Will nasal polyps recur after surgery?
Nasal polyps are a relatively common otolaryngologic condition. In terms of treatment, some patients may consider conservative medication, while others may need to consider surgical treatment. Both medical and surgical treatments can potentially recur. Therefore, after nasal polyp surgery, long-term regular follow-ups are necessary. Generally, it is recommended to have a follow-up once a week, and if the condition recovers well, the follow-up interval can be extended to about once a month. During the follow-up, a nasopharyngoscopy can be performed to check the specific recovery status. Additionally, many patients may need to use corticosteroid nasal sprays. Also, rinsing the nasal cavity with saline is recommended. Generally, with standardized follow-ups and treatment, the chances of recurrence are relatively small. (Please use medication under the guidance of a professional physician, and do not self-medicate.)
