How is Deviated Nasal Septum Diagnosed?

An ENT specialist uses several diagnostic approaches, such as:

Checking inside the nostrils using a nasal speculum.
A thin, flexible tube with a light and camera is used to view the nasal passages.
CT scans or X-rays may be recommended to assess the extent of deviation.
Detailed evaluation of breathing issues, sleep problems, and sinus history.

Advanced Treatment Options for Deviated Nasal Septum

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms:

Medications: Nasal sprays, antihistamines, or decongestants may provide temporary relief but do not correct the deviation.
Septoplasty: The most effective surgical procedure where the deviated portion of the septum is repositioned or removed to improve airflow.
Endoscopic Septoplasty: A minimally invasive approach that uses an endoscope for precision and faster recovery.
Combined Procedures: Septoplasty may be done with sinus surgery or rhinoplasty for functional and aesthetic benefits.

Recovery Time

Most patients recover within 1 to 2 weeks after septoplasty, though complete healing of internal tissues may take a few months. Swelling and nasal congestion improve gradually, and breathing becomes noticeably better within a few weeks.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before Surgery: The doctor will assess your medical history, conduct nasal examinations, and order diagnostic tests. You may need to avoid blood-thinning medications.

During Surgery: The procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Surgeons work inside the nostrils, so no visible scars remain.

After Surgery: Nasal packing or splints may be placed to support healing. Patients can usually go home the same day and resume light activities within a week.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First Week: Mild swelling, stuffiness, or nasal discharge may occur. Rest and limited activity are advised.
Two Weeks: Most swelling subsides, and breathing improves significantly.
One Month: Patients can return to normal physical activities.
Long-Term: Breathing issues and sinus infections reduce drastically, improving overall quality of life.
