My septum has disappeared over the past 30 years. It began as a small hole, then over time would get larger until it now no longer exists. I now suffer from constant Post Nasal Drip. I don’t know how to treat this or if there is a surgery to correct this problem. The only thing I can think of that could have caused this was the use of Vicks Sinex nasal spray for several years in my early 20’s. I have never used any other substances in my nose, including illegal drugs. Any help would be welcome. p.tassey@aol.com 47.145.51.247 ( talk) 09:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- There could be many causes of a septal perforation. I would recommend seeing an ENT specialist who can provide additional guidance on next steps. Prophylax ( talk) 20:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
The page should differentiate between a turbinectomy (excision / removal) vs. turbinoplasty (reduction). These are two different types of procedures on the turbinates involving removal of a different amount of tissue. Prophylax ( talk) 20:39, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
