๐ฌ๏ธ What Is Empty Nose Syndrome? Understanding the Rare but Real Condition | Best ENT Clinic in Dubai ๐
Have you had nasal surgery, like turbinate reduction, but now feel like breathing is harderโeven though your nose looks open and clear? Youโre not alone. This could be Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS), a rare but real condition that affects nasal airflow and comfort.
At ENT Clinic of Excellence in Dubai, we specialize in diagnosing and treating ENS to help you breathe naturally again. Hereโs what you need to know.๐
๐ค What Is Empty Nose Syndrome?
Empty Nose Syndrome occurs when too much turbinate tissue is removed during nasal surgery. Turbinates normally humidify and regulate airflow inside your nose. Without enough tissue, your nose may feel overly open, dry, and uncomfortableโyet paradoxically, you might feel constantly โblockedโ or unable to breathe well.
๐ Common Symptoms of ENS
ENS can impact both physical comfort and emotional well-being, including:
- A sensation of suffocation or difficulty breathing ๐ฎโ๐จ
- Feeling like your nose is blocked despite clear airways ๐
- Persistent dryness, crusting, or irritation inside the nose ๐ต
- Nasal discomfort or pain
- Anxiety, depression, or distress related to breathing difficulties ๐
Because ENS symptoms are often misunderstood, itโs important to get care from an experienced ENT specialist.
๐งช How Is ENS Diagnosed?
Our approach includes:
- Reviewing your medical and surgical history (especially past turbinate surgery)
- Detailed nasal examination using endoscopy
- The โcotton testโ โ temporarily improving symptoms by placing cotton inside the nose
- Thorough symptom discussion to understand your experience
We use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately confirm ENS and rule out other causes.
๐ก Treatment Options for ENS
While ENS can be challenging, effective treatments can improve your quality of life:
โ
Nasal lubricants and saline sprays to ease dryness
โ
Humidification therapy to restore moisture
โ
Nasal implants or grafts to rebuild nasal structure
โ
Psychological support when needed
โ
Specialized surgical correction in selected cases
Each treatment plan is personalized to your unique needs.
