What is nasal polyps?

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They are caused by chronic inflammation due to allergies, infection, or other irritants.

You maybe suffering from allergic rhinitis along with your nasal polyp problem. You need to avoid the cause of your allergies and also take anti allergy medications. Please consult for prescription. If you have an infection and have fever you will need to do a course of antibiotics. For now do warm saline gargle and steam inhalation 3 times a day.
You will need to use a steroid nasal spray to control the size of your polyps.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user,
Please get it done CT Scan of your Nose with 3D Reconstruction. After seeing the reports we can suggest you the treatment plan.

Nasal polyp may or may not require surgery depending on its size, site etc. In case it needs surgery it is done by endoscopy. In a corporate hospital where I work it may cost around sixty to seventy thousands minimum. These surgeries are sophisticated. U have to stay in hospital for 1 day. U can start all normal activities within 7 days.

Share the report with me.
Medication:

E functional endoscopic sinus surgery) is preferred choice for nasal polyps with less chance of recurrence if done properly and using latest instruments like microdebrider.

Septoplasty, also known as turbinectomy or turbinoplasty, is a surgery to fix the deviated or deformed nasal septum. The cost of surgery depends on various factors and may vary per hospital and medical service providers. You may need to discuss it further over a call for a further detailed consultation.
Thanks.

It depends upon the etiology. If the polyps are fungal in origin, then chance of recurrence is high. Also in a country like India where dust and pollution is everywhere, curing polyps is very difficult cos the patient goes back to the same environment after surgery. I have had many patients who never had recurrence after they settled in Europe or America. Middle East and Asia are hot and dusty which is perfect for polyps. Plus genetic factors like allergy, asthma, etc also increase recurrence. P...more
