A member asked:
If you had your turbinates completely removed would your nose be unable to be congested? (assuming there are no structural problems)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Turbinectomy: After turbinectomy the obstruction is relieved, but the mucous membrane is still there, anytime swelling of the mucous membrane happens, it can cause congestion.
