should first visit a urologist to make sure there is nothing physically wrong with them.
The urologist will:
A) make sure there are no underlying physical problems.
B)Let the patient know they are not alone and that any other people suffer with the same problem
C) Offer guidance as to approaches for coping with the condition such as scheduling urination, and, for men making use of an enclosed cubicle as opposed to the urinal.
4) Discuss the possibility of self-catheterization if the patient feels that would work for them. It is a way to offer an instant way to improve their quality of life through being able to be more social.
5) Referring them out to a specialist dealing with anxiety disorders for cognitive and graduated exposure therapy.

There is new hope for sufferers of shy bladder syndrome with the "Paruresis Treatment System" which is helping people lead different and better lives.

Breast reduction can relieve strain from shoulder straps, neck, back, and upper arms.
It can provide an uplift to help clothes fit and look better. Traditionally, insurance companies would provide benefits for a broad range of breast sizes and gram weight of tissue to be removed from each breast. At present most insurance companies limit authorization when the doctor plans to remove less than 500gm weight per breast. Since many patients present with symptoms in a D cup to DD cup, often, the very removal of over 500 grams weight may reduce the breasts too much. This amount of reduction may not be in harmony with body shape. Newer methods of breast assembly after reduction, will tighten things using internal brassiere techniques that also compact and reduce breast volume. Therefore, a gram weight reduction of 500gms in some patients combined with internal tightening efforts, could pose an over-reduction. With the unreliability of insurance support in some cases, it is best not to look solely at gram weight in the surgical planning of breast reduction. When excess skin and weight is removed, the improved location of the breasts on the chest will give marked relief of symptoms.

Surgery takes from 2 to 5 hours and can be done as an outpatient or with a brief overnight stay. When possible, no scarring other than around the areola can be planned which follows the Brazilian and French methods (Goes and Benelli). For very large reductions, a vertical method, or T pattern approach is offered. Recovery is a few days, with special care to avoid strain for 4 to 6 weeks. Some soreness may persist for a few weeks. The breasts can appear tight, swollen, and bruised at first, but will usually settle to their near final look by 6 weeks. There may be sutures to be removed in some cases. Costs relate to the severity of the sag, and weight of the breasts.

The operation can make a stunning change in body image, relief of upper body symptoms, and offer a cosmetic lift to naturally sloping breasts.
