  1. Hello,

    I'm looking for some advice regarding the area for my new home.

     

    I live in central Bangkok for the for the last years, but the noise and stress in the city becoming to much for me (maybe I'm just getting old).

    I'm thinking about moving into a a nice spacious house outside of Bangkok. I still would need to enter Bangkok downtown regularly by car.

     

    Any ideas regarding the location to look at?

    I did my antibodytest just last Wednesday here at Bangkok Hospital, Chiang Mai, but they will certainly also offer this service in their Bangkok Head Office. They take your blood, waiting time for the test result was 1.5 hours, and the costs were THB 1,100.00. I got a printout of my test result.

    Thanks for the info, it's the cheapest so far. Let me check the price in Bangkok

    You do not need a "better hospital". You need a specialist in tinnitus to rule out any treatabkle causes. (Often there isn't one, be forewarned)

     

    All hospitals have some sub-par doctors, most have at least a few good ones.Nothing to do wit  the hospital.

     

    Recommended specialists for tinnitus:

    (same doctor - different hospitals. Take your pick).

     

    Suggest you read these threads as well, lots of useful info in them:

    Actually LSP can have a very wide range of causes, including: tumors, hematomas, infections, trauma, vasculitis, and other inflammatory processes. An aggressive search for the cause should be made as treatment will vary depending on this. An electromyogram may be4 needed to distinguish LPS from other neuroapthies

     

    See  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK556030/

     

    In terms of doctor - I suggest  https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Weeraworn-Nakarawat

     

     

    Thanks @Sheryl, as always your input is very helpful. Especially the scientific paper, which caused me to bring it up with the Dr. and do additional blood tests (MRI & EMG was done).

    I am actually with Dr. Weeraworn at the moment. Which I'm in fact very happy with, however do you have a Dr. suggestion for a second opinion?

     

     

  5. Hello,

     

    In the condo I stay the bed has those sprung slats. I want to change them to solid bed slats, however I cant find where to get them. Ikea just seem to have the sprung ones.

    Any recommendation where to get this kind of thing in Bangkok area (ordering online from around Thailand would also be fine)?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Nerve damage is nto a common complication of variocele surgery, are you sure this is what you were told?  There is a small risk of damage to the testicular artery, and a risk of hydrocele formation. Both risks vary greatly with the type of surgical apporach used.

     

    After risk of pain not being relieved is only 8%.

     

    See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5503918/

     

    It is a rather technical article but worth reading before you see Dr.. Charuspong so that you can discuss with him the various possible surgical approaches.

     

    Thank you for pointing out my mistake, the 5% was a summary of potential complication which could be nerve or artery damage as well as your mentioned hydrocele.

     

    I will study the resource you send and will have a visit to Dr. Charuspong.

     

    Thanks!

  7. Hello,

    I recently got diagnosed with a mild varicocele on both sides after I start to having daily pain in this area. This was done via ultrasound. I initially talked to Dr. Jakkrit Issayanuwat at Bumrungrad which suggested me to monitor the pain and I got a subscription for pain killers.

    This was 3 weeks ago and I'm basically in pain every day. He also gave me the option for an operation. However when I asked how often he did this kind of operation it was just a view per Year. He also mentioned a rate of 5% for potential damage on nerves and a 15% chance that the pain would be still there after the operation.

     

    Any doctor recommendation with more experience with this kind of operations?

     

    @Sheryl can you help out?
