Overview
A deviated nasal septum, where the nasal septum is displaced to one side, is a common condition treated in rhinology. At MMC’s Dubai ENT Clinic, we offer specialized evaluation and treatment for patients with a deviated septum, focusing on improving nasal function and overall quality of life.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of a deviated nasal septum can include:
- Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
- Nasal congestion, often worse on one side
- Frequent nosebleeds
- Facial pain or headaches
- Snoring and sleep apnea
Causes
The causes of a deviated septum vary and may include:
- Congenital condition present at birth
- Injury to the nose, such as from sports or accidents
- Normal aging process leading to changes in nasal structures
Diagnosis & Classification
Diagnosis at MMC involves a thorough physical examination, including nasal endoscopy and possibly imaging studies, to assess the extent of the deviation and its impact on nasal function.
Prevention
While a deviated septum from birth cannot be prevented, reducing the risk of nasal injuries can help. This includes wearing protective gear during sports and taking care when engaged in physical activities.
Treatment
Treatment options at MMC for a deviated nasal septum range from conservative to surgical interventions, such as:
- Decongestants and nasal corticosteroids to manage symptoms
- Septoplasty surgery to correct the septum
- Rhinoplasty for combined aesthetic and functional correction
- Lifestyle modifications to manage associated symptoms like allergies
