What is nasal endoscopy?
Nasal endoscopy uses a slim camera to examine the inside of the nose and the areas where the sinuses drain. It can provide information that is not always visible during a routine front-of-nose examination.
Why it may be recommended
- Persistent nasal blockage
- Recurrent sinus symptoms
- Nosebleeds
- Reduced smell
- Post-nasal drip
What to expect
The procedure is usually brief. A topical spray may be used for comfort. Findings can often be discussed immediately.
