Nose & Sinus Treatment in Raja Bazar, Patna — Endoscopic ENT Care

The nasal septum is the wall of cartilage and bone that divides the two nostrils. When it is significantly off-centre — either from birth or after an injury — it is called a Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS). A moderate-to-severe DNS causes difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, recurrent sinusitis, snoring, and sleep disturbance. At D.N.A. ENT Clinic, Raja Bazar, Patna, Dr. Abhinandan evaluates DNS using nasal endoscopy and clinical examination. Mild cases are managed with nasal sprays. Significant deviation causing breathing difficulty is corrected through septoplasty — a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed entirely through the nostrils with no external cuts or scarring.

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths that develop in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses. They form as a result of chronic inflammation — often from sinusitis, allergies, or asthma. Small polyps may cause no symptoms, but larger ones can completely block nasal airflow, eliminate sense of smell, and cause snoring and sleep disturbance. In Patna, nasal polyps are among the most common causes of persistent nasal blockage seen at our Raja Bazar ENT clinic. Dr. Abhinandan treats polyps with topical steroid sprays for mild cases, and endoscopic polypectomy (surgical removal through the nose without any cuts) for larger polyps — providing immediate and lasting relief.

Nasal blockage — a feeling of stuffiness or inability to breathe freely through the nose — is one of the most frequently reported complaints at our Raja Bazar ENT clinic. While temporary nasal congestion during a cold is normal, persistent or chronic nasal blockage significantly affects quality of life, sleep, concentration, and exercise capacity. Common causes include inferior turbinate hypertrophy (swollen nasal tissue), DNS, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, or adenoid enlargement in children. Dr. Abhinandan performs nasal endoscopy to identify the precise cause and recommends treatment accordingly — from medical management to minimally invasive surgical procedures such as turbinoplasty or coblation.

Nosebleeds (epistaxis) are common and usually not serious — the majority arise from Little's area, a cluster of small blood vessels at the front of the nasal septum. Common triggers include dry air, nose picking, trauma, DNS-related dryness, high blood pressure, and overuse of nasal decongestant sprays. However, recurrent, heavy, or posterior nosebleeds (bleeding from the back of the nose) require urgent ENT evaluation, as they may indicate a bleeding disorder, hypertension, or rarely, a nasal tumour. At D.N.A. ENT Clinic, Raja Bazar, Patna, Dr. Abhinandan evaluates and treats nosebleeds through nasal packing, chemical or electrical cauterisation, or endoscopic vessel ligation for severe cases.

Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction of the nasal lining triggered by airborne allergens such as dust mites, pollen, mould, pet dander, or smoke. It is extremely common in Patna due to high levels of dust, vehicular pollution, and seasonal pollen. Patients often visit our Raja Bazar clinic complaining of recurrent colds that never fully resolve, persistent watery nasal discharge, continuous sneezing especially in the morning, and itchy eyes and nose. Dr. Abhinandan evaluates the allergy profile and prescribes an appropriate treatment plan including antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays, and allergen avoidance strategies — providing significant and lasting symptom relief without dependence on over-the-counter nasal drops.
