Can teeth be straightened without correcting a mandibular hyperplasia?


My husband was diagnosed with a mandibular hyperplasia (underbite, or protruding jaw). He has crowding in his teeth, and wants to get braces. The orthodontist we saw said he needs to have surgery to correct the jaw before he can get braces to straighten his teeth. He is not too interested in having his jaw broken and wired shut for 6 weeks. Can teeth be straightened without having this surgery?
-I also read here on his diagnosis letter that he presents a cross-bite and prognathism.

-Also, we were told that he CANNOT have braces without the surgery. Something about pulling teeth away from the bone, and he will be at a greater risk for losing his teeth in the future??? Totally confused!

That sounds horrible. he could be eating his dinner through a straw. I don't think I like that.  (+ info)

What does "linear neuroendocrine hyperplasia of the stomach" mean?


You need to ask the Dr for certain.

From the very limited info you have given it could mean they found either a line of fibrosis in the stomach or an area that is potentially a neuroendocrine or carcinoid tumor.  (+ info)

What is the Treatment for complex endometrial Hyperplasia?


In most cases, endometrial hyperplasia can be treated with medication that is a form of the hormone progesterone.

You and your doctor will find a form of progesterone and a dose that is right for you.

If the problem persists, more treatment (such as other medication or surgery) may be used.

Good luck :)  (+ info)

is there any relation between lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphoma?


I did my colonoscopy and the result came with lymphoid hyperplasia...one of my friend told me that it can be lymphoma....now i'm very confussed!!...i wanna know is there any relation between lymphoma and lymphoid hyperplsia?
----------

Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system. The two major kinds are Hodgkin's Disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Lymphoid hyperplasia appears to be a benign enlargement of lymphatic tissue. Your lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes and lymphatic tissue scattered about the body, especially around organs.

More information is available here on lymphoid hyperplasia:

what is the difference between cell hyperplasia and dysplasia?


Hyperplasia (or "hypergenesis") is a general term referring to the proliferation of cells within an organ or tissue beyond that which is ordinarily seen. Hyperplasia may result in the gross enlargement of an organ, the formation of a benign tumor, or may be visible only under a microscope. Hyperplasia is considered to be a physiological response to a specific stimulus, and the cells of a hyperplastic growth remain subject to normal regulatory control mechanisms. This stands in contrast to neoplasia (the process underlying cancer and some benign tumors), in which genetically abnormal cells proliferate in a non-physiological manner which is unresponsive to normal stimuli.

AND

Dysplasia is a term used in pathology to refer to an abnormality in maturation of cells within a tissue. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. Dysplasia is often indicative of an early neoplastic process. The term dysplasia is typically used when the cellular abnormality is restricted to the originating tissue, as in the case of an early, in-situ neoplasm. For example, epithelial dysplasia of the cervix (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia - a disorder commonly detected by an abnormal pap smear) consists of an increased population of immature (basal-like) cells which are restricted to the mucosal surface, and have not invaded through the basement membrane to the deeper soft tissues. Myelodysplastic syndromes, or dysplasia of blood-forming cells, show increased numbers of immature cells in the bone marrow, and a decrease in mature, functional cells in the blood.-  (+ info)

do you need to ave your ovaries removed because of hyperplasia with a typia? Are they effected?


i was told a total abdominal hysterectomy including ovaries and nodes are to be removed and I was wondering if this was a bit drastic for a 4 year old. Diagnosis is complex hyperplasia with a typical cancer cells. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
----------

You need to get a second and third opinion from doctors, including reproductive endocrinologists and gynecologic oncologists.

I'm so sorry to hear about this! It's possible that they can just remove where the cancer cells are, and not the other body parts.  (+ info)

Has anyone diagnosed with complex endometrial hyperplasia without atypical cells had successful conception?


successful pregnancy, and delivery?
I was recently diagnosed with this and hysterectomy was suggested, but I want at least 1 more child. Just wondering what my chances are.

Can I fight the symptoms of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia?


I am 13 years old and i've been researching my condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The websites ive been visiting say that a symptom of this condition is that I will be tall as a child but short as an adult but I am not tall as a child and I'm wondering if it is possible to not be short as an adult.
----------

There are endocrinologists that specialize in this treatment - or rather the treatment of growth disorders.

I have no adrenals anymore so I live with the consequences daily as well. You really need to understand the medications (corticosteroids) and how to take them, how too much can effect you and too little can be deadly. You may also need to take salt tablets (I do!) and another medication called fludrocortisone that will help you maintain your potassium and sodium. All this will help you feel better. In addition, all your hormones should be monitored so you can be the best you can be.

Has anyone here every had hyperplasia of the breast?


I had surgery for calcifactions that were cancerous. I got the pathology report back today. A nurse called me and said some of the tissue they took came back with hyperplasia. Has anyone had that or know about what they do for it?
----------

Your question is confusing. Surgery for calcifications that were cancerous???
What was cancerous? The only way to tell whether it is cancerous or not is from tissue biopsy.
You said the Path report said it was hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is benign. Usual hyperplasia does not cause significant increased risk of developing cancer by itself without other factors such as family history, etc.
However, atypical hyperplasia does increase the risk of developing cancer. You need to talk to your surgeon who can tell you what to do from here on. Usually more follow up.
Best of luck.  (+ info)
