Nasal septum deviation, ethmoid sinusitis, and why a deviated nasal septum causes sinusitis

Pathological deviated septum often has clinical symptoms, such as alternating or persistent nasal congestion, headache, nosebleeds and purulent discharge. Due to frequent nasal congestion, mouth breathing, and the accumulation of nasal secretions and bacteria, it is very easy to suffer from colds or chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, and can also hinder sinus drainage, secondary sinusitis. The severity of the symptoms of a deviated septum is related to the type and degree of the deviated septum.

The nasal septum deviates from the direction of its deviation, and there is a "C" shape that is biased to one side, and the manifestation symptom is usually unilateral nasal congestion; There is also an "S" shape that is biased to both sides, and nasal congestion is mostly bilateral. Traumatic dislocation of the septal cartilage, sometimes protruding into the nasal vestibule. The deviation of the high deviated part of the nasal septum is often in close contact with the middle turbinate, which can lead to the narrowing of the middle meatus.

**As soon as possible, as at present** the disease, septoplasty works very well. You can go with confidence.

First of all, if it is the first disease, surgery is not recommended, after all, surgery is also ***. The cost varies from hospital to hospital. I don't know what the advertisement says, I myself am a doctor of otolaryngology in a tertiary hospital, the so-called endoscopic surgery is only the improvement of surgical instruments, which can provide the surgeon with a better field of vision, which helps to completely remove the lesion, and the specific operation method has not changed qualitatively compared with before, and I also hope that the landlord will not believe the statement on the advertisement, this part is not minimally invasive!

It is recommended to go to a regular hospital**, type on your mobile phone, and give a hard score, it's all the truth.

Hello, according to your description, if the septum deviates and causes sinusitis, if the sinus drainage is poor, surgery is required. If a deviated septum causes persistent nasal congestion and poor sinus drainage, surgery is required to correct the submucosa of the nasal septum.

The nose is composed of three parts: the nose, the nasal cavity and the sinuses, and the nasal cavity is divided into two parts by a layer of partition, which is the nasal septum, which is very thin. When the septum of the human nose is deviated, it is easy to produce cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and headache due to the influence of the degree and location of the deviation. If the deviated part compresses the inferior or middle turbinates, it can cause reflex headache; At the same time, high deviation often blocks the sinus drainage opening, hinders sinus drainage, and can induce sinusitis.

In addition, due to nasal congestion and poor breathing, the air stays in the nasal cavity for too long, resulting in airflow staying in the nasal cavity, and the nasal cavity itself has bacteria and viruses, and once the viruses and bacteria multiply, they are prone to colds and upper respiratory tract infections, inducing sinusitis. What to do if the nasal septum is deviated and causes sinusitis? According to the actual situation of the patient, the sinusitis should be controlled first, and after the sinusitis is controlled, the headache symptoms should be reduced, and then the decision of whether to surgically correct the deviated nasal septum should be decided.

There are three major symptoms of a deviated nasal septum, blocked nose, nosebleeds, and snoring while sleeping. 》Is nasal septum deviation surgery safe? Experts from Wuhan Ren'an Hospital reminded:

The vast majority of people have a crooked septum, but the degree varies from person to person. Mild cases can still breathe freely, while severe cases can cause nasal congestion and affect normal breathing.

The Provincial Otolaryngology Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University is better in terms of equipment, technology, and experts.

Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses is collectively referred to as nasosinusitis. Sinusitis is a non-specific inflammation of the sinus mucosa and is a common rhinological disease. Sinusitis is a common disease, which can be divided into acute and chronic, acute purulent sinusitis is mostly secondary to acute rhinitis, with nasal congestion, purulent discharge, and headache as the main characteristics; Chronic purulent sinusitis is often secondary to acute purulent sinusitis, with purulent discharge as the main manifestation, and may be accompanied by nasal congestion, headache, and olfactory disturbances of varying severity.

Pay attention to exercise, combine work and rest, dress moderately, breathe more fresh air, avoid dry nose, and do not easily use nasal drops. Timely diagnosis and treatment of nasal lesions, and infection of adjacent lesions should be **.

Nasal septum deviation (also known as cristae): nasal septum deviation refers to an intranasal deformity in which the nasal septum deviates from the midline and causes clinical symptoms. In fact, most people's nasal septum has different degrees of deviation, if the degree of deviation is slight and does not cause the above clinical symptoms, it is generally not necessary**.

A deviated septum is diagnosed only when the septum deviates to one or both sides or if there is a local protrusion that causes nasal dysfunction or symptoms. The deviation is generally C-shaped or S-shaped, and if it is a sharp conical protrusion, it is called a bony spinous or rectangular process; If it is a strip-shaped ridge-like protrusion from front to back, it is called a bony crest.

The curvature of the nasal septum is a development of sinusitis. Keep your nasal passages moist and wash your nose with warm water. Rinse your nose with warm water for about 20 minutes.

Buy a small watering can, melt 4 5 drops of aged vinegar, and the acidity should be tolerable. When the nasal passages are dry, the nose is sprayed several times a day, and before going to bed. Ventilation in the room, humidification in the room, stay away from smokers, and quit smoking.

Blood-invigorating Chinese medicine can be used to assist in local massage.

The former is inflammation and the latter is deformity.

When choosing, you can't just look at one aspect, you need to consider many aspects, and the comprehensive description is good.

Your condition cannot be easily determined, and a careful nasal endoscopy and sinus CT must be performed to determine the diagnosis and regimen. Please come to the hospital outpatient ** check-up, my home call time is detailed in my personal **homepage.

Dr. Wang Xianzhong solemnly reminded that because the patient cannot be seen face-to-face and cannot fully understand the condition, it is recommended to only close the section for reference, and the specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of the doctor! ）

Yes, the local Provincial Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital affiliated to Shandong University is a household name.
