Does turbinate hypertrophy need an operation?
Hello, this friend, according to your description, you may suffer from chronic rhinitis, and you are usually in a standing or sitting state during the day. At night, when you sleep on your side, because the human blood itself is affected by gravity and you suffer from inflammation and congestion, it is easy to cause the nasal cavity on your side to be blocked, which leads to insufficient oxygen supply to your brain during sleep, and you feel sleepy. Even in severe cases, it may lead to apnea, being awakened, and so on.

You don't have to worry about the idea that you want to get pregnant, and worry that the lack of oxygen caused by rhinitis will affect the fetal development. Even women who have no history of rhinitis will have turbinate hypertrophy's nasal obstruction during pregnancy, which is medically called rhinitis during pregnancy. Considering that you have a history of rhinitis, congestion of turbinate may be aggravated during pregnancy. But don't worry too much.

As for the operation problem you mentioned, I suggest that you don't blindly adopt the surgical treatment method. Although there is little effect on turbinate hypertrophy's drug treatment in clinic at present, it is recommended to adopt conservative drug treatment for patients who are not yet in organic lesions. Endoscopic nasal surgery can take local anesthesia or general anesthesia. If you consider surgery, local anesthesia is recommended, which is almost painless and beneficial to future pregnancy.

I wish you a recovery. If you don't understand, please ask.
