What department should Wuhai hang in the hospital for facial ptosis

What department should I go to?

Facial ptosis is a very common symptom, usually caused by nervous system problems. If this happens, the patient should first go to the department of neurology or otorhinolaryngology. The neurology department can conduct a comprehensive nervous system examination to diagnose the specific causes of facial ptosis, such as stroke, facial nerve injury, etc. The doctor may ask the patient to have an imaging examination, such as CT or MRI, to check whether there is any brain disease. At the same time, the neurologist will also evaluate the patient's other symptoms, such as muscle weakness, sensory abnormalities, and so on, and then get the diagnosis results. If the examination results exclude the nervous system problems, the doctor may suspect that the facial ptosis is caused by ear nose throat disease. The otolaryngologist will carefully examine the patient's cranial nerve function and assess the facial nerve's motor and sensory status. They may also require patients to do some special examinations, such as electrophysiological examination, to further clarify the cause. In addition, patients should also take the initiative to inform doctors of their past medical history, such as trauma, surgery, etc., which will help doctors better diagnose and determine treatment plans.

How to diagnose facial ptosis?

The diagnosis of facial ptosis usually includes three steps: medical history inquiry, physical examination and auxiliary examination. First, the doctor will ask the patient's medical history in detail to understand the cause, development process and accompanying symptoms of the symptoms. This is helpful for preliminary judgment of the possible etiology. Next is the physical examination. The doctor will carefully observe the facial expression of the patient, check the activity of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips and other parts, and evaluate the function of facial nerve innervating muscles. The doctor may also ask the patient to do some actions, such as blinking, frowning, opening the mouth, etc., to assess the coordination of facial muscles. *After that is the auxiliary inspection. According to the preliminary diagnosis, the doctor may ask the patient to do some imaging examinations, such as CT, MRI, etc., to check the brain or skull base lesions; Electrophysiological examination, such as electromyography and nerve conduction test, may also be carried out to determine the degree of damage to facial nerve function. In combination with the above diagnosis process, doctors can find out the specific causes of facial ptosis, providing a basis for follow-up treatment.

Common causes of facial ptosis

The common causes of facial ptosis are as follows: 1. Stroke: facial paralysis often occurs after stroke, and the facial muscle activity of the affected side is limited, showing a drooping shape. In this case, facial ptosis is usually accompanied by other neurological symptoms. 2. Facial nerve injury: trauma, surgery, tumor and other factors may cause facial nerve damage, which may cause facial muscle movement disorder and droop. In this case, facial droop usually occurs only on one side. 3. Bell palsy: also known as idiopathic facial paralysis, is one of the common causes of facial nerve damage. The causes are unknown, most of which are sudden and common among the middle-aged and elderly. 4. Myasthenia: This is an autoimmune disease that affects facial muscles, resulting in facial muscle relaxation and droop. It is common among young adults. In addition, some metabolic diseases and genetic diseases may also cause facial muscle dysfunction, leading to facial ptosis. Therefore, it is very important to accurately diagnose the cause of facial ptosis.

How to treat facial ptosis?

The treatment methods of facial ptosis mainly include the following: 1. Drug treatment: according to the cause, doctors may prescribe corresponding drugs, such as hormones, immunosuppressants, etc., to treat facial ptosis caused by facial nerve injury or autoimmune diseases. 2. Physiotherapy: Physiotherapists can guide patients to carry out facial muscle training and restore the function of facial muscles through active activities or electrical stimulation. 3. Surgical operation: For facial ptosis caused by some reasons, such as brain tumor, traumatic facial nerve injury, etc., doctors may recommend patients to undergo surgical treatment, such as nerve repair, muscle suspension, etc. 4. Cosmetic plastic surgery: For some cosmetic needs, doctors may also recommend patients to do some cosmetic plastic surgery, such as eye lifting, facial muscle reconstruction, etc., to improve the appearance of facial ptosis. No matter what treatment method is adopted, patients should actively cooperate with doctors to maintain good treatment compliance. At the same time, attention should be paid to daily care, such as taking medicine on time, regular inspection, etc., to promote the recovery of facial function. To sum up, facial ptosis is a relatively common symptom, which may originate from a variety of reasons. Patients should go to the correct department for treatment in time, and cooperate with doctors in diagnosis and treatment. Only in this way can the facial function be restored as soon as possible, the appearance be improved, and the quality of life be improved.
