This overview of sinusitis is intended to improve your understanding of the sinuses, how they function, what causes sinusitis, and how it can best be treated by a knowledgable sinus surgeon.
Acute sinus infections impact nearly everyone at some point, and chronic sinusitis is estimated to impact 12% or more of adults in the United States. Many impacted patients notice the drain on their quality of life, but their symptoms aren't always classic for sinus disease and can go undiagnosed for years. Studies have shown that surgery is more effective than medications alone, and earlier intervention is much more likely to succeed than significantly delayed intervention. This video might help those concerned about their health decide if evaluation by a sinus expert is needed, and learn more about treatment options that might be recommended for lasting relief.
