I had the same surgery as you too but I did it with dr khor from pudu. Ten years later, still good

Anyone ever tried Laser treatment for Sinus? Which doctor/hospital has this equipment and skill? Is laser a lot better than normal surgery?

Hi all,

Has anyone heard of Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)? Is the procedure available in Malaysia?

Information I got from the web were all foreign cases. I am suffering from a total hearing loss due to nerve damage and want to consider this procedure to gain back hearing.

Can anyone share some guidance where I can proceed?

Hi guys,
I am not sure if i am posting in the right thread. I am having stuffy nose for few years and it never get cured. Things get worse when it caused my eye to swell and dark eye circle.

Is this what people call 'sinus'?

Usually ppl with sinusitis have symptoms like stuffy nose, blocked nose, blowing ur nose during sleep, ear pain etc etc. none of us here are doctors so it's best to get ur self checked by a specialist

Thanks for the reply. Any recommended specialist in klang valley?

I would recommend Dr khor from pudu if u want a cheaper consultation and meds. Had my sinus surgery don't by him. Otherwise I would recommend Dr koay cheng eng from. Sunway or his younger Bro koay cheng boon also from. Sunway. They're well known for ent.

I have a minor sore throat pain at the side of neck , not so chronic whenever i ate solid food like rice . who should i be consulting first, a private ent specialist clinic or hospital? Nearest loc in subang or puchong.tq

Pls refer to the attached picture which i took from the latest Sunway Medical Centre Patients Handbook.
You can check out their website and check the available ent doctors which could perform the procedure you need.

I dont think clinic would be sufficient, best to see and ent specialist so they could scope with a cam and really see the issue and diagnose it correctly the first time.

my ent doc is dr koay cheng eng too.. i am still recovering from the surgery he did on me last week.
what i had was deviated septum/chronic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis..
i have been using a lot of nasal decongestant spray since the last 2 years and finally decide enough is enough and i really need to do the surgery..

airflow is good right now(previously my left nostril was blocked 95%) and i cant feel the stitches. the surgery fixed only 1 part of my problem.
the other part of my problem is allergic rhinitis, any external elements like dust, pollen, oil vapour and smoke could trigger my inner nose to swollen up..
right now i am on prednisolone, a steroid based anti histamine to stop my nose from getting swollen but i'm pretty sure it will return once the prednisolone stops..

i believe what you are experiencing is the same as me, you might have allergic rhinitis too.. using anti histamines are really only short term solutions as they inhibit the inner nose from getting swollen, not resolve the issue why it gets swollen in the first place.. i have been reading some local papers promoting a vegetable based supplement that could help sufferers of allergic rhinitis, the supplement is called nuvalectranal.. i will be trying out this supplement soon after my next check up with dr koay.. i would suggest you check with your ent doctor too whether nuvalectranal or some other allergic rhinitis medication is needed for your blocked nose.. the key thing is to ensure the medication fixes the root cause of the swelling, not just blocking the symptoms/swelling..

attached are the paper article i read last week regarding allergic rhinitis..

hi, i always have this problem and i care less of this problem all this time till i read your problem today.
sometimes left is blocked , sometime is right? and it happen almost routine that we don't bother much about it. But what could we do to stop this totally.

yes sometimes left is blocked some time its right side, it depends which side gets irritated and swollen up.. some times both oso swollen at same time..
best is to see an ent specialist and diagnose your issue properly..
if you do not need surgery than you could go straight to medication to remedy your problem..
as for me i needed to do the surgery first before addressing other issues through medication..

Hey guys, I have had this buzzing sound and decreased hearing on the right ear. I went to clinic just now, seems like there is some inflammation in the ear but the doctor asked me to go for an ENT scan.

I am from Penang, currently staying in PJ. Not really familiar with the hospitals in klang valley, any recommendations? It seems like the pricing for the scan is around RM200-RM300, it would be great if anyone can recommend a more budgeted one.

^ U can always walk in to ENT clinic in PPUM/UMMC.
normally morning will be walk in, after lunch reserved for follow up.

Been suffering slight hearing loss since yesterday. Felt there's a vacuum in my right ear. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my right ear? Could it be ear wax blockage or etc?

Am planning to go a doctor for a checkup around kl area. Any recommendations? Dr khor or hukm or others? Hopefully it won't be expensive as I'm still a student.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hope this is not too late to ask.

Im having trouble with snoring, suspect is OSA. Between Dr Khor, Dr Koay CE and Dr Vincent, which one is better at this area? Anyone have experience in this? thanks!

Cheaper option will be Dr Khor.

Hello. I would like to ask bout your opinions, guys. I have a cyst in my nose and I get some suggestions to have an operation for my cyst. I plan to have my operation in Penang. I have searched through Internet bout which doctor I should visit , somehow my options go to these two doctors, which are Dr. Lim Seh Guan from Loh Guan Lye hospital and Dr. Ng Hee Hua from Lam Wah Ee hospital. I would like to ask which doctor is better and do you have any impressions about these two doctors.

Did you go and meet Dr. Koh Tat Ngee and if you did is he any good?

I am diagnosed with a polyp in my nose by Dr Raymond Tan Suan Kuo and he recommended to do a radiofrequency treatment to reduce the size of the polyp and perform a septoplasty and right FESS.

Anybody have an experience with Dr Raymond Tan before?
