Causes, symptoms and treatment options
The nasal valve, as a key regulator of airflow through the nasal cavity, plays a key role in proper breathing.
Despite this, nasal valve weakness often remains insufficiently recognized as a potential cause of nasal obstruction.
This weakness can arise from a variety of causes, including the patient’s anatomy, previous nose surgery, trauma, or natural aging processes.
Making a diagnosis of nasal valve collapse requires a careful examination of the nose. Observing the collapse of the nasal structures during breathing and assessing the strength of the lateral walls in the lower part of the nose help the specialist to identify the problem.
When nasal valve weakness is the cause of shortness of breath, the only effective treatment option is surgery on the nasal valve.
A team of surgeons at the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic, after many years of work and research in this area, has developed specific surgical techniques that successfully solve the problem of nasal breathing. These innovative techniques provide patients with the ability to improve the function of the nasal valve and thus facilitate breathing.
Ultimately, understanding and recognizing nasal valve weakness as the cause of nasal problems are key steps towards proper treatment and improving patients’ quality of life.
