Nasal Polyps Treatment in India

Neha Gupta, a 42-year-old accountant and mother of two, had struggled with chronic sinusitis for over a decade. Her background included a history of asthma and allergies. For the past two years, her symptoms escalated to a constant feeling of nasal blockage, a complete loss of smell and taste, and persistent facial pressure that made concentrating at work nearly impossible. Over-the-counter sprays provided no relief. Her ENT, Dr. Sharma, explained that large bilateral nasal polyps were the cause, obstructing her sinuses and olfactory cleft. He recommended endoscopic sinus surgery with polypectomy. The procedure itself, under general anesthesia, was smooth. The immediate post-op period was uncomfortable with nasal packing and congestion, but within a week, the packing was removed. The recovery outcome was transformative: her nasal breathing returned, and gradually, over a month, her sense of smell and taste came back. Emotionally, Neha went from feeling chronically fatigued and disconnected from the world (and even from enjoying meals with her family) to feeling re-engaged, energetic, and deeply grateful for the simple pleasure of breathing freely and smelling her children's hair.
