What method can treat turbinate swell?

Turbinate fat can block nasal ventilation. But it doesn't exist alone, it's caused by long-term stimulation of inflammation. Nasal diseases such as rhinitis and sinusitis can also lead to hypertrophy of the turbinate, nasal polyps and curvature of the nasal septum. Only when the rhinitis is removed can the nose disease be completely cured.

Turbinate hypertrophy is treated with surgery, microwave, and radiofrequency ablation. In radiofrequency ablation, a 1.8 mm diameter "knife tip" (electrode) is inserted into the turbinate through the nasal cavity and ablation is carried out using the principle of plasma to shrink the hyperplastic turbinate tissue. Radiofrequency ablation at low temperature is a relatively new technology in recent years, the ablation process only takes 10 to 20 minutes, the operation is simple, no hospitalization, intraoperative bleeding, no pain, little damage to the nasal mucosa, no postoperative nasal packing, the patient can work after the operation. However, no matter what kind of treatment is based on the specific situation of the patient, the patient should go to the hospital with ear, nose and throat department, and let the specialist doctor decide the treatment plan. In daily life, we should pay attention to keep warm and try to reduce colds, because long-term cold can lead to chronic rhinitis, and turbinate hypertrophy is often caused by chronic rhinitis.

For the treatment of turbinate hypertrophy, if it is simply caused by edema, we do not recommend surgery for patients. In this case, as long as some drugs are dropped and insisted on for a period of time, many patients can be relieved. It is mainly due to the existence of chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity, which stimulates the nasal mucosa to make him edema and congestion. Then there is another situation, that is to say, the long-term control of this chronic rhinitis is not very ideal, the tissue hyperplasia under the turbinate, resulting in turbinate hypertrophy, in this case, the need for surgical treatment, in addition to his premise that is, how to identify turbinate hypertrophy, we give the patient with some ephedrine, if the turbinate contraction is very obvious, the effect is also very good, In this case, surgery is not necessary. If we give the patient with ephedrine, after three or four minutes, and then observe the patient's turbinate, there is no significant change, in this case, we recommend the patient for surgical treatment, of course, the operation is very simple, the traditional operation is to use scissors to cut off part of the swollen turbinate, this is not easy to accept, now use microwave, laser, and screen treatment, Whether it is light effect or heat effect, the main is to make his turbinate tissue necrosis and shed, solve the nasal ventilation
