Empty Nose Syndrome
  • Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a clinical nasal
    syndrome that prevents an individual from being
    able to contract proper airflow to and from their
    nasal cavities.This syndrome is specifically
    complex, however, as those affected by this
    syndrome do not have anything covering their
    nasal passages, but feel as though they do.In
    fact, Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is such a
    controversial topic amongst doctors that it
    wasnt taken seriously until individuals
    suffering from this inconspicuous syndrome became
    prone to committing suicide.

What causes empty nose syndrome (ENS)?
  • Nose InjuriesAt the time of a nose injury, an
    individuals turbinate receptors can become
    traumatized. This can further cause their ability
    to sense airflow to falter, making them feel as
    though they cannot breathe.Nasal SurgeryMost
    of the people are born with a nose misalignment
    however, some cases are worse than others. Those
    in need of a septoplasty surgery or turbinate
    reduction can experience side effects after the
    surgery is complete.While trying to rectify an
    existing breathing issue, there are hardly few
    who encounter empty nose syndrome (ENS), which
    irrevocably causes their breathing-impairment to
    worsen.

What are the complications related with empty
nose syndrome?
  • Because of empty nose syndromes major symptoms,
    an individuals unwillingness to seek solutions
    can have a direct impact on their mental
    health.Rather than that, the excess use of
    saline sprays and over-the-counter nasal

How can empty nose syndrome be treated?
  • Unfortunately, a lack of understanding and
    research on this matter has left any long-term
    cures obsolete. However, there are many
    short-term treatments that can offer some relief
    from more pressing symptoms.For instance,
    living in a warmer climate and incorporating a
    humidifier into ones household can reduce the
    sensitivity brought forth by cold air.Taking an
    advice from an otolaryngologist or having routine
    antibiotic nasal sprays introduced into ones
    nasal cavity can keep inflammation and pain at
    bay.Moreover, investing in a CPAP machine to
    enhance ones breathing during nighttime can
    create better grounds for a full nights
    sleep.While surgical cures are currently
    ongoing, results are not guaranteed till date.
    Though, the symptom of suffocation can be lowered
    down by having a cellular dermis implanted below
    the nasal cavity.
