People with nasal polyps can see an ENT surgeon for surgery to remove the polyps. This helps improve sinus drainage, so medicines and nasal rinses work better.
After surgery, it’s important to keep using nasal rinses to keep the sinuses clear.
Surgery removes nasal polyps, but they may grow back because surgery doesn’t treat the underlying cause of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). If the polyps return, you can talk to your specialist about other treatment options, such as monoclonal antibody therapy. This is an expensive treatment that is only prescribed by allergy specialists to patients who meet set requirements.
