You may have sinus : allergies causing the swelling. The better question is why are my turbinates swelling, as the normal state is not swollen and the size varies in normal turbinates, male or female anatomy. So treat whats making them swell. Then you won't have to worry about the size. Find out what you're allergic to, and start feeling better.
