Will a deviated nasal septum cause my nose to become crooked?

In daily life, deviated nasal septum is a relatively common nasal disease. Many people have varying degrees of deviated nasal septum, but some people have obvious symptoms while others have less obvious symptoms. Once a deviated nasal septum is diagnosed, surgery is generally necessary to correct the nose. A deviated nasal septum must be treated as early as possible. Will the nose become crooked if you have a deviated nasal septum?

What are the causes of nasal septum deviation?

1. Trauma: When a nasal bone fracture occurs due to trauma, it is often complicated by dislocation and deformation of the septal cartilage, or even cartilage fracture. If it is not repositioned in time, septum deviation may remain. The nasal septum cartilage may also be deviated or dislocated due to a narrow birth canal or improper forceps clamping during birth. Trauma is the most common cause of nasal septum deviation.

2. The bones and cartilages of the nasal septum develop unevenly and become deformed, and deformities are prone to occur at the joints of the various parts. This is also the main cause of the disease.

3. Enlarged adenoids in children affect nasal ventilation, and they have to compensate by breathing through their mouths. Over time, this can lead to deformities in the maxillofacial bones and a high arched hard palate, which in turn lifts the floor of the nasal cavity and gradually causes the nasal septum to become deviated.

4. This disease may also occur when tumors or foreign objects compress the nasal septum.

There are many causes of deviated nasal septum, most of which are caused by trauma and congenital factors, but other causes cannot be ruled out, so you must actively seek treatment. If you find nosebleeds or nasal congestion, you must actively seek treatment to avoid repeated attacks that may lead to more serious complications.

2. Septal hematoma: caused by bleeding in the nasal septum between the systemic perichondrium.

3. Septal abscess: Systemic septal hematoma causes bacterial infection during the nasal infection period or when there are more purulent secretions.

4. Collapse of nose bridge: This is caused by removing too much of the septum cartilage from the nose during surgery. Postoperative complications of nasal septum abscess if the timing is incorrect. Leading to cartilage softening and necrosis. Such exceptions can also occur.

5. Intracranial complications: Nasal septum abscess or plate damage will increase the chance of intracranial infection. Although rare, if intracranial complications occur, they will cause a lot of harm.
