Nasal Septal Perforation

Nasal septal perforation is a hole that develops in the tissue dividing the two sides of the nose, known as the nasal septum. This condition can cause symptoms like difficulty breathing, nosebleeds, whistling sounds when breathing, and dryness. Causes include prolonged nasal drug use, trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation. Treatment options vary depending on severity and may include nasal ointments, cauterization, or surgery to repair the septum. While it can be uncomfortable, many people can manage the symptoms effectively with care and appropriate medical intervention.
