What causes it
- An injury to the nose — from sports, falls, car accidents or being hit
- Congenital — present at birth from a difficult birth or connective tissue disease
- Normal growth, where the septum grows towards one side (the most common cause)
Deviated Nasal Septum Treatment
Blocked nose, noisy breathing or recurrent sinus problems? A deviated septum may be the cause — our ENT specialists offer medical care and septoplasty surgery.
Deviated Nasal Septum Care
Deviated nasal septum treatment
The nasal septum is the cartilage and bone inside your nose that divides the nasal cavity into a right and a left side. When the septum is off-centre or leans to one side, it has “deviated” — known as a deviated nasal septum.
For many people a deviated septum causes no problems, but for others it can block breathing and lead to recurring nose and sinus issues. Get nasal septum treatment in Hyderabad from our ENT specialists.

Causes & Risk Factors
What causes a deviated septum
A deviated septum has a few common causes and risk factors:
Risk factors
- Playing contact sports
- Not wearing a seat belt while riding a motorbike
- A previous nasal injury
Non-surgical symptom relief
- Decongestants
- Allergy medicines
- Nasal steroid spray
- Nasal strips
- These reduce symptoms but don’t correct the deviation
Treatment
How a deviated septum is treated
For most cases, no treatment is required. When there are symptoms, medicines such as decongestants, allergy medication, a nasal steroid spray and nasal strips can reduce them — although they don’t correct the deviation itself.
For a severely deviated septum, or if symptoms don’t improve with medicines, your ENT surgeon may recommend a reconstructive surgery called septoplasty to straighten the septum and improve breathing.
Septoplasty (surgical correction)
- Recommended when medicines don’t relieve symptoms
- Straightens the deviated septum
- Improves breathing through the nose
- Relieves congestion, headaches & snoring
- Performed by an experienced ENT surgeon
When to see your ENT specialist
Please book an appointment promptly if:
- You have a persistent blocked nose or trouble breathing
- You get recurrent sinus infections
- You have frequent nosebleeds
- You have snoring or sleep apnea
- Symptoms are not improving with medicines

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about deviated nasal septum treatment.
It is when the septum — the cartilage and bone dividing the nasal cavity — is off-centre or leans to one side, which can block breathing and cause nose and sinus problems.
Septoplasty is reconstructive surgery to straighten a deviated septum. It is recommended for a severely deviated septum or when symptoms don’t improve with medicines.
No. Many cases need no treatment, and medicines like decongestants, allergy medication, nasal steroid sprays and nasal strips can reduce symptoms. Surgery is considered when these don’t help.
It can be caused by a nose injury, be present at birth, or result from normal growth where the septum grows towards one side — which is the most common cause.
See an ENT specialist for a persistent blocked nose, recurrent sinus infections, frequent nosebleeds, snoring or sleep apnea, or symptoms not improving with medicines.
