How do doctors decide when to remove nasal polyps, and how much does it cost?
Thank you for your enquiry. Nasal polyps are usually benign inflammatory growths from the lining of the nasal cavity and sinuses. The cause is largely unknown although chronic sinus infection, allergies, disorder of the immune system and genetic factors have been implicated.
How are colon polyps treated?
Polyps in the colon can be broadly classified as pre-cancerous polyps or polyps without cancer potential. The polyps are seen during colonoscopy. Your endoscopist will look at the polyp and magnify the scope to visualise the surface characteristics of the polyp. If all the features are consistent with a polyp which has no cancer potential, it can be left alone. If the polyp looks like a pre-cancerous polyp, your endoscopist will remove it whenever possible. If your endoscopist is unsure, the polyp is removed for confirmation.
