Q: Polyp Surgery?
Do you have to remove nipple peircings when getting surgery for Polyp (sinus surgery)

A: Anytime you have surgery it should be removed.

Q: Is nose polyp surgery more effective, if the doctor burns the root of the polyp after removing it?
I have nose polyps, and am considering getting surgery for it.
I have been reading up on this , and it seems like there is a high chance that they grow back… I also read on a doctor’s site that after he removes the polyp, he burns the area, and even though it creates a scar tissue, it stops the polyps to grow back (at least in that immediate area) …….. has anyone experienced polyp surgery?

A: I am a nasal surgeon, and polyps do have a high propensity for recurrence. I have found they are less likely to recur if I also surgically open the sinus the polyp is blocking, and I usually put my patients on a nasal steroid spray after surgery to help prevent recurrence. Ask your surgeon all of your questions before agreeing to a procedure.

Q: How much does nasal polyp surgery cost?
Living in Oklahoma, allergies are bad but with polyps, they are even worse. I have had polyps for quite some time but it has gotten to the point that its effecting my daily life at work and school. Is the surgery permanent and what are the costs if you have insurance (I do have that at least)?

A: You can easily check your minimal health care rates in internet, for example here – healthquotes.awardspace.info

Q: Will the nasal polyp surgery help my allergies?
I have the WORST allergies. One minute I’m coughing. The next I’m draining from the eyes. Then I’m constantly clearing the drainage from my throat.
My doctor advised me to have the polyps removed. I’ve been researching the procedure and think the surgery is meant to assist with breathing problems. I can breathe fine, but this constant Post-Nasal drip is getting ridiculous!

A: I have known people who resolved to not going through surgery and their polyps would resolve by apropriately understanding the beast behind allergies.

Q: Looking for advice from folks who’ve had nasal polyp surgery to restore taste & smell?
I’m considering having nasal polyp surgery (I have 1 polyp) in hopes of restoring my senses of taste & smell, which I haven’t been able to enjoy for the better part of 3 years (have lost 23 pounds that I didn’t even need to lose). Has anyone else out there suffered this malady & had the surgery? I’m looking for opinions & advice. Thank you!

A: My cousin did. He said that it was really a great decision to do it but then again, he couldn’t taste or smell anything for past 15 years.

Q: How long does it take to recover from polyp surgery (in the nose)? (Answers needed really soon, please!)?
I’m having my surgery this upcoming Friday (August 17, 2007) to have my polyp in my nose removed. I’ve done it three years ago in the opposite nostril, so this will be my second time. I really want to know how long it’ll take to recover because I got tickets to the Vans Warped Tour on August 25, 2007 and I’ve been waiting/wanting to go for the LONGEST time ever. Do you think a week (or 6 days) would be probably enough?
Thank you!
-Kimberly.

A: Its a bit late now, as your surgery will be done! You should be feeling well again within a few days to a week. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Q: anyone ever have surgery to remove a polyp from their vocal cord? how long did recovery take?
I’m a mezzo-soprano and I have to get surgery to remove a polyp. What is this surgery like and how could it affect my voice?! thanks for all answers in advance!!

A: Oh I feel for you,you must be very worried if you’re a singer. I’m an opera singer… I think that the surgery shouldn’t be too traumatic, as long as you follow your post recovery plan to the letter. I’m not sure where you are (I’m in the UK), but I’d advise that you ask very specific questions to your ENT specialist. I’ve heard that different types of intubation (plastic, or rubber) can have a massive impact on how quickly you recover (one type can adhere to the cords, and cause more damage, which is very important as a singer.

I think the surgery is only a very short procedure, and not very painful, but this website seems to be very helpful:

The best of luck to you, I hope you feel better soon!

Q: Anal Polyp Surgery Scarring?
Hi guys,

Just had surgery to remove an anal polyp and i was just wondering what the likelehood of having internal scarring would be as i’ve heard it can reduce the ability of the gut walls to stretch and cause discomfort. Is this likely or true?

Thanks guys
Thanks for the second response. I just don’t want it to scar and become less stretchy and cause pain or discomfort or pain during anal sex. Is there anything i can do to prevent scarring and loss of elasticity?

A: Probably

Q: cervical polyp surgery will i be awake for this?
i have cervical polyps that need to be removed?
will i be awake for this! cause it sounds scary.and i have big anxiety for these kinda things. i dont even get my teeth done at the dentist with out gas mask and im 26 years old. i heard its done in an office? so does that mean im gonna be awake! and see my legs on stirrups as the dr. twist and pulls and cuts a polyp i dont think i like this idea!

A: i don’t mean to scare ya but I think you’ll be awake for it. I had abnormal tissue burnt from my cervix and was awake for the whole thing. Because I was so scared the doctor did give me a shot of something to calm me down which worked. Hope it goes well. Be brave!! Oh and don’t worry, I am 30 and the biggest chicken about doctors and dentists.

