About inferior turbinate removal

The turbinate is a normal tissue in the human body that serves to warm and humidify the airflow, and it needs to be surgically removed if it is overgrown and hypertrophied for some reason, affecting ventilation.

The removal of enlarged turbinates is a very common nasal surgery. I used to have enlarged turbinates after a long period of delayed rhinitis, and then I had a turbinate removal surgery, after which my breathing was much smoother. The headache caused by nasal congestion is also gone, the effect is good~~

The turbinate can not be completely removed, because it is useful, but only surgically reduced, so there is a number of postoperative time to re-growth of the problem, but will not happen in the short term.

But even if it recurs, the discomfort of the nose is less than when it was not removed before

I hope my answer is helpful to you, good luck~~
