Causes of Turbinate Hypertrophy
Nasal turbinate hypertrophy is a relatively common clinical presentation and can be caused by many factors. The more common causes include physiological hypertrophy, chronic rhinitis, acute rhinitis, as well as sinusitis or long-term exposure to irritants. When these symptoms occur, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngologist to determine the specific cause. If it is simply physiological hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates, regular follow-up is generally sufficient, and no special treatment is needed. However, if the hypertrophy is due to an inflammatory response causing clinical symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, medical treatment should be considered. Most patients see good results after standardized medical treatment.
