Sinusitis in Marina Del Rey, Long Beach and Bakersfield, CA

Sinus headaches and sinus-related symptoms can be uncomfortable and may interfere with daily activities. Many people experience pressure or discomfort around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead, often accompanied by congestion and a persistent feeling of heaviness.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, the team at Del Rey MD can help evaluate your condition and identify potential causes. From there, we can guide you through appropriate next steps and treatment options based on your individual needs.

What Is Sinusitis

WHAT Is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces located within the facial bones. When these areas become inflamed or blocked, normal drainage may be affected, which can lead to a range of symptoms.

What Causes Sinusitis?

Sinusitis can develop due to several factors, including:

  • Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal)
  • Allergies
  • Inflammation of the nasal lining
  • Structural issues that affect sinus drainage

What Are the Symptoms of Sinusitis?

Sinusitis may present with a variety of symptoms, which can overlap with other conditions. Evaluation by a healthcare provider can help determine the underlying cause.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Facial pain or pressure around the eyes, nose, jaw, or teeth
  • Nasal congestion or obstruction
  • Thick nasal discharge (yellow, green, or cloudy)
  • Reduced sense of smell or taste
  • Headaches
  • Postnasal drip
  • Fatigue or disrupted sleep
  • Low-grade fever
What Are Sinusitis Symptoms

What Are the Different Types of Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is typically categorized based on duration and recurrence:

  • Acute sinusitis: Often short-term, commonly following a cold, and may last up to 10 days
  • Subacute sinusitis: Symptoms may last several weeks before improving
  • Chronic sinusitis: Symptoms persist for 12 weeks or longer
  • Recurrent sinusitis: Multiple episodes of sinus infections within a year

What Are the Treatment Options for Sinusitis?

Treatment depends on the underlying cause, severity, and duration of symptoms. Options may include:

  • Medications: Prescription or over-the-counter medications may help manage symptoms and address underlying causes
  • Balloon sinus dilation: A minimally invasive, in-office procedure that may help improve sinus drainage for certain patients
  • Sinus surgery (FESS): In some cases, surgical treatment may be considered to improve sinus function and airflow

Your provider will evaluate your symptoms and determine the most appropriate approach based on your individual needs.

Balloon Sinus Dilation

Balloon sinus dilation is a minimally invasive procedure that may be recommended for certain patients with sinusitis. During the procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the nasal passage and gently inflated to open blocked sinus pathways and improve drainage.

The procedure is typically performed in an office setting using local anesthesia. Many patients are able to return to normal activities within a short period of time, depending on their individual condition.
