Will massage help a deviated nasal septum?
Nasal septum deviation massage has no effect, and post-massage can stimulate local mucosal congestion and edema, leading to nasal congestion and nosebleeds in patients. Nasal septum deviation is a bony deviation caused by abnormal development of the nasal septum during embryonic stages, or by postnatal trauma to the nasal septum or compression from nasal tumors causing the septum to deviate to one or both sides. After a nasal septum deviation, it can cause persistent and progressive nasal congestion on both sides, accompanied by a foreign body sensation in the nasal cavity and headaches. Nasal septum deviation can also induce sinusitis and nasal polyps in patients. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, where an endoscopic nasal examination and sinus CT scan can provide a diagnosis. In terms of treatment, nasal septum deviation requires local surgical correction for a complete cure.
