Chronic Sinusitis
Sinuses are air-filled pockets behind the facial bones surrounding the nose. Each sinus has an opening through which mucus drains. This drainage keeps your sinuses working well. Anything that obstructs that flow may cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses, which may lead to infection and inflammation. Sinusitis occurs when the linings of your nose, sinuses and throat become inflamed, possibly from a pre-existing cold or other allergies.
Chronic sinusitis is when this inflammation lasts three months or more.
Common Symptoms include:
- Facial pain, pressure and congestion
- Difficulty in breathing through the nose
- Discharge of yellow or green mucus from the nose
- Pain in teeth
- Loss of the sense of smell or taste
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Bad breath
Why choose Balloon Sinuplasty?
Typical treatment for sinusitis begins with medication prescribed by your doctor. However, a majority of chronic sinusitis sufferers don’t get relief with medication. For these patients, a surgical procedure may be recommended.
Ballon Sinusplasty is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that opens sinus passages. Doctors thread a soft-tipped guide wire equipped with a tiny balloon into the nostrils and up to the area of blockage. They then inflate the balloon just enough to open the passageway. Finally, they spray fluid into the infected sinus to flush out the pus and mucus.
Safe
It relieves the pain and pressure associated with chronic sinusitis, without cutting and removing the natural structures in the nose.
Proven
Tens of thousands of patients have experienced long term improvement in their quality of life after a Balloon Sinusplasty procedure.
Fast
While recovery time varies with each patient, many people quickly return ot normal activities
How Does Balloon Sinuplasty Work?
In Balloon Sinuplasty, inflamed sinuses are opened the same way doctors open up blocked arteries in balloon angioplasty.
After Balloon Sinuplasty, the sinuses remain open, allowing normal sinus drainage and relieving sinus pressure.
