Say goodbye to Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus lining. Sinusitis occurs when the tissue lining of the sinuses becomes swollen or inflamed. It occurs as a result of an inflammatory reaction to a virus, bacteria, or fungus. There are two types of sinusitis: Acute and Chronic. Sinusitis is regarded as acute if it lasts from three to eight weeks, and sinusitis lasting longer than eight weeks is considered chronic. Chronic Sinusitis can occur with or without polyps. Polyps are very small outgrowths that lack sensation. Small polyps are barely felt, but multiple or large polyps often block the nasal cavity, creating difficulty in breathing.
Symptoms of Sinusitis
- Drainage of a thick, yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the back of the throat
- Pain, tenderness and swelling around your eyes, cheeks, nose or forehead
- Ear pain
- Cough which may worsen at night
- Bad breath
- Nasal obstruction or congestion, causing difficulty in breathing through nase
- Reduced sense of smell and taste
- Aching in the upper jaw and toothache
- Sore throat
- Fatigue or irritability
- Nausea
Treating Sinusitis
Acute sinusitis
Acute sinusitis can be treated with both oral and intranasal medicines
Chronic sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis may require surgery if drug therapy fails. Anatomical defects, such as a deviated nasal septum and narrow sinus opening, which prevent sinusitis from resolving, are the most common conditions that require surgery. The surgery can fix defects in the bone separating the nasal passages, remove nasal polyps, shrink the turbinates, and open closed passages. Sinus surgery is performed under either local or general anesthesia, and patients often return home on the same day.
Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Endoscopic surgery treats advanced chronic sinusitis without the aftereffects of traditional sinus surgery. In addition, nasal packs are not used, allowing most patients to return to work in a few days. Endoscopic sinus surgery is characterized by the preservation of healthy nasal mucosa as much as possible.
Balloon Sinuplasty
This is a highly sophisticated technique in which balloons are used to enlarge the sinus drainage pathways without cutting any tissue. Compared to traditional surgery, most patients can return to work the next day without any evidence of the procedure.
Compared to traditional sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty offers a dramatically faster and more comfortable recovery. Because the procedure does not involve cutting, removing tissue, or placing stitches, most patients can return to work or normal activities as early as the next day, often with no visible signs that any procedure was performed. This makes it an ideal option for individuals seeking effective treatment without significant downtime.
