Sinus
Surgery for Sinus Infections: When and If It’s Necessary
When
sinus infections are caused by anatomical blockages or obstacles
to the free flow of mucus, sinus surgery can definitely
help. This may include:
- Crushed cartilage and bone fragments from broken noses
- Deviated septum
- Nasal Polyps
- Cleft palate
- Enlarged adenoids
“Fungal
balls” and “invasive” or “allergic
fungal sinusitis” are considered good reasons for sinus
surgery because the masses are so large they cannot come out
by themselves, and can have serious health consequences.
But
for most sinus infections, surgery is not necessary. An
increasing number of traditional medical doctors are documenting
that the problem with chronic sinus infections is in the
mucus, not in the sinus tissue.
These
sinus infections can be relieved through other types of
treatment:
Antibiotics
when warranted
Homeopathic,
Herbal and Natural Remedies
Vitamins,
Supplements, Diet and
Lifestyle
Getting
well-educated in how to stop sinus infections and avoid
sinus surgery is a key to helping ourselves toward sinus
health and wellness.

When considering sinus surgery, it is useful to get an expert
opinion from a physician who practices “complementary
medicine” – combining traditional with alternatives.
