Has anyone had nasal polyps removed before???

Depends on the severity of the polyps,  I have had the operation twice and the first time it did hurt, I was out of comission for about a month.  The second time I was more uncomfortable then in pain, I had the packin taken out the follwoing day and was back to work the following week.  Also, the surgery has changed dramatically since I had ti done the first time, now everything is microscopic with incisions that you will never notice.  Just remember to continually keep your nostrils moist, breath steam, Vicks at night helps sometimes too.  And drink lots of water.

While the people above gave great answers. So I won't repeat what was said.\n\nBut I just had surgery to remove this tumor one month ago. \nSo I did alot of searching for information about this kind of surgery.\n\nI found a website that is dedicated to this kind of tumor.\nIt is loaded with information, pictures, stories from others who are going through/been through this kind of surgery.\n\nThey have a forum where you can ask 100's of people, Questions you may have about before/during/after the operation.\n\nMy tumor was benign.(thank God) \nGood luck to you or whoever is going through this.

My daughter had this surgery and the results were totally amazing. Braces alone just couldn't have given her this amazing perfect smile. She had only her upper done and seriously she says it didn't really hurt. The jaw goes temporarily numb for a short time and by the time the feeling returns the jaw is healed. \n\nThe worse she said was the nose being stopped up and she couldn't blow her nose for 6 weeks because her sinuses were cut to do the surgery.  \n\nShe told me should would do it again in a heart beat that it wasn't bad at all. You can write me directly if you wish.

my daughter had nose bleeds more then 10 times a month.  this has been going on for a few years a doctor put her on nasonex and it worked for a while.  two weeks ago i took her to a specialist and he cauterized it.  said her blood vessel were not cover by any thing and just moving the wrong way would make it bleed.  has only had one bad one and that was the day she had it done.  had a few little ones the next few days after but has been good since.  if i were you i would get to the doctors. cuz my friends mom started doing it and they said she has hi blood pressure.

Oh dear, quite unfortunate.  Well, eating more will sort out the boney aspect, and big feet aren't a problem.  Rhinoplasty will fix the nose.  See, its mostly fixable.

i've had it done, but it was in Louisiana and it was 7 years ago.  I acted like a 2 year old but that is just me.  they don't want to give you any drugs because it makes you eyes move but now a days they have better technoligy to follow your eyes.  don't freak out when everything goes black like i did.  it's supposed to do that. they just didn't tell me.  it was WELL worth it.  ofcourse i had a great dr.good luck

You'll have to have 'em surgically removed, but it's really not such a big deal (having it done)!! My cousin had one removed from beside her nose, and you'd never even know it was there!\n\nShe said the only pain was from the needle they used to freeze, and that only took half a second!!\n\nBe brave now, and reap the rewards for the rest of your life!!

You could smash it yourself with a sledghammer then put a prefabricated mold of a straight nose tightly around your face for six to eight weeks and you might have a straight nose. of course that is do it yourself surgery. Just pony up and pay to have it fixed if it bothers you

If 4 years of medication & various doctors have not cured you of PND, then it is probably wise to seek surgery.\n\nDepending on your case, a polypectomy is relatively easy with little or no post-op complications (including your recovery from anaesthesia).\n\nIt is best that you go to a trusted ENT surgeon, talk to him/her about the pros and cons of the op, discuss the pre-op requirements as well as the post-op care before you decide on anything. Also, find out the success rate of that particular surgeon, as well as the success rate of the op in curing PND.

i've had it done three times.  first time was with a gun, hurt like hell, i don't recommend it, the hole wasn't clean it was more like torn through.  it never healed and i took it out 6 months later.  next two times were with a needle, again it hurt like hell but looked a LOT better as the hole was clean.  still never healed (turns out i'm allergic to the rings they put in) and took it out for good after 1 year.  i loved having it and really wish it would have healed as i would still have it if it had.  but it does hurt like hell.

I haven't had the surgery, but I'm a nurse that work for an ear, nose and throat doctor in surgery and have performed plenty of them. If done correctly, yeah, it should help with breathing and stuffiness....not allergy symptoms though. It's "involved", but not difficult. Usually takes an hour, give or take and you'll be a little black and blue for a week or so. Good Luck!

Sounds like you need a window operation done by an E. N. T doctor.  Was that the surgery you had?  If not, ask about it from a board certified ear, nose and throat doctor.  Also there is a new stealth technology that guides surgical instruments for potentially more accurate and effective sinus surgery.  See the article on the web about this new mapping system at the Medical college of Wisconsin surgeons at Froedtert Hospital.

Polyps should always be remove immediately. If they are left alone too long they can turn cancerous. This takes an average of ten years to happen and you want to make sure they are still benign when they are removed. It is hard to say, if the blood was polyp related or not. It could be hemorroids as well. But I would remove the polyps just  to make sure.

I never remember having that problem, but then if you have to blow your nose, you have to blow it regardless if you have a ring up there. I never took the ring out, so blowing my nose would generally get my whole nose clean. *shrug* I never took the post out to examine it after.

my husband had his out as a kid and he said it hurt like hell to talk and the first sip of fluid he took came out his nose. but after the pain is gone in about a week or two you are fine.