Q: Nasal Polyp Surgery?
My wife is having this nasal polyp surgery due to a chronic allergy infection and incredibly horrible allergies. She is scared because she has had surgery in the past due to a brain tumor. That surgery was succesful but she is very scared of surgery. Has anyone had this surgery? I think if she heard from people who actually had the surgery performed that maybe she would feel better.

A: Yes, I had surgery last October to remove two nasal polyps, along with a plethora of other things from my nose!
It was a very easy surgery. Naturally, there were the regular side affects when I woke up- I was drowsy and exhausted, but I was able to walk around just a few hurs after surgery. I really could not feel anything in my nose, except a slightly wet sensaton. I went home from the hospital wearing some smll blue stretchy thing that held a gauze under my nose just in case I bled anymore. It didn’t really get in my way, but I did have to change them every day.
I was back up and going about my daily routine abou five days later. I had three or four follow up appointments, where the ENT dr. examined thenose.
Overall, the most painful part was getting the gauze IN my nose removed at the first follow-up. I recommen taking some pain killers well in advance before going.
It really was not all that bad, and I wish your wife a speedy recovery!

Q: nasal polyp surgery stories?!?
im about to have nasal polyp surgery done soon with the endoscope. I would really enjoy having people tell me of their experiences with nasal polyps. and did they have to break your nose? and whats the worst part of nasal polyp surgery? did they come back? did you lose your sense of smell? i am so nervous!

A: I had my polyps removed last thursday, a week ago.
at 9-30am I entered the prep room for the anasthetic, within 2 minutes i was asleep.
The next thing i know is I am looking at the clock saying 2pm and have an oxygen mask over my face.
The first thing i wanted to do was to get the mask off, maybe thats just me, but the nurse said leave it on as it helps clot the blood.
Then about half an hour later i was a bit more with it and walked to the recovery room and sat in there for4 hours.
in that time i was made about 4 cups of tea and 2 glasses of water.
Three o clock comes and the nurse says i am going to give you some painkillers and then at four o clock we will be taking the packing out of your nose.
4pm comes and i walk to a cubicle and the packing comes out…….this bit was not nice. I lost about a pint of blood but the nurse was brilliant and calmed me. when they get pulled out it feels weird, like when you crunch a leather sofa in your hand…..but in your head and you have to pull your head against the nurse pulling the tampon out of your nose, i can say there wasnt any pain but the experience of the blood coming out was not nice.
6pm comes and off home i go.
i actually felt quite wide awake, but for the next 3 days i slept 3 hours and was awake 3 hours, you get a wipeout kind of feeling where your energy is just zapped.
had fish and chips on the fourth day………THE FIRST SMELL!WOW
this was my first smell and it was amazing, it really hit me then i could smell again, and taste.
from there my smell and taste was better day by day, but there is like a dog smell i could smell, but i was told it was the blood in my nose.
day 6,7 and 8 was a little uncomfortable as the clots wanted to come out and i snorted them down my throat and out my mouth, they come out black and make you gag.
there are no black eyes, i was told i looked ten years younger, maybe a little exxagerated but my face has changed for the better and i feel absolutely great, there are no words.
i am glad i had it done, the way i see it is if you can put up with 3 days of inconvenience and a little dizziness it worth it, or you could carry on feeling tired, no smell or taste and grumpy, which is what i was, my energy levels now are brilliant.
ADVICE: i put cold water in the fridge, really cold that helped alot and it also helps your complexion alot. carry on with it, and it helps with the blocked nose.
there is nothing to worry about, i worried like you but my god, i feel different, even driving……..it feels like a new car, i feel like a new me.
have it done you wont regret it.
take care

Q: Nasal polyp surgery?
Hey,
im 13, and discovered 1 month ago that I have a polyp in the left side of my nose. It was completely blocked. I have a cat scan tomorrow for a surgery… Also, the doctor found that the same polyp is also showing in the back of my throat. I need the surgery for my breathing, but one of ym worst fears is having a surgery and being unconcious. I’ve been really healthy for ym whole life, except allergies… My question is will the surgery hurt? How long will it be? and how can i deal with my fears??
also, i read polyps can be cancerous, is that true??

A: My best friend (who is 23) has had the same surgery. He said that the surgery itself is basically like time skips forward from the moment you go under to it already being over. They gave him the sleeping gas and had him count backwards from ten, and by the time he got to 8 he was asleep. It’s actually a pretty relaxed moment when they put you to sleep considering that you’re in an office and everything.

After the surgery, I think his nose was sore for several days. However, the post-surgery drugs they give you can be very effective at getting rid of pain. He said the worst part was just the fact that your nose is bleeding for a long time, so you constantly have tissues and bandages in your nose to stop that part. For the overall experience, he said it was annoying because it takes several days before you can get back to normal, but he had no real complaints about the pain or anything like that.

My guess is that it takes a week max for you to get back to regular you, but your breathing and smelling will be so much easier that it’s worth it. Obviously your doctor can give you the most accurate explanation, but this is the best I can do to explain what it’s like from a patient’s point of view.

Good luck and get better quick!
