Septoplasty surgery

2022-08-03 23:54:30
My husband is 30 years old; from childhood, he has had a deviated nose, which has caused no harm or pain till today. Recently. We visited ENT for my ear pain, and when the doctor saw him, he tested his throat and nose; there were no tonsils or problems found. The doctor suggested a CT scan for him for his deviating nose. Now he is suggesting that we go for septoplasty surgery. Please suggest whether we should go for the surgery.? Is it mandatory if a person has deviated nose? And also, he doesn't have any breathing or sinus issues till now. But he has the problem of bad breath and snoring. For this reason, should we go for surgery?

Depends on how gross is the deviation and whether it is hindering the routine activities

If your husband does not have any other nasal symptoms such as blocked nose/ headache/ recurrent cold then it is not necessary to get the surgery. There are other causes of snoring as well apart from Deviated nasal septum. Does he also have apneic spells at night? Or any other symptoms of sleep apnea? What is his BMI? Is he overweight? All these need to be ruled out before you make a decision for Septoplasty. Bad breath could be because of poor oro-dental hygiene or even tonsilloliths(stone like deposits in tonsils)
