I have nasal polyps, and have had multiple surgeries, what do I do?

by Admin on November 5, 2009

Prednisone only helps for like two weeks. I have had two polypectomys within months of each other, polyps return after only a month or two. Also I had Image Guided Sinus Surgery, which that was done in march and polyps are already back. I get allergy shots, take singulair, nasonex, astelin, zyrtec, and gentamicin nasal irrigation. I do not want to go under another surgery. What else can I do?

Cut off your nose to spite your face.

Seriously, though. What else are you supposed to do? If there was another way, then the doctors would have told you. It’s not like they enjoy doing surgery up your nose.

Is it possible that you are overmedicating yourself and that is irritating them, rather than helping?

I read a book by a guy that used visualization to eliminate nasal polyps. He would visualize the blood circulation being restricted to the polyps. In a few weeks, the polyps just fell off.
