Burun Obstruction, Sinusitis and Treatments
WHAT CAUSES NOSE CONGENATION?
Breathing through the nose is vital for every organ from our brain to our heart, from our hair to our toenails. Not being able to breathe comfortably is a condition that causes headache, tired exhaustion in the morning, waking up in the morning, causing tendency to sleep during the day and chronic fatigue.
It is considered normal that both nostrils are blocked and opened at regular intervals during the day. But the constant nasal congestion points to the problems that need to be solved.
Nasal obstruction due to upper respiratory tract infections, chronic smoking, bad weather, or short-term allergic problems. In these cases, the solution is mostly simple methods such as nasal sprays, allergy medicines, using salted bicarbonate water and swimming in the sea.
Prolonged nasal obstruction is usually caused by the curvature of the nasal mast (deviation), the size of the nasal flesh (Konka), the growth of nasal flesh, nasal polyps (which may be caused by allergies or sinusitis), chronic sinusitis. Long-term allergic rhinitis (rhinitis) may be another cause of chronic nasal congestion. Non-allergies are usually problems that can be solved by simple short operations.
The most common causes of nasal congestion in children are allergic problems and the presence of nasal flesh. The solution is to treat allergy and remove nasal flesh.
WHEN DOES A CLOSED NOSE THREAT OUR HEALTH?
We see that heart and lung problems increase when nasal obstruction persists for many years. We know that chronic upper respiratory tract obstructions can cause snoring, breathing stops during sleep, blood pressure problems, rhythm disturbances, asthma enhancing effects, sexual dysfunctions, heart attacks and brain hemorrhage.
The point that makes the nose so important for the health of all our organs is that it is the organ that transports oxygen, which is the basic substance for the survival of our cells, to our body in a healthy way.
In situations where the nose is always clogged, we may encounter the problems we just mentioned in a period of our lives.
Nasal obstructions that cannot be treated for a long time threaten our health. We have to solve this problem both with medication and surgery.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS OF PATIENTS?
Nasal congestion, inability to breathe through the nose, headache, snoring or tired exhaustion in the morning, runny nose, runny nose, decrease in work performance during the day, chronic fatigue are the main complaints.
WHICH HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE?
Frequent recurrent throat infections and involuntary pharyngitis may occur as a result of continuous mouth breathing.
Snoring and sleep disorders develop.
As a result of breathing stops during sleep, blood pressure and heart rhythm disorder may develop.
Patients with asthma have increased problems.
Morning dry mouth develops.
Sexual dysfunction occurs.
Tendency to the development of psychological problems. These patients complain that they are particularly irritable.
The sound quality deteriorates and nasal speech develops.
Children may have sweating at the neck and sometimes wetting the neck at night
Chronic fatigue syndrome may develop
It can trigger migraine and cause chronic headache problems.
WHICH METHODS ARE APPLIED FOR A COMFORTABLE BREATH?
Primarily, drug treatment tries to eliminate chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal flesh growth problems and eliminate nasal congestion. If there is no improvement, the operation can be applied.
WHEN IS THE CONDITION, WHEN THE DECISION IS DECIDED? HOW IS AN OPERATION APPLIED FOR CONGULATION?
If we cannot solve the nasal congestion due to nasal flesh growth despite drug treatment, we reduce the nasal flesh with radio frequency or laser and open the airway. In cases that do not respond to drug treatment in chronic sinusitis occlusions, balloon, laser, and endoscopic navigation operations can be used to treat sinusitis.
Drug treatment in nasal congestion cases with cartilage inclinations, which we call nose deviation, is unfortunately not working and we can perform endoscopic or classical methods of surgery to open the airway.
Nasal deviation operations have changed considerably compared to the previous ones. In the past, these operations were performed under local anesthesia and were known as painful operations. Very rough instruments were used during surgery. Post-operative tampons were diaper tampons and caused pain when removed. Patients had to stay in the hospital for a few days after the operation.
Today, our operations have become painless operations by taking advantage of the superior comfort of general anesthesia. Now, these operations have taken the form of endoscopic septoplasty using micro instruments under the guidance of endoscopy and have been followed by computer screen and become simple operations with cameras.
When you look at the mirror in the evening after this operation, there is no problem with the appearance of stitching, bruising, shape change, gypsum swelling or blood sitting on the face. So you can see exactly what the face is before the operation and then the same. Bruising is done by breaking because the swelling gypsum stitching happens in aesthetic operation. Although the rhinoplasty operation can be performed without bruising without breaking with the ultrasonic device.
Patients who are discharged on the same day after the operation can continue their work within a few days.
These comfort and painless operation techniques provided by the technology may please physicians more than patients.
