Is Your Sinus Plumbing Backed-Up?

Treatment is Key! Finding the right ENT specialist is not always an easy task. You want to find a specialist that has experience in treating sinus and nasal problems.

Here are some reasons your sinus plumbing is backed-up

• Deviated Septum
  The nasal septum is the wall dividing the nasal cavity into two halves. A deviated septum occurs when the septum is shifted away from the midline.
• Nasal Polyps
  Nasal polyps are shaped like teardrops and form as outgrowths on the mucous membranes of the nose and often occurs at the site of edematous tissue.
• Turbinates
  The turbinates are three bony projections in the nasal passage. The turbinates increase the surface area in the nasal cavity, filter and warm the air that passes through it.
• Tumors
  Tumors defined in simple terms are a swelling. When a tumor grows in the ostium (a small opening in the sinuses where drainage occurs), the sinuses become obstructed.
• Obstructions
  Inside the sinuses that reduce their ability to drain mucous which causes infection.
