Guide To The Causes Of Chronic Rhinitis

Hormonal Changes

Our bodies are comprised of numerous hormones that stimulate different parts of the brain. Chronic rhinitis can occur when the body is experiencing a hormonal imbalance, such as during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy. For pregnant women, it usually starts during the second month of the pregnancy and lasts until childbirth. Other hormonal conditions, such as hypothyroidism, can also trigger symptoms of chronic rhinitis. Stress can also be another cause of chronic rhinitis, as often when the body becomes stressed, the immune system weakens, allowing infections, such as a cold to develop, resulting in a persistent, runny nose.
