Septal Perforation

A septal perforation occurs when a hole develops in the nasal septum – the thin wall that separates the nostrils. This condition can result from trauma, previous nasal surgery, chronic nasal infections, or excessive nasal spray use. Symptoms of a septal perforation may include nasal congestion, crusting, nosebleeds, a whistling sound when breathing, or discomfort in the nose. In severe cases, it can lead to structural changes in the nose or difficulty maintaining proper nasal function.

We specialise in diagnosing and treating septal perforations at The ENT Consultancy. Our team conducts thorough evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools such as nasal endoscopy to assess the size and location of a perforation. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and may include nasal sprays or ointments to keep the area moist and reduce symptoms. For larger perforations, surgical repair may be recommended to close the hole and restore normal nasal function.
