Question 1

is a flexible or rigid laryngoscope best  (&  must it have  camera?)  to assess  lpr  with lowered, fatigued, hoarse voice & throat & speaking  pain ?

Accepted Answer

Best let the doc...: ...Decide. They know what they are looking for and how best to look for it. You shouldn't tell your plumber how to fix the leaky faucet (other than to do quality work), so i wouldn't try to micro-manage your doctor. First decide if you want to have the test (after hearing the risks, benefits, and alternatives), then let the doctor decide how to do it. Don't tie his/her hands.

Question 2

can a moth larva invade a human being ?

Accepted Answer

You could: Eat one, or inhale one, but no, they don't invade humans. Have you seen the movie, "mothman"?

Question 3

will gum deisea spread round my hole moth?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If you have been diagnosed with gum disease and fail to treat it then it will most likely spread to all areas of your mouth where teeth are present. Although there is no easy cure, treatment can help to control it. Just know that it requires a lot of effort on your part with excellent oral hygiene and regular visits to a dentist, hygienist, or periodontist.

Question 4

i'm addicted to moth balls - what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Moth balls: Please expand on your question.  How are you addicted to moth balls.  Is it the aroma, or are you eating them or what?  How often do you repeat this behavior?

Question 5

is that capsule camera good as colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Not for prime time.: Capsule colonoscopy is not fda approved. It does not seem as accurate as colonoscopy at this time. In one study, 5 cancers were diagnosed with 2 of them missed by capsule colonoscopy. If a polyp is identified by capsule colonoscopy, it still needs to be removed by a regular colonoscopy. You get another prep. There are newer steerable models (with magnets) which may improve accuracy.

Question 6

are tiger moth dangerous to human beings in any way ?

Accepted Answer

Tiger Moth: Although the moth secretes a neurotoxin for its own protection against its predators, they do no harm to humans.  I really would not eat one though, not necessarily due to its toxicity, but that little dust on the wings kinda sticks in your throat.

Question 7

what happens to the virtual endoscopy camera; it defecated out or what?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Usually the camera passes out with the stool the day of the test. There are cases where patients have had strictures of the small intestine where the camera was caught. Often doctors will order a small bowel series prior to capsule to rule out these stricture. There is also a special capsule that can also be used to detect stricture that might prevent the camera from passing.

Question 8

i'm going to need a colonoscopy. i'm scared of the camera roaming around inside me?

Accepted Answer

Dont be scared: You are taking charge of your health, being proactive and thats a great thing. You will be properly anesthetized and probably have the best 30 minute nap  of your life! :-) good luck!

Question 9

Question 10
