Hello, i saw an ent specialist today who took a endoscopic view of my sinuses and noted a unilateral polyps. biopsy to come. should i be worried?

Unilateral polyp: Majority of polyps are benign. A unilateral polyp can be Inverting Papilloma which has the risk of becoming cancerous if not removed. Since your ENT is going to remove it, there is no need to worry!
