Trusting the examination and performing endoscopic surgery to remove bilateral nasal polyps at MEDLATEC General Hospital, the man breathed a sigh of relief because the condition of loss of smell and runny nose that had haunted him for a year was over.
Living with a stuffy nose for a year
For about a year now, patient D.QK (50 years old, Dien Bien ) has had a persistent stuffy nose, runny nose on both sides, and stuffiness when the weather changes or turns cold. In the past 6 months, Mr. K's stuffy nose has gotten worse, leading to loss of smell. The patient has been examined and treated in many places, although the condition has improved, it has not completely resolved and often recurs.
At MEDLATEC General Hospital, during the examination, the doctor discovered that Mr. K. had bilateral nasal polyps with chronic sinusitis. The doctor advised the patient to remove the bilateral nasal polyps to widen the sinus openings.

Trusting the team of experts, doctors and modern equipment, the patient decided to choose endoscopic surgery to remove bilateral nasal polyps at the Hospital.
The surgery went well, on the 4th day after surgery, the patient was discharged and was able to resume normal activities. After a follow-up visit 1 week later, the patient had completely regained his sense of smell, no more nasal congestion, and could breathe well through his nose.
Expressing his joy at being able to completely cure the disease that had been "persecuting" him for so long, Mr. K. shared, "I would like to send my sincere thanks to the doctors at MEDLATEC for helping me regain my sense of smell and ending the persistent stuffy nose and discomfort that seriously affected my daily life. In particular, the doctors here are very good, dedicated, enthusiastic in consulting, and provide quality service. I am extremely satisfied."
Nasal polyps: Benign disease but absolutely do not be subjective
Nasal polyps are benign growths that appear in the cavities or sinuses of the nose, occurring in about 20% of people with chronic sinusitis. When polyps are small, people may not know they are present in their nose until they experience sinus symptoms that affect their quality of life.
Nasal polyps are benign, but people need to monitor them regularly to prevent unwanted complications.
Some common symptoms of nasal polyps include nasal congestion, recurrent infections, decreased sense of smell and taste, sinus congestion, upper jaw pain, nosebleeds, snoring, etc.
Dr. Nguyen Phuong Dung - ENT specialist, MEDLATEC General Hospital said: "Although not life-threatening , if not treated thoroughly, this condition can deform the nasal cavity, cause sleep apnea and lead to other serious complications."
Nasal polyp treatment: Not difficult but must be done correctly to ensure effectiveness and thoroughness
Patients with nasal polyps may be prescribed medication, however, if medical treatment does not respond, the doctor will prescribe surgery.
Responding to people's concerns when surgery is indicated, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Dung shared: "Polypectomy is not a very complicated method, but it needs to be performed properly by an experienced doctor, ensuring thorough treatment and optimal results. Patients should go to reputable medical facilities with modern equipment for effective consultation and treatment."
Currently, in addition to patients receiving medical treatment, MEDLATEC General Hospital has successfully performed endoscopic surgery to remove nasal polyps and expand sinuses for many patients.
