Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that develop on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. Often resembling teardrops or grapes, they can occur due to chronic inflammation associated with allergies, asthma, infections, or other conditions.
At Modena Health, we understand the discomfort and breathing difficulties that nasal polyps can cause. Our ENT specialists apply a precision-based approach for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment options.
Your journey to better breathing begins with a thorough evaluation by our ENT specialists, which may include a nasal endoscopy or CT scan to assess the size and location of your nasal polyps.
Treatment options range from medical management with nasal corticosteroid sprays and oral medications to minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery for polyp removal and the correction of underlying sinus issues that contribute to polyp formation. Our team will discuss the best approach for you based on your individual condition and preferences.
Individuals experiencing persistent nasal congestion, difficulty breathing through the nose, loss of smell, or recurrent sinus infections may be candidates for nasal polyp treatment. Our ENT specialists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for you.
Recovery after nasal polyp treatment depends on the chosen method. Medical management with nasal sprays typically involves no downtime. Endoscopic sinus surgery may involve some nasal congestion, discharge, and mild discomfort for about a week. We will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including nasal saline rinses, to promote healing and prevent infection. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, with full healing taking several weeks.
Improvement in nasal breathing and other symptoms may be noticeable within a few days to weeks after starting medical treatment or following surgery as swelling subsides.
While treatment can effectively remove or shrink nasal polyps, there is a tendency for polyps to recur in some individuals. Long-term management often involves ongoing medical therapy and regular follow-up to control inflammation and prevent regrowth.
Medications, particularly nasal corticosteroids, can often shrink or control nasal polyps, but they may not provide a permanent cure, and polyps can recur.
Not always. Mild to moderate nasal polyps may be effectively managed with medication. Surgery is typically recommended for larger polyps or when medical treatment is not sufficient.
Managing underlying conditions like allergies and asthma, avoiding nasal irritants, and using nasal steroid sprays as prescribed can help prevent polyp recurrence.
While generally safe, potential risks of endoscopic sinus surgery include bleeding, infection, changes in sense of smell, and, rarely, injury to the eyes or brain. Our surgeons take precautions to minimize these risks.
