Curvature of the nasal septum

This is a deviation of the nasal septum from the midline, which can cause difficulty in nasal breathing and contribute to the development of chronic diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
Curvature of the nasal septum
The nasal septum is a bone—cartilaginous plate that divides the nasal cavity into two parts. Ideally, the septum should be located exactly in the center of the nasal cavity, but in most people it has a slight curvature that does not cause problems. However, a significant deviation of the septum can lead to difficulty breathing, frequent infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (episodes of respiratory arrest during sleep on the background of snoring).

Reasons

Nose injuries (bumps, fractures)

Congenital malformations

Abnormal bone growth in adolescence

Surgical interventions on the nasal cavity

Genetic predisposition

Symptoms

Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils

Frequent or chronic infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses

Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea

Headaches

Dry nose

"Constant" runny nose

Rapid fatigue, especially during physical exertion

Possible nosebleeds, crusts in the nose

Consequences

Curvature of the nasal septum can lead to chronic breathing problems, recurrent sinusitis and an increase in the frequency of upper respiratory tract infections. Patients may develop sleep disorders such as apnea, as well as chronic fatigue and decreased concentration.

Treatment

alt
Surgical treatment:
Surgery to correct the curvature of the nasal septum is called septoplasty. The removal of the deformity is performed under general anesthesia and performed intranasally, without incisions on the skin, so you will not have any cosmetic defects. Modern septoplasty is performed under video endoscopic control, and surgical tactics are selected individually, based on the anatomical characteristics of the patient, and discussed in consultation with a doctor.

Conservative treatment:
Symptoms can be managed with nasal sprays, which help reduce inflammation and maintain mucosal hydration. But full-fledged treatment and getting rid of negative symptoms of curvature of the nasal septum is possible only by surgical methods.
