How to Treat Adenoid Hypertrophy in Adults

Adults with enlarged adenoids do not need special treatment if there are no obvious symptoms, but if it affects normal life, surgical removal of the adenoids is usually needed. For adults with enlarged adenoids, if the symptoms are not obvious, no treatment is needed for the time being, and regular checkups are sufficient. If adenoid hypertrophy causes snoring, nasal congestion or even breathing difficulties, surgical excision is usually required to remove the obstruction of the posterior nostrils and the functional abnormalities of the neighboring organs caused by the compression. Currently, surgery is mostly performed by endonasal plasma ablation of adenoids, which can be performed under direct vision and can completely remove the enlarged adenoids with relatively less bleeding, and assisted with antibiotics after the surgery in order to control the infection. Adenoid hypertrophy has a serious impact on daily life, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
