Difference and treatment of turbinate hypertrophy, sinusitis, nasal polyps and nasal septum deviation.
1. According to your symptoms, you really should have an operation.

Because I haven't checked for several years, I can't judge how the disease is developing, and I don't know if there are any new problems.

What you need to understand is that nasal septum deviation can't be controlled by drug treatment. Nasal septum is cartilage tissue wrapped by nasal mucosa. If the degree of deviation of nasal septum is too large (90% people have deviation of nasal septum in different degrees, but most people have a low degree of deviation, which does not affect nasal function and does not need special treatment), and seriously affects ventilation, they should be operated immediately. It's like a fracture can only be corrected by plaster or splint, and it's not enough to take medicine only. Moreover, turbinate hypertrophy and nasal septum deviation are interactive. Turbinate hypertrophy causes the turbinate to compress the nasal septum, which will cause the nasal septum to deflect; At the same time, the deviation of nasal septum will press the turbinate in turn, and the two will influence each other. If it is not treated in time, it will only get worse.

2. Minimally invasive surgery can be used to treat nasal septum deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. Using Jesse low-temperature plasma minimally invasive ablation in the United States, we can instantly vaporize and ablate the hypertrophic turbinate (ask Du Niang what plasma ablation is) without damaging the surrounding normal nasal mucosa. At the same time, through Shenyang Minsheng Otolaryngology Department-functional endoscopic surgery, with the help of endoscope, Medtronic power system was used to correct nasal septum deviation. Medtronic's cutter head rotates as high as 3000 rpm, which can easily cut off excess cartilage without causing additional traction injury.

This operation is done in different places and the price is different. Of course, it is safe to go to a regular otolaryngology department. If nasal septum correction is treated by minimally invasive method, it needs to be hospitalized for 4-7 days, and the hospitalization time will be longer if conventional surgery is performed. If you are hospitalized, the medical insurance card can cover most of them, and it won't be expensive. Don't worry.

The above answer comes from Shenyang Minsheng Otolaryngology Department, and I hope it will help you.
