A deviated nasal septum, which means that the divider between the nasal passages is not in the right place, can make it hard to breathe, cause sinus problems, and keep you from sleeping. Targeted treatment clears the airways and makes daily life more comfortable. Dr. Naveed Basheeth at ENT Central in Palmerston North gives skilled care to help people with deviated septum problems.
How long do the good effects of deviated septum therapy last?
Medications can help for a short time, but septoplasty usually makes breathing and sinus problems better for good, as long as you follow up and take care of yourself.
Can treatment help me breathe better and stop snoring?
Yes, fixing the septum with surgery or medication opens up the airways, which makes breathing easier and reduces snoring, which helps you sleep better and feel better during the day.
Are treatments for a deviated septum safe and easy to handle?
Yes, therapies like septoplasty don't require any cuts on the outside of the body, which means they cause very little pain. Mild symptoms can be easily handled for a smooth recovery.
Do I need surgery for my crooked septum?
Not always; moderate cases may get better with drugs, but major aberrations usually need septoplasty for long-term relief, which is determined after rigorous evaluation.
