Treatment is Key! Finding the right ENT specialist is not always an easy task. You want to find a specialist that has experience in treating sinus and nasal problems.
Here are some reasons your sinus plumbing is backed-up
- Deviated Septum
The nasal septum is the wall dividing the nasal cavity into two halves. A deviated septum occurs when the septum is shifted away from the midline. - Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are shaped like teardrops and form as outgrowths on the mucous membranes of the nose and often occurs at the site of edematous tissue. - Turbinates
The turbinates are three bony projections in the nasal passage. The turbinates increase the surface area in the nasal cavity, filter and warm the air that passes through it. - Tumors
Tumors defined in simple terms are a swelling. When a tumor grows in the ostium (a small opening in the sinuses where drainage occurs), the sinuses become obstructed. - Obstructions
Inside the sinuses that reduce their ability to drain mucous which causes infection.
