Should Nasal Polyps Be Removed If Having Loss Of Smell?

I lose my smell due to polyps growing like grapes. I use Diprofos 5mg injection every 45-50 days. Should I go to have my polyps removed once again?....this has been a chronic situation with my nose and I often had infections in my sinuses. Other than urinating 2-3 times a night (first 2 weeks after the injection) I feel very good. I am concerned with side effects down the road, please give me your thoughts. Thanks, Michael
