Hypertrophic rhinitis (should be chronic hypertrophic rhinitis) usually does not lead to life-threatening diseases and is not a serious disease. However, when the condition is serious, it may be followed by dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, or lead to headache, dizziness, insomnia and mental depression, which seriously affects the patient’s life. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is usually due to inflammatory stimulation, resulting in limited or diffuse hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the mucosa, submucosa, and even bone. Hypertrophy mostly occurs in the inferior turbinate and middle turbinate. When the hypertrophy is the inferior turbinate, it can cause the posterior end of the inferior turbinate to compress the eustachian tube, resulting in tinnitus and hearing loss; the anterior end can block the opening of the nasolacrimal duct, resulting in overflow of tears, followed by dacryocystitis and conjunctivitis. When the middle turbinate is hypertrophied, the hypertrophied middle turbinate can compress the nasal septum, causing trigeminal neuralgia, headache, dizziness, insomnia and mental depression. Patients with nasal congestion appear open-mouth breathing, or nasal secretion irritation caused by chronic pharyngolaryngitis. Some patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis induced obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which can cause cardiac arrhythmia and life-threatening risks, so such diseases need to actively seek medical treatment, standardized diagnosis and treatment. Although chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is not life-threatening in most cases, it can affect the quality of life of patients. If you are suffering from chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment, so as not to cause the disease to linger and the quality of life to deteriorate.
