Most people snore from time to time, but ongoing issues with snoring may be a sign of something bigger. Furthermore, snoring may prevent you and those around you from getting a good night’s rest. Read on to learn the most common causes of snoring.
Nasal obstructions and sinus problems lead to a host of breathing and other problems that impact your day-to-day life. The good news is that the underlying causes can be addressed and the symptoms can be permanently eliminated. The persistent and painful headaches, fatigue, post-nasal drainage, congestion will no longer be a source of constant frustration.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, one of the most common causes of breathing impairment is a deviated septum.
And sometimes, a deviated septum could result in sinus infection. Along with infection, a deviated septum may cause nasal congestion (sometimes one sided), frequent sinus infections, facial pain, headaches, postnasal drip, noisy breathing during sleep in both infants and young children, and frequent nosebleeds.
Don’t panic; this can be treated with surgery—the conventional operation is called submucous resection of the septum. Although, deviated septum surgery can correct breathing problems, sinus infection and nosebleeds, it also has few complications.
Dr. Yeung will list out a few more after the surgery.

Complications can be avoided, if you follow the preoperative care. Without adequate preoperative and intraoperative assessment of the deviated nose, an incomplete correction of the nasal deformity and function is inevitable. Inadequate straightening in turn contributes to the recurrent or continued nasal deformity.
To avoid these complications, it is advised to ask questions and know how the treatment will give successful results.
