Hello, hypertrophic turbinates refer to the swelling of nasal mucosa caused by long-term inflammation, leading to nasal obstruction. For certain hypertrophic inferior turbinates, the use of nasal mucosal vasoconstrictors and Chinese and Western medicine treatments often yields poor results. In addition to medication, methods to improve nasal ventilation include partial inferior turbinate resection, cryotherapy, microwave therapy, laser therapy, and partial removal of nasal polyps, among others.
