What is empty nose syndrome?

Empty nose syndrome is a condition that occurs as a result of surgical interventions performed on people with nasal turbinate hyperplasia. Contrary to popular belief, nasal turbinates are structures that exist in everyone's nose and serve to humidify the air taken in through the nose. Humidifying the air is very important for healthy breathing. In some people, nasal turbinate hyperplasia makes breathing difficult. In this case, nasal turbinates are surgically removed. However, empty nose syndrome occurs as a result of removing structures that do not cause problems in the nasal turbinates. Empty nose syndrome is a condition that needs to be treated due to the problems it causes in breathing. Otherwise; discomforts such as pain during breathing, tingling in the nose, crusting, feeling of pressure and nosebleeds occur.
