Turbinate Hypertrophy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Turbinate hypertrophy is the enlargement of the nasal turbinates, structures located inside the nose that help warm, filter, and humidify the air we breathe. When they become inflamed or enlarge, they obstruct the normal passage of air.
Common symptoms: persistent nasal congestion, a feeling of a stuffy nose that shifts from one side to the other, difficulty breathing through the nose, and, at times, snoring, dryness, or unrefreshing sleep.
Common causes: allergies, environmental irritants, repeated infections, or certain anatomical abnormalities of the nose can promote this enlargement.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who examines the nasal passages and determines the origin of the obstruction. If nasal congestion is with you most of the time or interferes with your rest and your day-to-day life, it is worth scheduling an evaluation with this specialist.
