It just seems like thats what all doctors diagnose patients with as simple as a "deviated septum" when it really isn't. This was done to me as well...
Do you know that most insurance companies are aware of outcomes of turbinectomies and don't even approve of this procedure..

Hate to call it a conspiracy or be cycnical but it seems like I hear it all too much where a lot of ENS patients are told they have deviated septum by their doctors before any procedure...

It seems like if you have breathing problems and you never had any previous surgery it means you dont have ENS... ENS is a condition caused by surgery... If you feel congested in your nostrils you probably have enlarged turbinates...

Like erika said do everything to avoid surgery... There are several things that cause your turbs to become enlarged, allergies, irritants, endocrine disorders...

Seek an allergist, get a skin test, seek alternative medicine such as acupuncture... Get a blood test to see if your thyroids are ok.. I believe the simple blood test is called the "3 T" test....

Deviated septum can be caused by enlarged turbs, what the doctors arent telling you is that they are cutting bone and tissue out to straigten your septum out...

Ask questions, get 2nd 3rd opinions.. Once they remove any parts of your turbs you will never get them back, they dont regrow or can be regenerated so be careful, alot of the times doctors use these simple terms deviated septum, rhinoplasty, somnoplasty and all that other BS just to get approved....
