A normal person can see two red meatballs in their nostrils when they look up, which are actually the front end of the inferior turbinate. These meatballs are a normal phenomenon. So, what if there are meatballs in the nose during pregnancy?
After a woman becomes pregnant and discovers abnormal meatballs in her nose, there are several solutions:
1. Women can go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for nasal endoscopy to determine the specific condition of the meatball, and then receive targeted treatment. The meatball inside the nose may be a nasal polyp. First, it is necessary to determine the severity of the female nasal polyp. If it is not very serious, it is best to protect it regularly and undergo surgical treatment after giving birth to the baby. If the condition of nasal polyps is severe, for the health of the fetus and pregnant woman, immediate surgical treatment is necessary, preferably after four months of pregnancy, as the fetus is relatively stable.
2. Nasal polyps can be treated by flushing the nasal cavity with physiological saline. If medication is needed, women should consult with obstetricians and otolaryngologists to choose the safest and least harmful medication to reduce the impact on the fetus.
3. The meatballs in the nose after pregnancy, which may also be enlarged inferior turbinates, are caused by a decrease in the body's resistance after pregnancy. Women can apply hot compress or smoke the nose to achieve ventilation. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water and avoiding foods that are prone to overheating. Strengthening nutrition is very beneficial for the recovery of enlarged nasal turbinates.
