๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ข๐: Unlike thick or yellowish mucus, brain fluid looks exactly like clear water.
-> ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐: The fluid often leaves a noticeably salty or sweet taste in your mouth.
-> ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ : The leaking heavily increases when you lean forward, such as when picking something up.
While head injuries cause 80-90% of these cases, spontaneous leaks can also happen without any injury at all.
The good news is that modern medicine offers highly effective treatments. If conservative measures don't work, surgical intervention is the next step. Today, we perform endoscopic surgery entirely through the nostrilsโwith absolutely no external cuts or bruising! We confirm the leak using the "gold standard" Beta-2 Transferrin test to provide a definitive answer before proceeding with any treatment.
If you suspect you are leaking brain fluid, do not try home remedies or "wait it out". Get a definitive diagnosis and an expert evaluation with ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐จ .
