Introduction<\/p>\n
Persistent nasal blockage is more than just a temporary inconvenience. While many people blame allergies or seasonal infections, long-term nasal obstruction may be caused by a structural condition called Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS).<\/p>\n
Patients often live with breathing difficulty for years without realizing that a treatable structural problem may be the underlying cause.<\/p>\n
Consulting the Best ENT Surgeon helps identify the problem accurately and determine the most effective treatment.<\/p>\n
What Is a Deviated Nasal Septum?<\/p>\n
The nasal septum is the wall that divides the nose into two air passages.<\/p>\n
When this wall becomes tilted or deviated to one side, it can partially block airflow and cause breathing problems.<\/p>\n
This condition is called Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS).<\/p>\n
Causes of Deviated Nasal Septum<\/p>\n
DNS may develop due to:<\/p>\n
Congenital nasal structure<\/p>\n
Injury to the nose<\/p>\n
Road accidents<\/p>\n
Sports injuries<\/p>\n
Growth-related anatomical changes<\/p>\n
Symptoms of Deviated Nasal Septum<\/p>\n
Common symptoms include:<\/p>\n
Chronic nasal blockage<\/p>\n
Difficulty breathing through the nose<\/p>\n
Frequent sinus infections<\/p>\n
Headaches<\/p>\n
Snoring during sleep<\/p>\n
Nose bleeds ( Sometimes )<\/p>\n
These symptoms may worsen at night or during seasonal allergies.<\/p>\n
Diagnosis by an ENT Specialist<\/p>\n
At Dr. Meenakshi Singh ENT Clinic, evaluation may include:<\/p>\n
Detailed nasal examination<\/p>\n
