Polyp surgery is the treatment option that needs to be done when various nasal polyp treatment efforts have been made, but it does not provide optimal results. Nasal polyps are tissue growths in the form of small bumps on the walls of the respiratory tract in the nose.
Polyps develop when the mucous membranes in the nose or sinuses become inflamed and swollen, over a long period of time. Polyps that grow large enough on the surface of the lining of the airways in the nose or sinuses, can block the respiratory tract and cause infections and respiratory problems.
Recognize the Symptoms that are felt
Most people with nasal polyps have cold and sneezing symptoms. Some people with polyps have a problem with the sense of smell. Other nasal polyps are as follows:- Nasal congestion
- Itching around the eyes
- Snot dripping behind the nasal cavity into the throat (postnasal drip)
- Pain in the face or headache
- Pain in the upper teeth.
Steps for Nasal Polyps Treatment
To ascertain the type of treatment that can be done on your nasal polyps, your doctor may conduct a series of examinations, ranging from a history of complaints, physical examinations, and investigations such as nasal endoscopy, to imaging such as CT-Scan if needed. There are several steps that can be taken by doctors as an effort to treat and treat nasal polyps:Nasal Drops
In treating nasal polyps, initially a general practitioner or ENT specialist will prescribe nasal drops or nasal sprays that contain corticosteroids. These drops can reduce inflammation in the nose and help shrink your polyps.
Giving Corticosteroids
Your doctor may also prescribe corticosteroid tablets (oral corticosterides) which can be combined with nasal drops. If symptoms do not improve using corticosteroid drops or tablets, the doctor recommends polyp surgery.
Nasal Polyp Surgery
The procedure for removing nasal polyps can be done endoscopically, namely surgery by inserting a small elastic tube with a camera lens at the end (endoscopy). This method is done to facilitate the tracking of disorders that occur in the respiratory tract. Then by using a small device through an endoscopic tube, the ENT doctor will perform the removal of polyps and other blockages, to improve breathing flow. This polyp operation generally does not make any cuts on your face.
