Whether you have persistent symptoms or require a specialist opinion, explore the conditions below to understand possible causes, available assessments and when to seek professional advice.
Ear Conditions And Hearing Problems
Ear conditions can affect hearing, balance and everyday comfort. Dr Lentari investigates symptoms including persistent ear pain, discharge, blocked ears, tinnitus and dizziness to identify potential causes and recommend appropriate management.
Earache And Ear Infections
Ear infections can cause pain, pressure, discharge and hearing changes. Conditions such as acute or chronic otitis media may require further investigation when symptoms persist or repeatedly return.
Hearing Loss And Blocked Ears
Hearing difficulties may result from earwax, middle ear fluid, Eustachian tube dysfunction or inner ear problems. Specialist examination and hearing tests can help establish the cause. Sudden hearing loss requires urgent medical assessment.
Tinnitus And Ear Noises
Tinnitus causes ringing, buzzing, humming or other sounds without an external source. Assessment considers possible contributing factors, including hearing loss and underlying ear conditions, before exploring suitable management options.
Dizziness And Balance Disorders
Vertigo and balance disturbances may be associated with inner ear conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or Ménière’s disease. An ENT assessment can help determine whether symptoms are related to the balance system.
Other Ear Conditions Assessed
Dr Lentari also evaluates glue ear, ear discharge, wax blockage, Eustachian tube dysfunction, cholesteatoma, foreign bodies and other middle ear conditions.
Nose And Sinus Conditions
Nasal conditions can interfere with breathing, sleep and smell. Symptoms such as persistent congestion, facial pressure, sneezing or discharge may be associated with inflammation, allergies or structural problems.
Acute And Chronic Sinusitis
Sinusitis can cause facial pressure, nasal congestion, discharge and reduced smell. Recurrent or persistent symptoms may require assessment to identify inflammation or other contributing factors.
Allergic And Non-Allergic Rhinitis
Rhinitis may cause sneezing, itching, nasal congestion and a runny nose. Symptoms can result from allergens or non-allergic triggers, with management tailored to the suspected cause.
Nasal Blockage And Polyps
Persistent nasal obstruction may be associated with nasal polyps, a deviated septum or inflammation. An ENT examination helps identify the cause and determine appropriate treatment options.
Post-Nasal Drip And Catarrh
Excess mucus or the sensation of drainage into the throat may lead to coughing, irritation or frequent throat clearing. Assessment considers potential nasal, sinus and throat-related causes.
Other Nasal Conditions Assessed
Additional concerns include nosebleeds, smell and taste disorders, vasomotor rhinitis, facial pain, nasal discharge, septal perforations and foreign bodies.
Throat And Swallowing Conditions
Persistent throat discomfort, recurring infections and swallowing difficulties can affect eating, drinking and speaking. Dr Lentari provides specialist assessment to investigate possible causes and recommend appropriate care.
Tonsillitis And Throat Infections
Tonsillitis, recurring sore throats and tonsil stones can cause discomfort, inflammation and difficulty swallowing. Assessment considers the frequency and severity of symptoms.
Swallowing Difficulties And Dysphagia
Dysphagia may cause coughing during meals, discomfort when swallowing or food feeling stuck in the throat. Dr Lentari offers specialist swallowing assessment, including FEES when appropriate.
Laryngo-Pharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
LPR occurs when stomach contents reach the throat and larynx, potentially contributing to irritation, coughing, hoarseness or throat clearing. An assessment helps investigate reflux and other possible causes.
Globus And Lump Sensation
Globus describes the sensation of a lump in the throat without an obvious obstruction. Possible contributing factors include muscle tension and reflux. Persistent symptoms may require ENT evaluation.
Voice And Vocal Cord Conditions
Voice disorders are a particular area of Dr Lentari's expertise. She assesses conditions affecting vocal quality, endurance and vocal cord function, including concerns experienced by singers, teachers, actors and other professional voice users.
Hoarseness And Voice Changes
Persistent hoarseness, breathiness or changes in vocal quality may be associated with inflammation, vocal overuse or underlying laryngeal conditions. Specialist assessment helps identify possible causes.
Voice Fatigue And Vocal Strain
Voice fatigue can make speaking or singing increasingly effortful. Symptoms may include throat tension, reduced vocal endurance or difficulty projecting the voice.
Vocal Cord Nodules And Polyps
Benign vocal cord lesions can interfere with normal vibration, causing hoarseness, vocal fatigue or reduced vocal range. Laryngostroboscopy may help assess their effect on voice function.
Vocal Cord Cysts And Lesions
Vocal cord cysts and other structural abnormalities can affect voice quality and consistency. Specialist examination helps guide decisions about monitoring, non-surgical management or possible surgical treatment.
Functional Voice Disorders
Conditions such as muscle tension dysphonia and functional dysphonia can affect voice production. Management may involve specialist medical assessment and coordinated input from speech and language therapists
