Nasal Endoscopy – नाक और Sinus की Camera जांच
📹 नाक बंद की Exact Reason? Camera से देखें Screen पर!
Nasal Endoscopy एक advanced procedure है जिसमें thin camera (endoscope) नाक में डालकर screen पर live video देखते हैं। यह clearly show करता है: नाक बंद की reason (DNS, polyps, hypertrophied turbinates), sinus infection (pus discharge), nasal septum deviation, adenoid enlargement, tumors। Traditional examination से 10-20 गुना better view, hidden areas visible, painless, 5-10 minutes, patient भी screen पर देख सकते हैं!
Prime ENT Center Hardoi में high-definition nasal endoscopy system है। डॉ. हर्षिता सिंह (DNB ENT, Fellowship Rhinology – Nose & Sinus Specialist) nasal endoscopy expert हैं।

Nasal Endoscopy क्या है?
Nasal Endoscopy (Rhinoscopy) एक procedure है जिसमें thin, flexible या rigid endoscope को नाक में introduce करके nasal cavity, sinuses, और nasopharynx की detailed examination की जाती है। पूरा view TV/monitor पर live दिखता है।
Types of Endoscopes:
- Flexible Endoscope: Thin, bendable – comfortable, well-tolerated, can navigate curves
- Rigid Endoscope: Metal telescope with different angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 70°) – better image quality, detailed examination
कब Nasal Endoscopy की ज़रूरत है?
1. Chronic Nasal Blockage (नाक बंद):
- Symptoms: एक या दोनों नाक blocked, mouth breathing, snoring
- Causes detected:
- DNS (Deviated Nasal Septum): नाक की बीच की हड्डी/cartilage टेढ़ी
- Turbinate Hypertrophy: नाक के अंदर की structures swollen
- Nasal Polyps: जेली जैसी growths
- Adenoid Hypertrophy (Children): Throat के upper part में growth
- Endoscopy exact cause दिखाता है!
2. Chronic Sinusitis (पुराना साइनस इन्फेक्शन):
- Symptoms: Facial pain/pressure, nasal discharge (thick, yellow/green), post-nasal drip, reduced smell
- Endoscopy shows:
- Pus discharge from sinus openings
- Swollen mucosa
- Polyps blocking sinuses
- Fungal sinusitis
3. Recurrent Nosebleeds (बार-बार नाक से खून):
- Source identification
- Prominent blood vessels visualize
- Tumors rule out
4. Loss of Smell (सूंघने की शक्ति कम):
- Polyps blocking olfactory region?
- Chronic sinusitis affecting smell area?
5. Suspected Nasal Mass/Tumor:
- Visualization और biopsy guidance
- Benign vs malignant assessment
6. Pre/Post-Surgery Assessment:
- FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) से पहले detailed mapping
- Post-surgery follow-up – healing check
Nasal Endoscopy Procedure
Preparation:
- कोई special preparation नहीं
- No fasting required
During Procedure:
Step 1: Nasal Decongestant:
- Nasal decongestant spray (shrinks swollen tissues)
- Wait 5-10 minutes
Step 2: Local Anesthesia (Optional):
- Local anesthetic spray/cotton pledgets
- Numbs nasal lining – comfortable examination
Step 3: Endoscope Introduction:
- Thin endoscope gently नाक में advance
- Camera और light on
- Live video monitor पर
Step 4: Systematic Examination:
- Nasal vestibule, septum, turbinates examine
- Sinus openings visualize
- Different angles using 0°, 30°, 70° scopes
- Nasopharynx (adenoids in children)
Step 5: Documentation:
- Photos captured
- Video recording
- Patient को भी दिखाते हैं
Duration: 5-10 minutes per side
Is It Painful?
- Generally NOT painful with anesthesia
- May feel pressure, tickling
- Brief watering of eyes (normal reflex)
What Can Be Diagnosed?
1. DNS (Deviated Nasal Septum):
- S-shaped या C-shaped deviation
- Spurs (sharp projections)
- Severity assessment
2. Nasal Polyps:
- Greyish, grape-like masses
- Size, number, location
- Bilateral usually
3. Chronic Sinusitis:
- Pus discharge from sinus openings (ostiomeatal complex)
- Mucosal edema, congestion
- Polyps within sinuses
4. Turbinate Hypertrophy:
- Inferior turbinates enlarged
- Blocking nasal airway
5. Adenoid Hypertrophy (Children):
- Nasopharynx में mass blocking airway
- Causes mouth breathing, snoring
6. Tumors:
- Benign (inverted papilloma, angiofibroma)
- Malignant (squamous cell carcinoma)
- Biopsy planning

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally नहीं! Local anesthetic spray से nasal lining numb हो जाती है। May feel pressure या tickling sensation। Brief watering of eyes normal है। Most patients easily tolerate करते हैं।
5-10 minutes per side। Total दोनों नाक के लिए: 10-20 minutes। बहुत quick procedure है। Same day results मिल जाते हैं।
हाँ! बच्चों में especially useful है adenoids देखने के लिए। Flexible thin endoscope use करते हैं। Gentle approach, parent cooperation, distraction techniques – usually well-tolerated।
अगर DNS severe है और symptoms cause कर रहा है (chronic blockage, sinusitis), तो Septoplasty surgery recommended है। यह corrective surgery है जो deviated septum को straighten करती है। Endoscopic या conventional technique – both effective हैं।
Depends on size। Small polyps: Medical management first (nasal steroid sprays, oral steroids)। Large/multiple polyps causing significant blockage: Endoscopic polypectomy या FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)। Surgery के बाद भी medical management जारी रखना होता है (polyps recur कर सकते हैं)।
Minimal precautions: (1) कुछ hours तक nose blow न करें, (2) अगर slight bleeding हो तो normal है – usually stops quickly, (3) Prescribed nasal drops/sprays use करें। Same day normal activities resume कर सकते हैं।
नहीं – दोनों complementary हैं। Endoscopy = Direct visualization of nasal cavity। CT scan = सिनस के अंदर का detailed bony anatomy। Chronic sinusitis evaluation या FESS planning में दोनों ही जरूरी हैं।
हाँ! डॉ. हर्षिता Singh ने Fellowship in Rhinology (nose and sinus surgery) किया है। Nasal endoscopy, FESS, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, sinus surgeries में expert हैं। 12+ years experience with specialized training।
