For the treatment of nasal polyps, folk remedies are not advisable. Nasal polyps are a nasal disease that many people suffer from. Experts from the Good News ENT Specialty Hospital warn that one should be extremely cautious about using folk remedies to treat nasal polyps, and it is not recommended to randomly use these remedies as it might lead to regrettable consequences.

Folk remedies for nasal polyps may delay treatment.

For folk remedies for nasal polyps circulating in Chinese rural areas, they should be scientifically analyzed and strictly screened. All folk remedies have certain indications. Using them appropriately according to symptoms can indeed yield effects. However, if used indiscriminately without proper analysis, it could lead to unexpected results. Patients with nasal polyps should seek standardized treatment at professional hospitals and must not blindly believe in the miraculous effects of folk remedies.

Some patients after using folk remedies not only fail to improve their condition but also worsen it, and may even experience nosebleeds. This might be due to the presence of corrosive and irritating substances in the folk remedy drugs, which can cause long-term irritation of the nasal septum, leading to crusting at the perforation site and erosion at the edges of the perforation, causing bleeding. Therefore, choosing folk remedies can not only fail to alleviate the illness but also increase the burden of treatment, so one must be very careful when selecting folk remedies.

Recommended Treatment: Minimally Invasive Removal under Nasal Endoscopy

With the rapid development of medicine, a new therapy - minimally invasive removal of nasal polyps - has been applied to the treatment of nasal polyps. The Good News ENT Specialty Hospital uses this therapy, which has greatly reduced the recurrence rate of nasal polyps, receiving consistent praise from patients.

One Clear: Clear surgical field

The nasal endoscope can magnify diseased tissues 200 times, allowing doctors to see the lesion clearly. A clear view makes the surgery more precise, transforming traditional destructive surgeries into protective surgeries while completely clearing the lesions.

Two Removes: First, remove the root of the nasal polyps; second, treat the concurrent nasal diseases that induce polyps.

The Medtronic powered grinding system in the United States grinds quickly, reaching the lesion directly. It can grind away and clear the polyps simultaneously, achieving the purpose of thoroughly treating nasal polyps, showing significant effects on multiple or recurrent nasal polyps.

Three Follow-ups: Post-surgery follow-up at the hospital

Patients who undergo nasal polyp surgery need to regularly revisit the hospital. If necessary, the surgical cavity should be cleaned, removing newly grown granulation tissue or cysts to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery.

The "one clear, two removes, three follow-ups" method for treating nasal polyps has the advantages of minimal trauma, less pain during and after the operation, preserving the normal physiological function of the nasal cavity, good results, and low recurrence rates.
