disorder in which the nasal septum (the bone and cartilage that divide the nasal cavity of the nose) is substantially off center, or crooked, making breathing difficult.\u003cbr\u003eMost people have some form of difference in the size of their right and left nasal passages.\u003cbr\u003eOnly the more severe differences cause considerable breathing disorders and need treatment.\u003cbr\u003eThe deviated nose septum can be observed when the delicate wall (nasal wall) of nose between the nostrils is displaced to any side\u003cbr\u003eIt can be seen that the wall of nose dislocated or different causes the nasal entrance smaller.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a deviated nose septum is severe, it is able to obstruct any side of one's nose and reduce the airflow which results in breathing difficulty.\u003cbr\u003eThe effect of dryness in air flowing through nose is another indication of deviated nose septum which induces the encrustation and loss of blood in some people.\u003cbr\u003eNasal blockage can occur from these abnormal deviations from swelling of the tissues covering the nose or from either of the two.\u003cbr\u003eCauses:\u003cbr\u003eCongenital: occurs at birth\u003cbr\u003eInjury: collision, contact body sports\u003cbr\u003eChildren are more vulnerable to such deviations as the bones are still soft.\u003cbr\u003eAs the body becomes older, the structure of the nose is likely to get affected even more and produces a worst situation\u003cbr\u003eIt causes acute nasal blockage as the nasal passage becomes narrow due to the dislocation.\u003cbr\u003eSymptoms:\u003cbr\u003eIn most cases of deviated nose septum there is almost no indication of any form.\u003cbr\u003eThe most frequent symptom of a deviated nose septum is nasal congestion, with one side of the nose being more congested than the other, along with difficulty breathing.\u003cbr\u003eFrequent Nosebleeds\u003cbr\u003eFacial pain\u003cbr\u003eHeadache\u003cbr\u003ePostnasal drip\u003cbr\u003eLoud breathing and snoring during sleep\u003cbr\u003eObstructive sleep apnea\u003cbr\u003eSome people have the habit of sleeping on one particular side.\u003cbr\u003eThey feel free flow of air during sleeping on that side.\u003cbr\u003eDiagnosis:\u003cbr\u003eThe doctor normally sprays a decongestant spray in to the nose before and after the examination\u003cbr\u003eEndoscopic examination of the nose is done\u003cbr\u003eAny deviation of the septum is seen easily\u003cbr\u003eInitial Treatment\u003cbr\u003eThe treatment for deviated nose septum may start with treating the obvious symptoms of the disorder such as swollen lining in the nose resulting in the drainage obstruction in the nose.\u003cbr\u003eThe doctor may use these medicines for deviated nose septum at the start:\u003cbr\u003eA decongestant may be given to reduce the swollen nose tissue.\u003cbr\u003eIt assists to open the passage of the nose properly and let air enter through both holes\u003cbr\u003eDecongestant is available in both spray and tablet form.\u003cbr\u003eAny incorrect dosages can lead to the dependency on the decongestant and involve the heart rate or the blood pressure.\u003cbr\u003eDuring initial treatment, doctors normally also give antihistamines to counter the nasal allergies.\u003cbr\u003eSome antihistamines have more effect on the body and make it drowsy so activities like driving should be avoided under such situations.\u003cbr\u003eOn many occasions doctors use nasal steroid sprays to reduce the inflammation in the nasal passage.\u003cbr\u003eIt should be well noted that medicines can only fix this problem temporarily and not permanently.\u003cbr\u003eIf medicines alone do not provide adequate relief, a surgical procedure called septoplasty may be needed to correct a crooked septum and improve breathing.\u003cbr\u003eSeptoplasty is the frequent surgery for the correction of deviated nose septum when there is no successful effect is noticed with the medicines\u003cbr\u003eIt is the most frequent way to correct any displacement in the nasal wall of small or big type\u003cbr\u003eReshaping the Nose or Rhinoplasty is often done along with septoplasty to reshape the nose for deviated nose septum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENT\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Deviated
