Symptoms of Nasal Polyps:
Stuffy or blocked nose is a frequent complaint (congestion).

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.
