Specializes in Internal Medicine

You should be seen by an ear nose and throat doctor to determine the size of the polyps and the best treatment. Sometimes, medicine such as a steroid nasal spray can help shrink them, depending on size and location. Treatment would also depend on your symptoms and whether it is associated with asthma. So, see ENT! Good luck to you!

Agree with Dr. Ferranti. Even if the polyps need to be removed surgically, the procedure would not be painful, as you would receive appropriate anesthesia. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
