Nasal Diseases and CONDITONS

 Chronic sinusitis is a long-term inflammation of the sinuses lasting 12 weeks or more, often caused by blocked sinus drainage due to factors like allergies, infections, or nasal polyps, leading to symptoms like facial pain and nasal congestion.  

 Nasal polyps are noncancerous, soft growths on the lining of the nose or sinuses that can cause breathing difficulties, congestion, and loss of smell. They typically form in clusters and can block nasal passages, leading to symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, postnasal drip, and snoring 

 A deviated nasal septum occurs when the cartilage and bone dividing the two nasal passages (the septum) are off-center, potentially causing breathing problems and other issues.  

 Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction causing inflammation of the nasal lining, leading to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. It's often triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, mold, and animal dander, and can be seasonal (hay fever) or year-round.  

 A nose tumor is an abnormal growth that begins inside your nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. These tumors may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). 

 Nose is actually rather vulnerable to injuries. A trauma on the face can cause injury to the nose and result in nosebleed (medically called epistaxis). Depending on the site and the extent of an injury, this bleeding can be minor or major.
