Rhinology

Rhinology is a subspecialty of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the nose and sinuses. It involves a wide range of conditions affecting the nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, and the structures involved in breathing and olfaction (sense of smell).

Chronic Sinusitis
This condition involves long-term inflammation of the sinuses, causing symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pain, and reduced sense of smell. It may result from infections, allergies, or nasal polyps. Treatment can include medications, nasal sprays, or surgical interventions like functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Nasal Polyps
Non-cancerous growths in the nasal lining or sinuses, often associated with chronic inflammation, asthma, or allergies. They can block airflow and cause difficulty breathing. Treatment may involve medications like corticosteroids, and in some cases, surgical removal.

Deviated Septum
A condition where the nasal septum (the wall between the nostrils) is crooked, leading to breathing difficulties and increased risk of sinus infections. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct a deviated septum and improve airflow.

Allergic Rhinitis
Commonly known as hay fever, it is an allergic reaction causing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. It is often triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander. Treatments include antihistamines, nasal sprays, and in some cases, immunotherapy (allergy shots).

Nasal Obstruction and Congestion
This refers to the blockage of the nasal passages, which can be caused by conditions like allergies, sinus infections, or structural issues such as a deviated septum. Treatment options include medications (e.g., decongestants), nasal irrigation, or surgery.
