Every healthy person has a total of six nasal conchas, three on one side and three on the other side. These nasal glands, which we also call turbinates, should not be confused with adenoids and nasal polyps. Both adenoids and polyps are tissues that form later and are of no use to the body. However, nasal glands are indispensable tissues for the respiratory tract. They humidify, warm and clean the air we breathe. They act as a kind of filter and work like an air conditioner.
How do they do this job?
There is a membrane layer (mucosa) surrounding the flesh of the nose. This membrane is the main functioning part of the nasal flesh. The cells on the membrane have mastered the task of heating, cleaning and humidifying the air we breathe.
The nasal concha sometimes grows and sometimes shrinks temporarily during the day. They are not stable and the same size. Think of these enlargements and shrinkages as the diameter of the strainer increasing and decreasing.
If the environment we are in is cold, the nasal flesh grows temporarily. This is the reason why our nose gets blocked in cold weather. In hot and clean weather, the nasal concha temporarily shrinks; In this way, we feel our nose more open and we breathe more easily.
The nasal glands, which are so necessary for breathing, can sometimes become permanently overgrown and constantly prevent us from breathing. Of course, this doesn't happen out of nowhere; Some reasons such as allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, living in places with bad weather conditions, and using nasal clearing drops for a long time may cause this condition.

Enlargement of the nasal flesh can cause nasal congestion, inability to breathe, headache. It can cause many complaints such as pain, snoring, waking up intensely in the morning.
Eliminating the problem of nasal enlargement greatly relieves our patients and eliminates existing complaints.
The first way to solve this problem. is drug treatment. If there is no regression with drug treatment, then the nose Ti reduction methods take the form of different treatments.
Treatment methods regarding this issue have also changed a lot recently. Reducing the nasal flesh with radiofrequency is one of them. The majority of nasal enlargements can be reduced with radiofrequency. The radiofrequency method, which is a simple procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia, is a short procedure and patients can continue their work even on the same day after the procedure.
