Nasal congestion is usually caused by structural or inflammatory issues that narrow or block the nasal passages, leading to difficulty breathing. Sinusitis, on the other hand, is the inflammation of the sinuses, which causes nasal congestion, headaches, and a feeling of pressure in the facial area. Both conditions can be treated with medical treatment or, if necessary, surgical methods.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Deviated Nasal Septum and Nasal Turbinates<\/h2>\n

One of the main causes of nasal congestion, known as a deviated nasal septum, is a condition that can easily be corrected with surgery. Often, swelling of the structures inside the nose, known as turbinates, occurs alongside this issue. During surgery, these turbinates must also be reduced in size.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nasal Turbinate Hypertrophy <\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are structures in both nostrils that regulate the amount, temperature, and humidity of the air entering the nose by expanding and contracting. When these turbinates remain enlarged, they are one of the significant causes of nasal congestion. This condition is especially common in cases of nasal allergies. Treatment involves techniques like radiofrequency, microdebridement, or surgical methods to reduce the size of the turbinate without damaging its outer part.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Acute Sinusitis <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Acute sinusitis is an inflammation of the nose and the mucous membrane lining the sinuses caused by various viruses and bacteria. During this inflammation, the mucosa swells, which can block the sinus openings. As a result, the sinuses fill with inflamed mucus. This condition leads to severe pain in the face, fever, and nasal congestion. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are used in its treatment. If the condition lasts longer than three months, it is referred to as chronic sinusitis.<\/p>\n

Nasal Polyps <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chronic sinusitis, allergies, and chronic rhinitis are some inflammatory conditions that can lead to the growth of tissue in the nose and sinuses, resulting in the formation of polyps. In patients with genetic predisposition, polyps can fill the nasal passages completely, making it impossible for the patient to breathe through the nose. Treatment is usually surgical. These patients undergo endoscopic sinus surgery.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In cases of sinusitis and polyps (nasal tissue growth) that do not improve with long-term medication, an endoscopic system is used to access the sinuses through the nostrils. The sinus cavities are cleaned, and the openings are enlarged. This procedure is called endoscopic sinus surgery. Different techniques are applied depending on the sinus that needs to be treated. Patients are typically discharged from the hospital on the same day or the next day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nasal Allergy <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rhinits is the inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the inside of the nose. When this inflammation is caused by allergic factors, it is referred to as allergic rhinitis.<\/p>\n

It is typically characterized by severe nasal congestion, intermittent sneezing attacks (at least 3-4 times), eye watering, and itching in the nose. Treatment includes avoiding allergens, using medication, and, if necessary, surgery to reduce the size of the turbinates (nasal polyps).<\/p>\n

What can I do to protect myself from allergies?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Reduce the number of carpets and rugs in your home, and have someone who will frequently clean with a vacuum cleaner, other than the allergic person. A vacuum with an allergen filter is the best option.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not lay rugs on concrete floors; dust mites can accumulate.<\/li>\n
  3. Use synthetic polyester pillows instead of feather pillows.<\/li>\n
  4. Cover mattresses with plastic covers.<\/li>\n
  5. Frequently use air conditioners and dehumidifiers; dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments.<\/li>\n
  6. Another common cause of allergies is pet dander. Follow these steps:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
