When Sinus Symptoms Don’t Go Away: Signs You Might Need Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
If you’ve been battling constant nasal congestion, facial pain, or pressure around your eyes and forehead that just won’t quit—even after trying medications—your chronic sinus issues might require more than just over-the-counter relief. Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that could offer lasting comfort when all else fails.
So, how do you know it’s time to consider this option?
Common Symptoms That May Point to Chronic Sinusitis
While most sinus infections resolve on their own or with medication, persistent symptoms can indicate chronic sinusitis, which often requires surgical intervention. Here are the red flags to watch for:
- Persistent Nasal Congestion or Blockage: If you constantly feel stuffy or can't breathe easily through your nose, even after using nasal sprays or antihistamines, this could be a sign of a deeper sinus blockage.
- Facial Pain and Pressure: Ongoing discomfort or tenderness around your eyes, forehead, or cheeks may signal inflamed or infected sinus cavities.
- Frequent or Recurrent Sinus Infections: Getting sinus infections multiple times a year—even with antibiotics—suggests that your sinuses aren’t draining properly.
- Loss of Smell or Taste: When inflammation or polyps block your nasal passages, you may notice a significant decline in your sense of smell or taste.
- Headaches or Pain Behind the Eyes: Sinus-related headaches can often be misdiagnosed as migraines. If the pain is deep and located around your eyes or forehead, your sinuses may be to blame.
- Postnasal Drip and Chronic Cough: Mucus dripping down the back of your throat can lead to constant throat clearing or coughing, especially at night.
- Fatigue: Constant infection and inflammation can drain your energy levels, leading to persistent tiredness and brain fog.
If these symptoms have lasted more than 12 weeks despite treatment, you may be a candidate for endoscopic sinus surgery.
What Is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?
Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to view and clear blocked sinus pathways. There are no external cuts—everything is done through the nostrils, making recovery faster and more comfortable.
