There is a small probability of inflammation and enlargement in the nasopharynx after biopsy.
Nasopharyngeal biopsy is a routine examination for suspected abnormal hyperplastic foci in the nasopharynx, which is mainly performed by clamping the suspected lesions in the nasopharynx, sending them for pathological examination and observing the pathological characteristics of the sent tissues to clarify the nature and type of pathology. During the process of biopsy, the suspicious tissues are often taken at multiple points in the nasopharynx or in depth, and the resulting trauma may have the chance of inflammation and swelling.
Usually, antibacterial drugs are used for a short period of time after the biopsy, so the inflammation and swelling caused by the biopsy is relatively rare, and bacterial or viral infections or aseptic reactive swelling in the trauma area may occur only when triggered by a decrease in the body’s resistance, mental stress, and undesirable physical and chemical factors.
When nasopharyngeal diseases require biopsy, you can actively seek the opinion of the doctor who performs the operation, fully understand the purpose and process of the operation, observe the changes in the condition and symptoms, and clarify the causes and main features of possible postoperative reactions, in order to actively cooperate with the treatment.
