#CausesOfNasalConditions
Hypertrophic rhinitis
Due to hypertrophic rhinitis, enlarged nasal mucosa
Nasal obstruction is the main symptom of rhinitis, which also involves one or more symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, or itching. It is an inflammatory condition of the nasal lining.
Deviated nasal septum
The septal cartilage supporting the center of the nose is bent or twisted, causing symptoms such as nasal obstruction, sinusitis, and sleep disturbance.
Nasal valve narrowing
The space regulating airflow inside the nose becomes narrow, causing nasal obstruction.
Cartilage is placed in the narrowed area to widen the nasal valve and improve breathing.
