Meniere's disease, also known as Meniere's disease, is a common condition in otolaryngology. The main symptoms include dizziness, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and a sensation of spinning objects. Patients with Meniere's disease should not run during an acute episode, as it may significantly worsen symptoms or even cause falls. During remission, patients may run, but should avoid vigorous exercise. The pathogenesis of Meniere's disease is not yet fully understood. It is mainly considered to be related to fluid accumulation in the inner ear's membranous labyrinth. In treatment, methods such as vasodilation and nerve nutrition are used to improve symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss.

What is good to eat usually for Ménière's disease?

Treatment methods for Meniere's disease

Meniere's disease is a relatively common otolaryngological condition with various treatment options available. Most patients can consider conservative treatment with medications, typically administered orally. However, for some patients who have more severe conditions and frequent episodes, and for whom standard conservative treatment has not been effective, surgical treatment may also be considered. Nonetheless, the specific results of surgery can vary among individuals, and regular follow-up examinations are necessary after the surgery to monitor its effectiveness. In daily life, it is important to avoid external stimuli and prevent drastic emotional fluctuations. With proper routine management and treatment, the condition can be well controlled. (Medications should be administered under the guidance of a physician.)

Symptoms of Meniere's disease during the remission period

Meniere's disease is a relatively common inner ear disorder. If it is in the remission phase, there are likely no clinical symptoms because Meniere's disease may cause related clinical symptoms only during an acute episode, such as tinnitus, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ears. However, specific symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Therefore, after the onset, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngologist as soon as possible. Audiology testing, otoscopic examination, and head MRI can be conducted to determine the specific cause and extent of the condition, and then targeted treatment can be administered. Generally, during the remission period, medication may not be required, but it is important to ensure rest, improve sleep, and avoid emotional distress.

Can Meniere's disease be fatal?

Meniere's disease is not life-threatening. Also known as Meniere's disease, it is caused by fluid accumulation in the inner ear labyrinth, leading to symptoms such as tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, revolving vision, and vertigo. When Meniere's disease occurs, we should first perform comprehensive examinations like cranial MRI and high-resolution CT of the temporal bone to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment primarily involves vasodilators, nerve nutrition, hormones, and vestibular suppressants to improve local symptoms. Additionally, during an episode, it is advisable to rest in a supine position, ensure adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain a light diet to alleviate symptoms.
