Nasal septum perforation treatment in prayagraj - www.entclinicallahabad.com

Nasal septal perforations are a very frequent nasal disorder. These defects in the cartilaginous areas of the septum, with direct communication between the two nasal cavities, leads to impairment of air flow and pressure which are often accompanied by a wide variety of symptoms. Patients usually go to see a specialist when they develop symptoms, which may be very troublesome (crusting, nose bleeding, cacosmia) and may, in some cases, even impair nasal respiration. Albeit, septal perforations may also be detected during routine medical examinations. Anterior and wide septal perforations are more symptomatic, while posterior perforations tend to be less symptomatic, due to humidification from the turbinates. 

Cause

Infective causes include syphilis, leprosy, and rhinoscleroma. Non-infective causes include cocaine abuse, or an in situ foreign body.

Symptoms

Symptoms may include crusting around the ulcer or perforation and repeated nosebleeds. People who have small perforations in the septum may make a whistling sound when they breathe.
