What is turbinate hypertrophy? How is turbinate hypertrophy treated?
Turbinate hypertrophy refers to chronic inflammation of turbinate, which causes edema of turbinate mucosa and nasal congestion. Turbinate hypertrophy's treatment includes surgery, microwave and radiofrequency ablation. Low temperature radiofrequency ablation is a relatively new technology in recent years, and the ablation process only takes 10 ~ 20 minutes. The operation is simple and does not require hospitalization. But no matter what kind of treatment depends on the patient's specific situation, in daily life, we should pay attention to keep warm and try to reduce colds, because long-term colds can lead to chronic rhinitis, and turbinate hypertrophy is often caused by chronic rhinitis.

Radio frequency is a safe and effective method to treat turbinate hypertrophy! Turbinate hypertrophy can cause nasal congestion, but conventional drug treatment is ineffective. At present, there are many methods to reduce the volume of inferior turbinate, such as total or partial resection of inferior turbinate, electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser therapy and so on. Although these methods are effective, nasal cavity adhesion, dryness, bleeding and so on. It often occurs because of more mucosal damage on the surface of turbinate. Radio frequency can form thermal damage under the mucosa without destroying the surface mucosa, so it can overcome the shortcomings of other treatment methods mentioned above.
