Harm of deviation of nasal septum
Deviation of nasal septum is harmful, which may lead to nosebleeds, intracranial complications, sinusitis, nasal congestion and other harmful situations. Beauty lovers should pay enough attention to it.
1, nosebleeds: nosebleeds are a common symptom, which usually occur on the deviated convex surface, the top of the bony spine or the top of the bony crest, where the mucosa is thin. Often stimulated by airflow and dust, it is prone to erosion and bleeding.
2. Intracranial complications: this kind of deviation of nasal septum is rare, but the abscess of nasal septum or the breakage of sieve plate increase the chance of intracranial infection, resulting in serious consequences of intracranial complications such as intracranial infection.
3, sinusitis, nasal congestion: deviation of nasal septum will disturb the airflow of nasal cavity, destroy the normal drainage of sinus, and cause sinusitis; If the nasal septum is biased to one side, it is often a unilateral nasal obstruction; If it is deviated to both sides, such as S-shaped deviation, the nasal congestion is mostly bilateral. However, if compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate occurs on the opposite side, bilateral nasal congestion can also occur.
What are the effects of nasal septum deviation?
First of all, nosebleeds
There are particularly dense vascular plexus in vestibular mucosa of nasal septum. If this part of the nasal septum is bent, it will face the inhaled air, making the air cold and dry, and the mucosa will be stimulated, which will easily cause congestion. When blood vessels dilate, it is easy to rupture and bleed, and the blood clot at the bleeding place will condense in this part, which will easily cause itching after drying.
Second, nasal congestion (the root of all evil)
When the nasal septum is severely bent, it will often narrow the curved nasal cavity, hinder the entry of air, and cause a considerable degree of nasal congestion, which in turn will cause long-term hypoxia in the brain, which will make people's memory decline and their minds feel groggy.
If the trigeminal nerve is compressed, it is easy to cause a headache. If you breathe with your mouth open because of nasal congestion, people are more likely to have symptoms related to dry throat or chronic pharyngitis.
Third, it causes sinusitis or nasal polyps.
Severe nasal septum bending not only affects the smoothness of nasal passages and causes nasal congestion, but also causes chronic inflammation of the entire nasal mucosa. This kind of inflammation occurs repeatedly and accumulates over time, which will gradually affect the normal excretion of sinus. Once the mucosa at the opening of each sinus thickens, the function of the sinus is affected, which is prone to sinusitis and, more importantly, a breeding ground for nasal polyps. Although long nasal polyps have genetic factors, long-term nasal congestion is still the main cause of nasal polyps.
Fourth, allergic rhinitis (physical allergy) is prone to occur.
Because the curved part of the nasal septum often contacts with the inferior turbinate, it is easy to cause allergic rhinitis. Although this allergy is not directly related to the nasal septum from the pathological point of view, from the observation of clinical cases, every organ of the human body has a certain growth position, as long as the inferior turbinate touches the nasal septum, it will produce allergic allergic reaction, so the curved nasal septum can not but be said to be an important inducement of allergic rhinitis.
Surgical risk of nasal septum deviation
1, nasal congestion: it is often the main symptom. Deviation to one side is often unilateral nasal congestion; If it is deviated to both sides, such as S-shaped deviation, the nasal congestion is mostly bilateral.
2, bleeding: bleeding after surgery, mostly due to rough operation during surgery or patients with coagulation mechanism obstacles.
3. Infection: Postoperative wound infection may be caused by incomplete disinfection before or during operation.
Matters needing attention in the operation of deviated nasal septum
1 beauty lovers should clean their faces before treatment of nasal septum deviation.
Do not put on makeup on the day of operation, so as not to affect the plastic surgeon's accurate surgical plan.
3 avoid heavy objects hitting the nose after operation.
Avoid eating some spicy food.
Don't let the surgical site get wet within a week to avoid infection and affect the presentation of good postoperative results.
