Common Causes of Nasal Blockage in Dubai
Nasal blockage can result from multiple structural, inflammatory, or allergic causes. Accurate diagnosis by an experienced ENT specialist in Dubai is essential.
Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)
The nasal septum separates the two nasal passages. When deviated, it can block airflow, causing persistent nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing through one side, snoring, and sinus infections. Septoplasty surgery may be required to correct the deviation.
Turbinate Hypertrophy
Turbinates are structures inside the nose that regulate airflow. Enlargement — caused by allergies, chronic inflammation, or environmental irritants — can block breathing. Treated with medical therapy or turbinate reduction surgery.
Chronic Sinusitis
Chronic inflammation of the sinuses can cause nasal blockage, facial pressure, nasal congestion, thick nasal discharge, sinus headache, and smell loss. Treated with medical therapy or endoscopic sinus surgery if needed.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft growths inside the nasal passages causing nasal obstruction, smell loss, and chronic sinusitis. Treated with medication or endoscopic polyp removal surgery.
Allergic Rhinitis
Very common in Dubai due to dust and environmental allergens. Symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose.

Nasal Endoscopy
Nasal endoscopy is a safe and painless procedure performed in clinic. It helps diagnose:
