Nasal airway obstruction occurs when airflow through the nose is partially or completely blocked, making it difficult to breathe properly through the nose. This condition can affect one or both nasal passages and may be caused by structural issues, inflammation, or tissue collapse. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, snoring, mouth breathing, and disrupted sleep. Left untreated, nasal obstruction can impact daily comfort and quality of life, but effective, minimally invasive treatment options are available.
What Causes Nasal Airway Obstruction?
Nasal airway obstruction can be caused by a variety of structural or inflammatory factors that restrict airflow through the nasal passages. Common causes include a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal valve collapse, or chronic inflammation from allergies or sinus infections. These conditions may lead to symptoms like congestion, difficulty breathing, and poor sleep quality. Identifying the underlying cause is key to choosing the most effective treatment and improving long-term breathing and comfort.
