Please explain: A deviated nasal septum is the rule. It is quite rare to have a "perfectly" straight septum. An injury to the front of the face is common in life, leading to a dislocation of the septal cartilage. A deviated septum that is severe usually causes difficulty breathing through one side of the nose but could give rise to sinusitis. However, it should not lead to other health problems.

Deviated septum: A deviated septum is not an uncommon problem. It can lead to nasal obstruction, snoring and even sinus issues. You only need surgery if you are having symptoms.If there are symptoms like nasal obstruction, snoring or recurrent sinusitis, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
