Hormonal Rhinitis

Hormonal rhinitis is a type of nasal inflammation caused by changes in hormone levels in the body. This condition can occur during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause, when hormones fluctuate significantly. Symptoms include a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. Unlike allergic rhinitis, it is not triggered by allergens but rather by hormonal changes. Managing symptoms typically involves avoiding irritants and using saline nasal sprays; in some cases, doctors may recommend medications. If symptoms are persistent or severe, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate advice and treatment.
