Neither juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) nor otosclerosis is primarily treated with medications. JNA is a benign but highly vascular tumour that requires surgical removal, often after a procedure called embolization to reduce bleeding during surgery. Otosclerosis, which causes hearing loss due to abnormal bone growth in the middle ear, is mainly managed with surgical treatment such as stapedectomy or stapedotomy or with hearing aids. While certain medications may sometimes be prescribed to slow disease progression in otosclerosis, they are not curative. It is important to consult an ENT specialist for individualised treatment planning and to avoid self-medication, as these conditions require specialised care.
