NOSE (Rhinology)

NOSE (Rhinology) is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of disorders related to the nose and sinuses. The term "rhinology" comes from the Greek word "rhinos," meaning nose, and "logos," meaning study or discourse.



This field encompasses a wide range of conditions, including nasal obstruction, sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, and allergies, among others. Rhinologists, who are otolaryngologists (ENT specialists), diagnose and treat these conditions using various methods, including medical management, surgical procedures, and sometimes advanced technologies like endoscopy. Treatments often aim to restore normal breathing, alleviate sinus infections, and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic nasal and sinus conditions.
