I have two small septal perforations in the back of my nose due to a septorhinoplasty 7 months ago. I still have internal swelling of the turbinates and have been instructed to use a fluticasone furoate spray to reduce this swelling twice a day. Just looking for some opinions if it is safe to do so? Thanks.
I understand that all three layers of the perforation need to be repaired. However, the perforation is a result of chronic use of cocaine that causes damage to the septum over time. If one gets surgery to repair the hole, but does not use cocaine in large amounts after, why would an occasional (once every 6 months, after everything has healed of course) guarantee another perforation? Especially if after surgery any cocaine use is followed by saline spray to rinse the irritants out of the nose.
I have a septal perforation most likely from use of nasal steroids. The hole is in the anterior of the nose and small: 3mm. It causes constant whistling. In August 2014 I had surgery to repair the hole but in October the perforation reappeared. An ENT told me that a nasal button would not help me because my perforation is too small for a button to fit in it, plus a button in the anterior would obstruct breathing. True? Can I stop the whistling?
I developed a perforated septum after a severe bacterial sinus infection. After that, my nose sunk in and my face now has a flat effect. I have never done cocaine or any other drugs. I have been on prednisone for many years for rheumatoid arthritis. Are there any other causes for perforation and any causes for my nose to sink in? I'm assuming it's all related to the septorhinoplasty done in 1974 when I was 24 for broken nose and deviated septum. Will send photos if needed.
Just over 2 years ago I had surgery to close a septal perforation (approx 1cm x 1cm) which I suffered as a result of over-using nasal decongestants and digital trauma. The surgery was a success...until this week. Just last week I had my second bout of surgery in a month on a perenial abscess. This week I noticed a whistling noise coming from my nose. My ENT consultant said there is a perforation but that it's tiny and may close on its own. He said it may have been caused by thermometer probes.
I had Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty 9 months ago and since 3 month ago I started getting this yellow crust inside my nose. I already went to see my surgeon 2 times but he keeps saying everything is ok but then why I get this crust everyday? my nose feels really dry and tight inside and sometimes I have discomfort after blowing my nose. I know some crusting is normal but is it normal every single day. I am just worry this crust could cause a septum perforation.
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty about 5 months ago and notice constant whistling since cast removal. Whenever I look this up I see that the main cause is septal perforation but I am wondering if it is possible that the cause of whistling is that the doctor over narrower my nose/valves? I didn't really have work done on my septum so I don't think it's perforated. I also notice mucus gets accumulates/gets stuck much more easily now. Could aggressive narrowing cause this? What else could cause?
