FAQs About Chronic Sinusitis and Treatment

Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small balloon to gently open blocked sinus pathways. It offers effective relief for those requiring long-term sinusitis treatment with minimal downtime.

Yes, nasal polyps can contribute to sinus infections and worsened congestion, often playing a role in chronic sinus conditions. Removal may be necessary in severe cases.
