About Deviated Nasal Septum in Kolkata
A deviated nasal septum occurs when the thin wall of cartilage and bone that separates the two nasal passages is displaced to one side, making one nasal passage smaller than the other. Many people have some degree of septal deviation without significant symptoms, but a pronounced deviation can obstruct airflow, disrupt normal mucus drainage, and contribute to recurrent sinus infections. It can be present from birth due to the pressures of childbirth, or acquired later through nasal trauma such as a broken nose. The condition is diagnosed through physical examination and nasal endoscopy, and treatment is generally reserved for cases causing significant breathing difficulty.
