What is Nasal Septum Deviation?
The nasal septum is a structure made of cartilage and bone that divides your nose into two separate nostrils. Ideally, the septum is located in the center of the nose, allowing both nostrils to receive air equally. However, in cases of nasal septum deviation, this structure bends or shifts to one side. This condition can lead to nasal congestion and other respiratory problems.Causes of Nasal Septum Deviation
Nasal septum deviation can be congenital or may occur due to trauma. Injuries to the nose, sports accidents, or other impacts can cause the septum to bend. Additionally, age-related changes in the nasal structure can also increase the risk of deviation.Symptoms of Nasal Septum Deviation
Nasal septum deviation can range from mild to severe and may cause various respiratory issues. Here are the most common symptoms:- Nasal Congestion: Deviation can cause one or both nostrils to become blocked, especially during colds or allergies.
- Difficulty Breathing: Nasal congestion can make breathing difficult, affecting daily activities.
- Snoring and Sleep Apnea: Deviation can lead to snoring and even sleep apnea.
- Recurrent Sinus Infections: Nasal congestion can prevent proper sinus drainage, leading to recurrent sinus infections.
- Facial Pain: In some cases, deviation can cause facial pain or headaches.
Diagnosis of Nasal Septum Deviation
At Forever Clinica, our expert doctors conduct a detailed examination process to diagnose nasal septum deviation. The following methods are used:- Physical Examination: Your doctor will examine the inside of your nose using a special tool to assess the degree of deviation.
- Endoscopic Examination: Endoscopic methods may be used for a more detailed examination of the nasal cavity.
- Imaging Techniques: In some cases, imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) may be used to evaluate the septum’s structure more clearly.
Treatment Options for Nasal Septum Deviation
The treatment of nasal septum deviation varies depending on the severity of the condition and how it affects the patient’s quality of life. At Forever Clinica, we offer personalized treatment plans for each patient.1. Medication
For mild cases of deviation, nasal sprays or decongestants may be recommended to relieve nasal congestion. However, these methods do not correct the deviation; they only alleviate symptoms.2. Surgical Treatment: Septoplasty
In severe cases of deviation, surgical intervention may be necessary. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the deviated septum and opens the nasal passages. At Forever Clinica, septoplasty is performed by our experienced surgeons using minimally invasive techniques, ensuring a quick recovery for patients.Recovery Process After Septoplasty
The recovery process after septoplasty is usually quick and comfortable. Mild pain and swelling may occur for a few days after the surgery, but this will subside quickly. Your doctor will provide detailed information on what to expect during the recovery process.3. Combined Treatments
In some cases, additional procedures such as rhinoplasty may be required alongside nasal septum deviation treatment. At Forever Clinica, we offer combined treatment options to meet both functional and aesthetic needs.The Forever Clinica Difference in Nasal Septum Deviation Treatment
