Is it true that Anaesthetic can take off 10 years of your life?!


Question: Is it true that Anaesthetic can take off 10 years of your life!?
Hello,

I am a nineteen year old female who has already underwent a few surgeries!. I have heard from many people over the past few years that everytime you go under local anaesthetic, it can take 10 years off your life!

Truth or Myth!?

If anyone knows anything about this, feel free to explain!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Complete nonsense!. Local anesthetic won't have any negative effect!. General anesthesia, improperly done, can take all the years off your life -- that's why its a separate medical specialty!. The negative effects of general anesthesia are most pronounced in the elderly, where it creates an increased risk of pneumonia and cognitive decline!. Anesthesiologists know this stuff and pick their drugs accordingly!. If you go in for surgery the anesthesiologist and/or anesthetist will meet with you -- don't be afraid to ask questions or express concerns!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have never heard this but I am going to say a myth!. If it was true, one of my duaghters would be in big trouble!. She has also had a number of surgeries in her 12 years of life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Definitely myth,if that was the case I should be dead I have had so many operations big and small
Take no notice of that mythWww@Answer-Health@Com
