Deviated Septum treatment in Puerto Vallarta

Deviated Septum in Mexico

A deviated septum, or deviation of the nasal septum, is a condition in which the septum that separates the two nostrils is displaced to one side, hindering airflow through one or both nostrils. It can be congenital or the result of nasal trauma. Symptoms include nasal obstruction, snoring, nasal dryness, recurrent nosebleeds, and a predisposition to sinusitis. In mild cases it may not require treatment, but when it affects breathing, surgical correction is considered.
