How Can Nasal Polyps Be Treated?

hi! I have a problem in my nose. The nasal opening is small. It is technically called nasal polypus(or sinus also).I face problems like blocked nose which also creates speech problems. How should I go about getting rid of this disease? The doctor has told me to get a PNS test first.
I would like to hear from your side!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Polyp is an abnormal growth of mucous membrane. I would suggest to consult ENT specialist and undergo nasal endoscopy and CT PNS scan to know the pattern and extent of polyp. Following treatment will useful:

- Saline nasal wash such as Saltnase/ Netiwash
- Alkaline nasal douching steroids and anti allergic nasal sprays

If these does not respond then final option is Balloon Sinuplasty and Office based Micro-debrider polypectomy. So treatment will depend on CT scan image of PNS.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar
