"Does a sinus puncture surgery cause pain?"

During puncture treatment for sinusitis patients, there is generally no significant pain symptom. However, some patients with higher sensitivity may experience mild discomfort during the puncture process.

1. Causes:

Sinusitis is a disease caused by bacterial infection, typically resulting in local mucosal congestion, edema, and accompanied by symptoms such as purulent nasal discharge and headache. If the condition is severe, improvement may be achieved through puncture methods.

2. Procedure:

Before the puncture, the skin is disinfected. Then, a needle is used to puncture the affected area and drain the fluid, facilitating drainage and promoting inflammation resolution. This also alleviates clinical symptoms. The entire procedure is not complicated and does not cause harm to the body, so there is no significant pain sensation. Nevertheless, a small proportion of individuals may experience adverse reactions, such as mild swelling or pain, which are normal and do not require special concern or treatment. These will gradually resolve over time.

3. Precautions:

After the puncture, rest is advised, and avoiding water or bathing for a short period to prevent wound irritation and infection. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet, focusing on light foods, fresh fruits, and vegetables, while avoiding greasy or spicy foods that may affect postoperative outcomes. If any of the aforementioned conditions occur, promptly consult an otolaryngologist for a physical examination, CT scan, and other relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis. In daily life, take precautions against colds by adjusting clothing according to weather changes.
