Rhinology & Sinus Diseases
The nasal passage allows airflow into the lung and is divided into two sides by the nasal septum. A Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS), is pushed to the right or left or the nose might grow abnormally causing nasal airway obstruction and resulting in sinus problems. The infections in the nose and sinuses cause breathing difficulty, decreased sensation of smell, taste and recurrent headaches. Any overgrowth of lining tissue in the nose cause nasal polyps. Decongestant nasal drops and/or sprays & medical management provide short-term relief.
With advanced diagnostic modalities, our experts can arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Well-planned minimally invasive endoscopic procedures via nostrils and endoscopic surgical intervention are best suited to overcome obstructive and infective conditions. These surgical measures coupled with medications and anti-allergic measures will provide a permanent cure for the patient.
The ENT speciality especially Rhinology, primarily deals with ailments due to various allergies, nasal obstructions, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis etc. In general, patients approach the ENT specialists with a history of postnasal drip, facial pressure in and around the nose, eyes, and forehead etc. Sinusitis is more common in people with allergies, nasal polyps, asthma, and abnormal nose structures.
Multiple techniques with the latest technology are adopted in treating various conditions. Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to treat chronic or recurring sinus infections. This technique helps to widen the narrow or obstructed sinus drainage pathways. This is very useful in recurrent frontal sinus diseases where multiple surgeries fail. Turbinate surgeries are also performed in conjunction to overcome nasal obstruction and breathing difficulties. With minimally invasive techniques & endoscopic approaches, a variety of procedures are performed namely Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), Septoplasty, Tuboplasty, etc. Nasal endoscopic approaches are used to remove skull base tumours, such as pituitary tumours and meningiomas.
Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a treatment for excessive watering of the eyes.

In the cases of persisting nosebleeds, try to cover the nose with fresh cotton or with a clean cloth and seek medical care for cauterization as the posterior nosebleeds are more common in the elderly and those with high blood pressure or on asprin based medications.
Why do some people exhale forcefully with noise ?
