Not only will it have a certain impact on the patient's personal image, but it will also cause great damage to the patient's body. So what should teenagers do if they suffer from nasal polyps? The editor will now answer this question for you.

Most young patients with nasal polyps originally only have common allergic rhinitis. Therefore, due to insufficient attention, they often allow long-term inflammation stimulation and severe edema of the nasal mucosa, which obstructs the return of venous and lymphatic fluid and eventually leads to the formation of nasal polyps. As nasal polyps continue to grow in size or increase in number, nasal obstruction symptoms gradually worsen, and some patients may even develop a "frog nose," which has a great impact on their appearance.

Nasal polyps are very harmful, and many people will take medication to treat them. In fact, nasal polyps cannot be treated with medication. At most, it can only relieve the symptoms. Therefore, surgical treatment is the only and better option.

1. Before surgery: Perform a detailed examination of the nose using a nasal endoscope. The patient is advised to remember the medication history and bring previous medical records. Before surgery, doctors will also conduct various routine examinations on patients, such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, biochemistry, etc., to determine the patient's overall condition.

2. Surgery and anesthesia: General anesthesia or local anesthesia will be used depending on the situation. It is necessary to fast for 10 hours and no water for 4 hours before the operation. Within 6 hours after general anesthesia, since the patient is not basically awake, family members are requested not to feed the patient to avoid danger. There are no special dietary restrictions for patients receiving local anesthesia.

3. After the operation: You should have regular follow-up visits after the operation and see the doctor to understand the condition of the surgical cavity. If necessary, the surgical cavity should be cleaned and new granulations or cysts should be removed to ensure the effectiveness of the operation.
