Due to the fact that the process of formation of polyps may be delayed for several years, the beginning of the formation of polyps is practically impossible to determine. Usually people at first do not notice or most often simply do not give the meanings to these small malaise, which can manifest themselves in the form of a small nasal congestion or light rhino. For medical assistance they are addressed only when manifestations become impossible.
MirSets would like to note that men usually suffer from polyps about three times more often than women. Therefore, mostly they begin to complain when such complications of the disease appear as blocking breathing through the nose, inflammation in the bronchopulmonary system and purulent inflammation.
Causes
In the polyps, the nasal congestion often does not disappear even after using sprays and nasal droplets. In general, the nasal breathing is almost completely blocked, the person breathes mainly through the mouth. At the same time, a person is partially or completely lost the smell. There are also possible violations of taste sensations, because of which the food begins to seem like a person like cotton and devoid of any fragrance.
Because of the polyps formed in the nose, a favorable environment is created, in which various pathogenic bacteria are able to multiply. As a result of these bacteria from the nose, purulent and mucous allocations are usually beginning to appear. At the same time, a person is often tormented by frequent Colds. Some people with polyps may seem that there is a foreign body in their nose. In addition, many people with polyps complain of headache and pain in the field of nasal sinuses.
Anyone who has a similar problem has, should visit the ENT doctor. A qualified doctor can detect polyps even with normal look. To clarify the diagnosis, the doctor may assign a computed tomography of the sinus. This will make it possible to find out what the volume of polyps distribution, their number and their exact location.
Treatment
Treatment of polyps nose in the first stage is usually conservative. During this treatment, you need to minimize all the factors that can provoke the growth of the mucous membrane. In particular, you need to exclude any allergens and infections. In addition, medications are prescribed to the patient, which can eliminate infectious diseases and inflammation in the nose.
The conservative method of treatment of polyps usually implies the use of steroid drugs. These drugs are, in particular, the nasal sprays that have anti-inflammatory properties. If there are no positive results, then the doctor may prescribe a patient with corticosteroids orally. However, such pills are rarely appointed for a short time, because they have side effects and have a rather wide circle of contraindications.
In the event that no conservative treatment of the patient helps, resort to various kinds of surgery. Today, the most popular are the three methods of solving this problem. One of these methods is the removal of polyps with a loop. Loop, in fact, is a tool with which education is captured and quickly burst. Of course, the process is somewhat unpleasant and quite painful. In addition, it happens that he is also complicated by bleeding. Because of what some patients walk with cotton swabs in the nose. It should also be noted that at the same time the method is not only a polyp, but also a piece of healthy nasal mucosa, which when inflammation only exacerbates the situation. In addition, with this method, you can remove only the nearest polyps that are visible to the naked eye. Polyps that are located deeper, this tool is no longer removed. For this reason, the polyps grow soon again. As a result, the procedure has to be carried out at least 1-2 times in one year. Removal of polyps with the help of loops is a long outdated method, but, nevertheless, it is often used even today.
A much more modern method for removing polyps is the evaporation of polyps with a laser. At the same time, the doctor acts on a polyp using light energy, which leads to the fact that liquid is evaporated from formations, and they are reduced as a result in size. At the same time, on the spot where the polyp was, there remains a lunned shell, which can be easily eliminated. This method of removal of polyps. First of all, it should be noted that in time the procedure does not take more than twenty minutes. At the same time it is almost painless and bloodless. As for the shortcomings, the two factors can be distinguished here. First of all, the disadvantage is that it is possible to influence the laser only on one polyp and then a small size. In addition, laser rays can not remove polyps from the sinuses of the nose. They, of course, dry, but still remain, because of which relapses are possible.
Perhaps the most effective method for removing polyps is endoscopic endonazal surgery. This method is not only effective, but also gentle. With this procedure, the doctor requires an endoscope to obtain pictures and projection on the screen. On the monitor, the doctor will be able to see all the polyps and can carefully remove them using Shawra. This tool is equipped with a sharp nozzle, which effectively and very carefully removes the polyps. In this case, the healthy part of the mucous membrane will not be. After the procedure, the patient must be held in the hospital. After that, subject to the prophylaxis rules of various infectious diseases, the polyps will no longer disturb.
After the operation, it is necessary to specially care for the cavity of the nose. And it's best if this will first hold a doctor. During care, the nose is usually washed with special solutions. At the same time, crusts are removed, which is necessary for normal reduction of the mucous. If the patient has no time for the daily visit of the doctor, these procedures can be done on their own. Usually enough fringe and syringe for this. It is best to use drugs that are created on the basis of seawater. Or you can buy ready-made saline solutions in a pharmacy. In general, after surgery, you need to regularly visit the otolaryngologist, in order not to miss a new increase in polyps. In addition, you need to follow my immunity.
