My wife has the same thing. It isn't going to effect anything. It is a genetic thing.

We can't tell from here. Many medications can cause dizziness, but dizziness on only one side is not typical. I think that you need to talk with your oral surgeon about this.

This is called inverted nipples and it is perfectly normal. I have them as well.  You can still do all of the things that other women can, breast feed, enjoy stimulation etc.  Having a regular sex life tells me that whomever your partner is does not mind your nipples, so why should you?

The uvula is a small cone-shaped mass of tissue hanging down from the soft palate, near the back of the throat. The word is derived from the diminutive of uva, the Latin word for "grape", due to the uvula's grape-like shape.\n\n\n\n\nThe uvula plays an important role in the creation of the sound of the human voice. It functions in tandem with the back of the throat, the palate, and air coming up from the lungs to create a number of guttural and other sounds. Consonants pronounced with the uvula are not found in English; however, languages such as Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, and Ubykh use uvular consonants to varying degrees. Certain African languages use the uvula to produce click consonants, as well.\n\nThe uvula also contributes to snoring or heavy breathing during sleep; having an elongated uvula can cause vibrations which lead to the snoring. In some cases this can lead to sleep apnea, which may be treated by removal of the uvula or part of the uvula if necessary.\n\nSplitting of the uvula occurs infrequently but is the most common form of mouth and nose area cleavage among newborns (roughly 2% of infants have this bifid or split uvula). Newborns with cleft palate also have a split uvula.

I have never know anyone with such a surgery but this is my advice. Don't be in a hurry to use your voice. Let it have plenty of time to rest. Otherwise you may cause damage that can't be undone. I know someone who had hernia surgery and refused to listen to their doctor, he told me he'd never go against doctors orders again on any thing. I didknow someone who had a trach put in and couldn't make a sound for a long time because it bypassed his vocal chords. He didn't make a sound for nearly two years. If your doctor is allowing you to drink room temp beverages then do it when he says you can have warm or hot then do that. But be kind to your voice and let it rest, you'll be glad you did. Just write notes when you need to talk. Or on your pc enlarge the Fonts. Move your curser across the tool bar at the top of your e-mail screen until it says Font size and make them as large as you need to talk to people near your pc. Hope you won't have to wait long, in meantime use this site to keep your mind and hands busy and the time will pass quicker for you. Just be glad you don't have to wait 2 years to make sounds of any kind. : )

Sleep upside down like a bat.  Some people just snore and there is little you can do about it.  you can talk to your doctor about having your uvula removed but most insurances do not cover it.

Haha! You're weird. No, seriously... have a trainer look at it and recommend exercises for that side of your back. Are you in a profession where you "favor" one side over the other? (Digging, for example.) That might explain it. Or you could get to a doctor for an evaluation just to ensure that both sides of your body are in synch. I'm thinking of scoliosis, but that's just a guess.

The "dangly bit" is called the uvula and when it is inflamed and swollen, that's called uvulitis.  This is not tonsillitis! Your girlfriend needs to have someone drive her to an ER now before she goes into respiratory distress.  Call her now and advise her to avoid gargling or drinking.  Nothing by mouth!  Understand?  Get her to an ER.

it depends.  if you have darker colored skin this is normal, because of the pigmintation (yes there is pigmintation in the mouth).  has this always been there?  if so, no worries.  but if you're truely concerned, go see your dentist.

No. Your voice originates from your larynx, not your uvula.

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

it is . , it cld be that the left side takes long to removed thus it gives you a greater infammation .the longer the procedure the more trauma it give to the tissue around it.lower teeth are much harder to remove most of the time due to the bone density on the mandible as compared tot he upper(maxillary bone). Dont worry it will be be ok . help it by taking the medicines the doc gave you..\nyou will be fine honey. And dont talk much , let it rest .

I had the uvula and most of the soft pallet removed - my deviated spetum worked on. The recovery was rough and took about a week before I could eat solids again. Before the surgery my wife and I could not sleep inthe same room together. Now I still snore and we sleep head to foot but its worth it. I only sore loud when i drink or when Im super tired .... \n\nProblems hmm thats funny - I cant chug a beer any more it foams and comes out my nose.  Some times I'll gag on salavia - Not sure why but I did nt do that before the surgery.

On only one side. Which one depends upon how you hold the cup
