Do nasal polyps have to be operated on?
Nasal polyps are a relatively common otolaryngological disease, and treatment does not necessarily require surgery. Currently, there are mainly two treatment plans considered: the first is medication treatment, and the second is surgical treatment. If the nasal polyps are few and the clinical symptoms are not particularly severe, the first consideration would be conservative medication treatment. Commonly used are corticosteroid nasal sprays, along with saline nasal rinses. Treatment is effective for most patients, but regular follow-ups are needed to monitor the recovery. If there are many nasal polyps and standardized medication treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment needs to be considered. Currently, the commonly used method is endoscopic nasal polyp removal surgery, which is a minimally invasive surgery with generally good results. (Medication use should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
