Usually, it takes 1 week for symptoms to disappear after nasal polyp surgery and 1-3 months for the incision to fully recover.
Nasal polyps can cause nasal congestion, runny nose, bleeding, and may even lead to malignancy, and usually require surgical removal for treatment; conservative treatment may not be effective. After nasal polyp surgery, patients may experience swelling in the operated area, and nasal congestion symptoms will not disappear immediately after surgery. However, it takes 1-3 months for the complete recovery of the operated area, and if the operated area is adjacent to the skull base, orbit and other parts, the recovery time may be extended accordingly.
Nasal polyp surgery is generally a lumpectomy with small incisions and fast recovery for patients, but the nasal cavity is a special structure and requires better postoperative care, and specific treatment should be carried out according to medical advice. After surgery, patients need to regularly review and clean up nasal secretions to avoid recurrence of polyps.
