FYI: HPV in connection with head and neck cancers

Q:How does having HPV affect the chances of being cured from cancer?

A: The good news is that HPV-positive head and neck cancers generally respond better to treatment than HPV-negative cancers. Patients with HPV-related cancers have:
🔹 Higher survival rates
🔹 Better response to radiation and chemotherapy
🔹 Lower risk of cancer recurrence

Early detection and proper treatment significantly improve outcomes.

Medical fact:

Loud snoring may represent a more worrisome condition called obstructive sleep apnea.

If you have most of the symptoms, and are concerned in having them, please consult your ENT or Sleep specialist for further evaluation and management.

Q: Is loud snoring harmful?

A: Loud snoring can be more than just a nuisance; it may indicate obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. It can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and fatigue. Consult with a healthcare provider if you experience loud snoring.

Is it safe to use earphones?

🎧 IS IT SAFE TO USE EARPHONES?

Using earphones or earplugs is generally safe if used correctly. Limit the volume to 60% and take breaks to protect your hearing. Prolonged use at high volumes can cause hearing damage.

How to clean our ears properly

🧼 HOW TO CLEAN THE EARS PROPERLY?

To clean your ears, use a damp washcloth to gently wipe the outer ear. Avoid inserting cotton swabs or any objects into the ear canal, as this can push wax deeper or cause injury. If you have earwax buildup, consider using over-the-counter ear drops or consulting a healthcare provider.
