Question 1

9mm polyp in uterine cavity. no symptoms.removal necessary for future pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Remove it.: I would recommend removing it before conception, as it could interfere with implantation or cause bleeding during pregnancy.

Question 2

can you be allergic to root canal and cavity fillings? what symptoms would you experience?

Accepted Answer

Dental allergy rare: While reactions to dental anesthetic  chemicals and instruments occur not infrequently, reactions to filling materials once set are unusual. Nonetheless metal components of fillings or crowns can rarely cause allergy. Most often this results in local reactions at the contact site but mild systemic manifestations can be seen. You should be tested before taking any drastic actions such as removal.

Question 3

what are the symptoms of teeth cavities?

Accepted Answer

Depends of Severity: Cavities are holes in your teeth caused by a disease called "dental caries".  The disease is caused by bacteria.  In early stages you may be totally unaware of the condition.  In later stages when the bacteria are encroaching on the "pulp" you may begin to feel thermal sensitivity.  As the condition progresses chewing sensitivity may set in.  If the condition gets worse pain + swelling may develop.

Question 4

what are  symptoms for cancer of the nasal cavity?

Accepted Answer

One sided symptoms.: These are usually one-sided, and include epistaxis, or bloody dischrge from nose, serous otitis media, or fluid in the middle ear, and nasal obstruction.  These occur late in the course of these cancers.

Question 5

can a cavity in the wisdom tooth make tmd symptoms worse?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: A cavity in a wisdom tooth can cause jaw symptoms even in absence of temporomandibular disorders.  Consult a dentist before symptoms get worse.

Question 6

if you had a an air embolism due to air being trapped in the vaginal cavity; how long would it take to show signs/ symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not happening: Air in the vaginal cavity is normal- it doesn't' get absorbed into the blood stream from there. An air embolism is a bubble of air within a blood vessel.  For it to cause symptoms that bubble has to be relatively large. Air emboli are rarely seen in patients with central lines in the hospital that have retained air in the IV tubing or within a syringe and directly injected into the vessels.

Question 7

if there is an active source of infection within the peritoneal cavity, and  it was treated with antibiotics, can symptoms go away and recur later?

Accepted Answer

See below: Yes it can  it depends somewhat on the original cause of the infection but if the underlying cause has not gone away certainly the infection can recur.

Question 8

after root canal on canine tooth #11, iam curious to know what are the symptoms/how it feels if the drill touches or drills into the sinus cavity floor?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You might not have any symptoms. That being said a sinus infection , pain in the tooth root tip area and sinus pain  are some of the symptoms you could have. You might want to go back to the dentist and have a radiograph taken of the area usually its unlikely a canine tooth will result in a sinus perfortion.

Question 9

i have quite a bit of thick mucus coming from my sinus cavities, accompanied by a dull ache within my nasal / sinus cavities. please assist. what can i take or do to remedy the situation? 
is it safe to train with these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: I recommend being started on an appropriate antibiotic regimen for paranasal sinus infection. I also recommend against vigorous exertion until symptoms are much improved. See your physician or an Otolaryngologist to get treated. Apply heat to the sinus areas to continue good sinus drainage.

Question 10

i do not have any cold symptoms or infection signs but i keep having a shooting pain in my nasal cavity that travels down to my neck.

Accepted Answer

Is something stuck: Sounds like you should see ENT doctor to R/O anything serious. He can see if something is stuck, if pus is coming out an orafice. He should be able to make diagnosis.
