Nasal Polyps and their treatment | How Polypectomy is Performed? (Urdu/Hindi)

Nasal polyps are the outgrowths in our nose
Which can often grow large and block nasal passages
As a result, we have difficulty breathing.
The nasal cavity refers to the hollow space in our nose.
The lining of the nasal cavity is made up of mucosal cells, which secrete mucus
Due to which air gets moist while breathing
Besides this mucus also trap germ and dust particles
But some time due to allergy or infection, inflammation in mucosal lining occurs
And when this inflammation gets chronic, an outgrowth starts to appear in the mucosal lining
Which is termed nasal polyp
When polyps are small, there are usually no symptoms.
Because at that time they don't obstruct the airways
However, as they develop in size, they cause breathing difficulties.
Hence the treatment is needed
At first, the medications are given for the treatment of nasal polyps
Medications include steroids, which helps in the shrinkage of polyps
However, if they do not shrink with medicine or grow too big, surgery is performed.
The process of nasal polyps removal is called a polypectomy
The patient is first given general anesthesia.
After that surgeon insert tube in the nose with a camera and blade at the tip
And then surgeon removes the polyps while seeing through the camera
The removal of polyps allows the patient to breathe more easily once again.
