Before treatment, the patient has to undergo a thorough diagnosis to determine the kind of treatment they need, through diagnostic and imaging tests such as nasal endoscopy, CT scans, allergy tests, blood tests, tissue cultures, etc.
Nasal polyp treatment generally focuses on reducing the size of polyps or eliminating them completely to provide the patient relief from associated breathing problems like sinusitis, asthma flare-up, etc. Generally, the first approach to treatment is medications. However, the patient may need surgical intervention if medical treatment does not work in shrinking the polyps.
Medical treatment for nasal polyps includes nasal or oral/injectable corticosteroids. Along with steroids, the patient may also need other medications for symptomatic relief, i.e., medicines for sinusitis, pain management, etc. If the patient has an allergy flare up, they may also need medications for allergy management.
Endoscopic surgery is the most preferred surgical treatment for nasal polyps. During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts an endoscope (a small tube with camera lens or magnifying glass) through the nasal passages and uses endoscopic instruments to remove the polyps and other nasal blockages. This improves airflow through the nasal and paranasal areas. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. Since no major cuts or incisions are performed during the surgery, the recovery process is usually very quick.
You should follow the given instructions to prepare for the surgery and avoid both surgical and post-surgical complications:
Nasal polyps are often mistaken for common cold, flu, sinusitis, etc., as their symptoms are so similar. The most obvious sign of a nasal polyp is that the symptoms are worsening instead of improving despite medical treatment. If the symptoms persist for over 10 days, then the patient should consult an ENT specialist for treatment immediately.
Not getting treatment on time can lead to serious complications like difficulty in breathing, double or reduced vision, severe facial swelling, headache, etc. A general or primary care physician can perform the initial consultation, but only an ENT specialist will be able to treat nasal polyps properly for long-term relief.
The exact recovery time after nasal polyp treatment depends on the severity of the condition, the size of the polyps, associated health conditions, the type of treatment, etc. With medical management, patients start noticing obvious improvement in their symptoms within 1-2 weeks. However, most patients are advised to take medicines for 4-6 weeks to prevent a recurrence.
If endoscopic surgery is performed, the patient can start performing light activities and return to desk work within one week; however, exercising and strenuous activities have to be delayed until at least 2-3 weeks after the surgery. Complete recovery usually takes at least 4-6 weeks.
If you’ve recently undergone nasal polyp surgery, you should follow the given tips to aid your recovery:
Some basic preventive tips the patient can follow for nasal polyp prevention are:
Nasal polyp surgery has a high success rate in providing symptomatic relief to the patient with a high quality of life.
Recurrence of nasal polyps can be avoided with proper care and treatment. However, most patients (around 80%) have reported recurrence of polyp formation a few years after the surgery.
Occasionally, if left untreated, nasal polyps can continue to grow and result in permanent damage to soft tissues near it such as the eye, brain, etc. Accumulation of bacteria & viruses due to the soft tissue growth may lead to sinus infection as well.
No, nasal polyps are benign growths causing nasal congestions, and while they grow continuously when not removed, they generally never turn malignant.
Most patients do not have any pain after the surgery, however they may experience discomfort, congestion, and spotty nose bleeds for a few days, which is generally managed through over-the-counter medications.
Small nasal polyps are generally asymptomatic, however, large growths can block the nasal passages and cause severe breathing distress. They can even result in loss of smelling and taste sensations and increase the probability of nasal and sinus infections. If you do not get proper treatment for nasal polyps, it can potentially result in complications like obstructive sleep apnea, asthma flare-ups, recurrent sinus infections, etc.
Although very safe, occasionally nasal polyp surgery can result in complications like:
