A deviated septum causes unpleasant symptoms ... and is the only solution to cure
The German Association of Otolaryngologists stated that a deviated septum means that the nasal septum is crooked due to a congenital defect (caused by pressure on the child's nose during childbirth) or as a result of a blow to the nose, especially in the first five years of life.
The association explained that a deviated septum often causes difficulty breathing through the nose.
It may also be the reason for frequent sinus infections and frequent sneezing.
And since sufferers resort to increasing the rates of mouth breathing;
Therefore, it often also results in a throat infection and nosebleeds, as well as headaches, snoring during sleep, and sleep apnea.
In the face of these severe consequences, the curvature of the nasal septum must be repaired with surgical intervention.
This surgery is known as "penduloplasty", and this operation does not affect the external appearance and does not include any external scars, while the complete recovery from the operation takes a period ranging between two and four weeks.
