If you have the symptoms mentioned above, Mr Adeel will help diagnose nasal polyps and find the most suitable treatment for you

Diagnosis

Patients can look forward to a relaxing consultation environment that allows open and frank discussions about their symptoms. They can come along with a friend or family member if they wish.
Detailed History and examination. You will also need a nasal endoscopy. This is a long, thin tube, like a camera, that is put in your nose to help confirm the presence and location of the polyps.
Imaging tests (optional): We can recommend CT scans, especially if we are planning for surgery.

Treatment Options:
Medications
Antibiotics
Surgery: If medicines don't work or the polyps are large, surgical removal is another choice. Mr Adeel will carry out this procedure as a day-case under general anaesthetics using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery to remove the polyps with minimum pain and quick recovery.
