nasal polyps

by anteemare, Jan 31, 2007 12:00AM
Im worried about getting nasal polyps back.  I had surgery last December, and now suffering once again with congestion and pain.  ENT says polyp tissue has returned and now on Leviquin, did the Prednisone 6day pack.  Has anyone had to go thru the surgery more than once?

Polyps will keep growing.You can do this breathing exercise to control the growth of polyps.Allow 3 months to notice the benefits.
- Deep Breath-in through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
then  - Breath-out through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then   -Deep Breath-in through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then   - Breath-out through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
and repeat this cycle for upto 15 minutes. Maximum 3 times day.
Keep doing this once a day after you are symptom-free.

Hi,

'If you have one or more small polyps, your doctor is likely to prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray such as fluticasone (Flonase), triamcinolone (Nasacort), budesonide (Rhinocort), flunisolide (Nasarel) or mometasone (Nasonex). These medications relieve inflammation, increase nasal airflow and may help shrink polyps.'

'Treatment for nasal polyps may also involve surgery. When medications aren't effective, your doctor may recommend removing your polyps. This is often the only option for people with cystic fibrosis who usually don't respond to steroids. The type of operation depends on the size, number and location of the polyps. Options for nasal polyps surgery include: polypectomy and endoscopic nasal sinus surgery'.
