Can nasal septum cartilage regenerate?

The structure of the nose is very complex and difficult to observe from the outside. There is a bone in it called the nasal septum cartilage. This bone is very important. If this bone is damaged, it will not regenerate and it will have a great impact on breathing. After nasal septum surgery, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the inside of the nose. Try not to eat irritating foods to avoid inflammation and greater harm. Let’s learn about it below.

Deviation of nasalseptum refers to the nasal septum deviating to one or both sides, or having a local protrusion, causing nasal dysfunction, such as nasal congestion, nosebleed or headache. The clinical types of nasal septum deviation include C-type, S-type, or a pointed cone-like protrusion, or a strip-shaped ridge-like protrusion (bone ridge) running from right front to back. Since the nasal septum is composed of multiple pieces of cartilage and bone, which form complex connections with each other, balanced growth and development among the bones can ensure that the nasal septum is in a normal median position. If one of the bones does not develop normally, it may affect the development of other bones, resulting in various forms of connection between the bones.

Nasal septum surgery: It is to remove part of the cartilage and bone tissue of the nasal septum to adjust the structure of the nasal cavity, so as to make the nasal cavity more ventilated and ensure normal ventilation function; but there is a very small number of patients who may survive;

If you have an allergic constitution, it is best to wear a mask. Generally, the removed cartilage cannot grow back.
