Chronic sinusitis occurs when the areas within your nose and face (sinuses) become swollen and inflamed for three months or more despite treatment. By interfering with the normal evacuation of mucus, this common condition causes your nose to become stuffy. Breathing through your nose may be difficult, and the area around your eyes may be swollen or painful. Sinusitis can be caused by an infection, growths in the sinuses (nasal polyps), or swelling of the sinus lining. Adults and children can both be affected by the ailment, which is also known as chronic rhinosinusitis.
When Does Surgery Become Necessary?
It is conditional on the cause. Sinusitis is a condition in which the sinuses enlarge, causing congestion and discomfort. Your nasal passages might get blocked for a variety of reasons, resulting in this ailment. Here are a few examples:
- Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections.
- Sinus polyps are little growths on the lining of your sinuses.
- Allergies.
- A crooked wall between your nostrils is known as a deviated septum.
If your sinusitis is caused by a deviated nasal septum, polyps, or other structural issues, surgery may be required. The primary goals of sinus surgery are to alleviate symptoms and reduce the number of infections you receive.
The procedure should also make it easier for you to breathe through your nose. If your sense of smell or taste has been harmed by chronic congestion, surgery may be able to help.
Types of Surgical Procedures
You have several alternatives if you decide to get surgery. Endoscopy and balloon Sinuplasty are two of them:
- Endoscopy- This is a standard practice. Endoscopes are incredibly thin equipment that doctors place into your nose. A small camera lens on one of the instruments delivers images back to a screen. The doctor will be able to see where your sinuses are obstructed and guide the other equipment that will gently remove polyps, scar tissue, and other obstructions.
- Balloon Sinuplasty- You might be a suitable candidate for this newer type of surgery if your doctor doesn’t need to remove anything from your sinuses. A tiny tube is inserted into your nose by the doctor. A little balloon is attached to one end of it. They next inflate the balloon after guiding it to the obstructed spot within your nose. This helps to cleanse the pathway, allowing your sinuses to drain more effectively and reducing congestion.
Conclusion
A few days following the surgery, you should start to feel better and have less symptoms.
Please remember that surgery for sinusitis does not always result in a cure. Instead, consider it as part of your entire therapy strategy. You may still develop sinus infections from time to time, for example. Your doctor may also advise you to continue using saline rinses, antibiotics, or other medications to cure your condition in the days following surgery.
