My nose septoplasty in 2013
Health is more important to me now than anything else
I waited too long , now suffering the consequences of chronic sinus
Went for septoplasty and doc says I had the smallest nose and the most congested one. I think he is over exaggerating but now I really suffer like hell.

Here's the blog diary:
Had dried and blocked nose for months ever since moved to a new place.
Think poor ventilation
Dirt
Dust
And soft toys irritate and worsen my sinus
Finally went to see a specialist dr Kenny pang (sleep Asia centre) cos 3 GP couldn't cure me.
He is said to be the best in Asia but I still had complications after my surgery. Really sua...

From website
Postoperative nosebleed is a known complication of any type of intranasal surgery. it most often occurs 7-10 days postop and can usually be easily treated by your operating surgeon.
One month after septoplasty and turbinate reductions will have allowed enough time for the tissues to heal, but not completely. Bloody mucous can certainly accompany a viral cold in this setting.
Sinus surgery won't prevent you from getting colds during cold and flu season.
Septoplasty surgery usually does not cause external swelling or bruising. The nose feels congested and may bleed for two days, and pain medicine is necessary for about 3 days. Most surgeons do not use packing, but many use stents inside the nose. Most patients can breath fairly well after two weeks, and majority may return to work after 3 to 5 days.

Finally graduated in dec 2013
But nose still gets dried easily so need to spray saline water daily.
I pray for totally recovery in 2014
