nasal disorders

Nasal disorders involve problems affecting the nose's structure and function, impacting breathing, smell, and overall comfort. Common conditions include allergies causing nasal congestion and sneezing, infections like sinusitis leading to pain and pressure, and structural issues such as a deviated septum that block airflow. Other disorders include nasal polyps—growths that can obstruct the nose—and chronic dryness or bleeding. These issues can result from environmental factors, infections, or structural abnormalities, and may cause symptoms like congestion, difficulty breathing, reduced smell, and facial pain. Proper diagnosis and treatment help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
