Juvenile Angiofibroma treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Juvenile angiofibroma is a benign, rare tumor that develops in the back of the nose and the nasopharyngeal area, and occurs mainly in adolescent males. Although it is not cancerous, it can grow and affect neighboring structures.

Usual manifestations: persistent nasal obstruction on one side, recurrent nosebleeds, and, at times, a sensation of pressure in the face.

When to have it checked? When the nose becomes blocked constantly or there are repeated episodes of bleeding without a clear cause, an evaluation is advisable.

The specialist who studies it is the otolaryngologist, in charge of conditions of the nose and throat. If you notice these symptoms, going to a specialized consultation allows the case to be studied in detail and guides the follow-up.
