De hecho, las investigaciones han demostrado que la extirpaci\u00f3n de las am\u00edgdalas puede ayudar a detener los dolores de garganta recurrentes, las am\u00edgdalas agrandadas o sangrantes y la amigdalitis cr\u00f3nica.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/physicians\/brian-p-sullivan-md\/\">Doctor Sullivan<\/a> Seg\u00fan el Dr. David S. McKenzie, \u201clas am\u00edgdalas desempe\u00f1an un papel en la producci\u00f3n de gl\u00f3bulos blancos que combaten enfermedades y crean una l\u00ednea de defensa contra las bacterias y los g\u00e9rmenes que ingresan por la boca. Sin embargo, esta misma funci\u00f3n es la que hace que las am\u00edgdalas sean tan susceptibles a infecciones frecuentes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Apnea del sue\u00f1o: esta enfermedad afecta a muchos ni\u00f1os y adultos por igual. En los ni\u00f1os, los ronquidos y otros problemas respiratorios suelen estar relacionados con el agrandamiento de las am\u00edgdalas y los adenoides. Lo mismo puede suceder en los adultos. La apnea del sue\u00f1o debido al agrandamiento de las am\u00edgdalas se ha convertido en la principal raz\u00f3n para extirpar las am\u00edgdalas en los ni\u00f1os. Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo saber cu\u00e1ndo debe extirparse las am\u00edgdalas?<\/p>\n<h4>A continuaci\u00f3n se presentan algunas pautas para saber cu\u00e1ndo es el momento de programar la amigdalectom\u00eda:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Si tiene m\u00e1s de cinco episodios de amigdalitis en un a\u00f1o o al menos tres casos al a\u00f1o durante un per\u00edodo de dos a\u00f1os<\/li>\n<li>Si una infecci\u00f3n bacteriana no mejora con antibi\u00f3ticos<\/li>\n<li>Si una infecci\u00f3n grave de am\u00edgdalas requiere hospitalizaci\u00f3n para tratamiento<\/li>\n<li>Si tiene las am\u00edgdalas agrandadas, lo que a menudo provoca problemas para tragar o apnea del sue\u00f1o.<\/li>\n<li>Si tiene un crecimiento anormal en las am\u00edgdalas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Por lo general, la amigdalectom\u00eda es un procedimiento ambulatorio, lo que significa que podr\u00e1 regresar a su casa el mismo d\u00eda de la cirug\u00eda. La amigdalectom\u00eda se realiza bajo anestesia general e implica que el cirujano extraiga las am\u00edgdalas con un bistur\u00ed u otras herramientas quir\u00fargicas especializadas. El Dr. Sullivan dijo que el procedimiento en s\u00ed dura menos de una hora.<\/p>\n<p>Si sufre dolores de garganta frecuentes, dificultad para tragar, voz ronca o ganglios linf\u00e1ticos agrandados, puede que sea momento de hablar con su m\u00e9dico sobre la amigdalectom\u00eda. En Premier Medical, entendemos que vivir con estas afecciones cr\u00f3nicas no es posible.
