Crooked Nasal Septum, Surgical Or Not?

Scoliosis in the nose is quite common. Most patients go for a physical exam (with a nose test), often in the case of a diagnosis of a septal scoliosis.
What is a nasal septum?
The septum is part of the nasal cavity and divided into two nasal cavities, it is composed of cartilage, bone, with a length of 8 cm, going from the nasal vestibule to the nasopharynx arch.
According to Dr. Pham Thanh Son, Department of Ear - Nose - Throat, Cho Ray Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City), cases of scoliosis are very common

. Most of the cause is congenital.
However, at first, the bulging of the septum showed no obvious signs. When growing up, the body develops, the bones grow along, at which time the symptoms manifestations of scoliosis become more and more clear
Therefore, there are many cases when a doctor diagnoses septum scoliosis, the patient wonders, "I did not fall, I was hit by a bump but I had a scoliosis.



"
Just like when a doctor said it was a congenital disease, many people wondered, "Why is it so long that the disease has not occurred?"
In addition to people with congenital diseases, there are also cases of septum scoliosis due to trauma in the nose area (due to falls, bumps, beatings ...).
Manifestations of crooked nasal septum
As mentioned above, many cases of scarred septum usually do not show much. But, after suffering from a prolonged, persistent cold, the patient went to a specialist for examination or through a general physical examination was discovered.
Most people find themselves with a nasal septum
Stuffy nose
Scoliosis on one side often causes the person to have a stuffy nose with the side of the scum.



This nasal congestion often occurs, but because the patient has become 'accustomed to' this sensation, it is not noticeable, but if you put your fingers on one side of the nose, the other side of the nose on the crooked septum will clearly see. nasal congenital condition. If you have a pinched wall on both sides (S-shaped scoliosis), it will cause a stuffy nose on both sides, and the disease will not show up well in the normal period of nose without infection.
Headache
A common symptom of a pinched nasal septum, which leads patients to the doctor is a headache. Headache often, right or left, depending on the scoliosis; can be sore in the eye sockets along with the scaly septum, may be sore on both sides and spread to the occipital area behind. Symptoms of this headache, although not intense, but often dull ache, persistent pain makes people uncomfortable throughout the day
Sometimes I go back to sleep at night, but then I recur. Headaches increase much when the sun is intense, or when it is too cold, or women are on menstrual days.
There are cases where the nose is not inflamed, but it keeps getting a headache all the time.



Symptoms of headache often cause discomfort, difficulty working and making people with ‘fancy’, and ‘dislike’.
Rhinitis, sinusitis
According to the doctor, if the stuffy condition due to prolonged wall scoliosis, it will lead to rhinitis, sinusitis.
The condition of long nasal congestion also affects cardiovascular disease (due to poor airway, inadequate oxygen intake), affecting memory, productivity.
In addition, if the walls are twisted for a long time, it can create a stimulating point in the nasal cavity, increase the allergic rhinitis and aggravate the existing asthma in patients, in addition to doing reduced olfactory capacity ...
There need surgery nasal septum?
The line between surgery and no surgery in scoliosis, the doctor said why the patient sounds reasonable.
In fact, there are many cases, for the sake of .



.. something, which leads to the doctor appointing 'launchers' in the treatment of septum scoliosis: every crooked is for surgery to correct scoliosis!
However, depending on the case, the direction of treatment will be different, rather than crooked septum is surgery. If the scoliosis is mild and causes few symptoms, the specialist only needs to adjust, straighten the walls a little bit, not need surgery.
If the scoliosis is severe, causing severe and prolonged symptoms, then surgery is required (in the classical method, or in the endoscopy method) to fix the septum.
When correcting a septum, the doctor may cut or trim a portion, but it may also cut the entire septum, as appropriate.
The medical treatment (by medicine) in scoliosis is only the treatment of symptoms caused by scoliosis..
