A nasal polyp is a soft, painless, benign growth that develops on the inner lining of the nose and sinuses. They can be shaped like a cluster of grapes or a teardrop. They may occur singly or in multiples and can obstruct the nasal airways.
The exact cause of nasal polyps is unknown. However, the following factors are thought to play a role in their formation:
Nasal polyps can cause the following symptoms:
Nasal polypectomy is the surgical removal of nasal polyps. This procedure is usually performed in conjunction with endoscopic sinus surgery.
Evaluation and Tests:
Before surgery, the patient's overall health is assessed and a series of tests are performed. These tests may include physical examination, endoscopic nasal examination, allergy tests, and imaging tests (such as CT scans).
Preparation Process:
Before surgery, the patient may need to fast for a certain period. Additionally, some medications may need to be temporarily discontinued. Your doctor will provide detailed information about the preoperative preparation process.
Recovery Process:
After surgery, some pain, swelling, and bleeding in the nose may occur. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days. To accelerate the recovery process, your doctor will provide you with certain recommendations (e.g., using nasal sprays, keeping your head elevated).
Nasal Care:
After surgery, it is important to keep the inside of the nose clean and moist. Your doctor will give you instructions on nasal care (e.g., rinsing the nose with saline solution, using a moisturizer).
Possible Complications:
After nasal polypectomy surgery, some complications may rarely develop. These include bleeding, infection, damage to nasal bones, eye problems, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
Nasal polyps can recur. The risk of recurrence depends on the cause of the polyps, the patient’s age, and other factors. To prevent recurrence, your doctor may recommend long-term treatment (e.g., nasal sprays, allergy treatment).
Medication (Nasal Sprays):
Allergy Treatment:
If allergies are one of the causes of polyps, allergy treatment may be necessary. This treatment can include avoiding allergens, medication, and immunotherapy (allergy shots).
