The consultation considers symptoms, their effect on daily life and the findings on examination. Dr. Abhishek Malviya explains the available options so that the next step can be planned for the individual patient.
When Can Nasal Polypectomy Be Considered?
Nasal polypectomy removes polyps that may contribute to blocked breathing and reduced smell. It may be combined with sinus surgery when appropriate. Medicines and follow-up may still be needed because polyps can recur.
Concerns that may need assessment include:
- Persistent nasal blockage
- Reduced sense of smell
- Polyps seen during nasal examination
How Is the Assessment Planned?
Endoscopy assesses the extent of polyps and the surrounding nasal tissue. CT imaging may be required when sinus disease or surgery is being considered. Unusual or one-sided findings may need further assessment.
Bring earlier prescriptions, hearing tests, scans and relevant medical records. Tell the clinician about current medicines, allergies and previous procedures. Tests are chosen according to the examination rather than being necessary for every patient.
What Does Treatment Involve?
Polyps are removed through the nose, often alongside endoscopic sinus surgery when indicated. Tissue may be sent for laboratory examination. Medical treatment remains an important part of long-term control.
Recovery, Follow-up & Possible Risks
Polyps can return even after successful removal. Follow-up and prescribed nasal medicines help manage inflammation. Bleeding, scarring, infection and continuing smell or breathing problems are possible.
The expected benefit, alternatives and limitations are discussed before treatment. Follow the individual plan for medicines, activity and review. Recovery depends on the condition, the procedure and general health; another patient’s recovery is not a fixed guide.

Can nasal polyps return after surgery?
Yes. Surgery removes existing polyps but does not necessarily remove the underlying tendency to inflammation.
Will every patient need a procedure?
No. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, severity, examination findings and previous care. Nonsurgical options are considered where appropriate.
How is the recovery time decided?
The clinician explains the expected course for the specific treatment. Follow-up findings determine when normal activities can safely resume.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring earlier reports, scans, prescriptions and a list of current medicines. For a child, share hearing, sleep and school-related concerns where relevant.
