Chronic sinusitis is a very common illness that affects millions of people all over the world. Sinuses get inflamed and swell up, which can cause a wide range of symptoms, such as stuffy nose, facial pain, headache, and trouble breathing. In the past, chronic sinusitis was treated with drugs like antibiotics and steroids, and in more severe cases, surgery was done. But in recent years, Balloon Sinuplasty, a new treatment that doesn’t require a lot of surgery, has become available.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a procedure that is only slightly invasive and can be done in a doctor’s office or an outpatient surgical center. During the procedure, a catheter is used to put a small balloon into the inflamed sinus space. The balloon is then blown up, which gently widens the opening of the sinus cavity. This makes it easier for the sinuses to drain and breathe. Once the balloon is deflated and taken out, the sinus cavity stays open, which makes it easier for air to flow through and reduces swelling.
One of the best things about Balloon Sinuplasty is that it is a minimally invasive procedure. This means that there is less cutting and tissue removal than with traditional sinus surgery. This means there will be less pain, bleeding, and scarring, and the person will heal faster. In fact, most people can go back to their regular lives within 24 to 48 hours of the procedure.
Another good thing about balloon sinuplasty is that it works very well. Studies have shown that the procedure can help up to 90% of people with chronic sinusitis feel better for a long time. Also, the procedure can be done as many times as needed, which makes it a versatile and flexible way to treat the problem.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a safe and effective option for people who haven’t gotten better with medicine or who want an alternative to traditional sinus surgery that is less invasive. If you have chronic sinusitis, talk to your doctor about whether or not Balloon Sinuplasty could help.
