Violation of breathing through the nose as a result of swelling in the nasal concha tissues is called vasomotor rhinitis. Its development is facilitated by the curvature of the nasal septum, the appearance of spikes and ridges in it. Gastrointestinal disorders, long-term hypothermia can contribute to pathology. With prolonged use, vasoconstriction
Drops also increase the likelihood of vasomotor rhinitis. Vascular neurosis and immunovegetative dystonia are other relevant factors affecting the nasal mucosa that can provoke a violation of the respiratory function. In young children (up to six years old), the pathology is extremely rare due to the underdevelopment of the cavernous tissue in the nasal concha area.
Signs of vasomotor rhinitis
Pathology can have a neurovegetative or allergic form. Regardless of this, the first symptoms that appear are fatigue, headaches, weakness, and sleep disturbances. In addition, memory impairment and loss of appetite may occur. As a result of a violation of breathing through the nose, it happens anddeterioration in lung ventilation. All these processes are accompanied by a characteristic itching in the nose and the constant release of a large amount of watery mucus from it. This causes bouts of sneezing, watery eyes, redness of the face, and excessive sweating. It should be said that such signs of vasomotor rhinitis appear cyclically. Violation of the cycle can be triggered by strong stimuli, such as nervous tension or exposure to cold. In the period between exacerbations, tol
How many symptoms such as sleep disturbance, fatigue, recurrent headaches due to vasospasm in the brain.
Diagnosis of vasomotor rhinitis
To detect the presence of pathology and determine its form, a blood test is performed. So, if a person suffers from allergic vasomotor rhinitis, eosinophils will be found in the blood, as well as in nasal mucus. Often this pathology is combined with asthmatic bronchitis.
Vasomotor rhinitis treatment
In many cases, doctors recommend to eliminate the pathologist
and perform septoplasty, which is an operation during which a deviated nasal septum is corrected. In fact, such intervention is required only in exceptional cases, for example, when there is a pronounced post-traumatic deformity. Violations in nasal breathing occur rather than due to deviation of the septum, but due toprocesses associated with neurovegetative-muscular vascular dissociation, relevant for the nasal mucosa. As a result, the vessels in the mucosa are excessively filled with blood, which leads to nasal congestion and swelling. In turn, irritation of the nerve endings, as a result of which impulses occur that cause vasodilation, is a consequence of infection. Based on these features, the treatment of vasomotor rhinitis should be carried out by sanitation of the mucosa. As additional measures, photodynamic therapy is used, which allows to restore the mucous membrane, and organotherapy, which allows to increase the lymph flow. Due to this, it is subsequently possible to normalize local immunity. In difficult cases, when there is a pronounced hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates, vasomotor rhinitis is treated with a laser, which consists in modeling the nasal mucosa using a special laser device.
