Hello everyone , I am from India (My medical story) >>>>>>From my birth i was suffered from common cold ... and now i am 21 year old ... about 15 days ago i felt something came out from my nose .left part of my nose.. i was able to touch it . it was like a ballon at the top of my nose " It was a piece of flesh . i was able to move it ,press it " ... Imidiately i move to Homeopathic doctor. he told me its " nussle polyp"... after that i go to allopathic doctor and he told me same thing its polyp . and when i asked him about treatment he told me 90% surgery just 10% chances are with medicines ... i was afraid to heard about it ... finally i decided to go for homeopathic treatment .. he assured me he will cure me with in 3 months .. so i consumed homeopathic medicines .. it was ... Glycerine ( kinda sweet water mixed with medicines) . he asked me to put it in my nose .. and i am doing it . also he gave me some medicines to drink ..... when i drink these medicines usually make my nose dry ... and after 8 days of treatment my polyp start shrinking .....i guess its now half of its original size ... at start i was not able to inhale air from my left nose . but now i am able to inhale air(with snoring voice , appears that something is there in my nose , but i am not able to see it externally and its even hard to touch it . ) .. i met homeopathic doctor . he told me that now my polyp is not externally visible .medicines are working and polyp will be permanently cured with in 3-4 months of treatment . .. However i never go for any medical test like CTSCAM xray etc . Also i never feel any pain there except blockage<<<<<<< Now on the basic of above case i have few questions ::::as follows :::: 1 Based on above sympthoms is it polyp ... i mean is it confirmed that this is polyp and not any other dangerous disease.... is it possible that i have polyp only in my left nose not on right .. or it may be on both side and i am not able to view it .. 2nd .. Can homeopathic medicines permanently cure polyps ... or is it possible that polyp disappear automatically or donot give me any trouble in future ... 3rd. Does polyps disappear and come back ... as in treatment i felt number of times that sometime it appears there was no polyp ( i can breath easily ) while other time i was even able to touch it ,.. are the medicines working for me as the polyp size appears to be reduced. 4th .. Finally , can i live with polyps if medicines did not cure it ... ????????? i donot believe in surgical treatment at all ( my thoughts will never allow me to go for surgical treatment ) .... so i want to know can i live my normal life with polyps if i failed to cure them ,... Thanks Please reply as soon as possible Also when i put that medicine in my left part of nose .. it makes my nose very wet. and my nose releases lot of water .. what do you think he is giving me ... also once i had a drop (ya very little blood ) at my right nose (however polyp is at left nose ) ... can it be because medicines dried my nose or i just used clothe 10-20 times to clean my nose or touched inside nose number of times .,... Thanks Responses posted in-line --- > Hello everyone , I am from India > (My medical story) [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > that i have polyp only in my left nose not on right .. or it may be on > both side and i am not able to view it .. First, I am not a doctor. I have had problems with nasal polyps for years (since before you were born) and these responses are simply based on what I have experienced and learned over the years. Yes. You can have polyps on one side and not on the other. However, it is PROBABLE that you have many polyps, and you simply can't view them. Nasal polyps are like pigeons. They usually come in flocks! > 2nd .. Can homeopathic medicines permanently cure polyps ... or is it > possible that polyp disappear automatically or donot give me any > trouble in future ... Polyps do not go away. They grow and shrink, but they do not go away. As soon as you stop treating them to shrink them they will grow large again. In my experience, it is a losing battle. The only sure-fire treatment is surgery. Even after surgery you may grow new polyps. My current ENT says that using Singulair daily may actually inhibit new polyp growth. I can't confirm that yet. > 3rd. Does polyps disappear and come back ... as in treatment i felt > number of times that sometime it appears there was no polyp ( i can > breath easily ) while other time i was even able to touch it ,.. are > the medicines working for me as the polyp size appears to be reduced. They do not disappear and come back. They shrink, but they are still there! > 4th ..

You may be able to live with medications that shrink your polyps. I could not. Eventually the quantity of polyps is too great and even when you are treating them to shrink them they completely obstruct air flow. I think it is a most unpleasant existence when you cannot breath through your nose. I have had surgery twice. The first time was 20 years ago. The second was last fall. (It is not something you do often) It was a simple surgery and I was in and out of the hospital on the same day. I went back the doctors office a week later to have some packing removed. It took 5 minutes. There was no bruising, although some people look like they have a "black eye" after surgery, but it heals quickly. Now I can breath more freely than I have in many years and my sense of smell has returned. I agree with your homeopathic doctor. Chances are 90% with surgery. Just 10% with other treatment. By the way. Your "common cold" that you have had since birth is probably sinusitis. It could be caused by allergies. Allergies and polyps are a common combination. I hope you change your mind about surgery. India has excellent doctors. > Thanks > Please reply as soon as possible On 5/8/05 5:34 AM, in article BradnRd4uuKqmuPfRVn-tg@adelphia.com, "Moshup Trail" <moshuptrail@nospam.com> wrote: > The only sure-fire treatment is > surgery. Nasal polyps generally respond to medical treatment. At my groups we only occasionally do surgery for these. As suggestion . i gone through endoscopy ... doctor confirmed that multiple polyps at left ( upto nussle wall) ... and single polyp at right ..... doctor recommended me immidiate surgery ..I was told it will take less than hour for surgery and i will be out of hospital on the same day ... so i have few questions ...... btw sometimes i can easily take breath from my nose ... !st ... does endoscopy is enough to detect polyps leangth or does it need CTSCAN. 2nd .. yesterday after consuming medicines it releases blood . ( less than a drop ) and it made my nose very dry .. so that drop of blood is caused by these medicines ? 3rd. can nussle polyps effect throat . during endoscopy they put some medicine in my nose which directly gone to throat (right side small polyp side)..which directly gone to my throat itching me little . 4d. i was told that nussle polyps can effect brian and eyes if left untrested .. so there is no medicines alternative if nussle polyps are upto nussle wall .. and how much time i have .. how much months i can wait for surgery .... 5th. i was told that there are two kinds of surgery one is micro surgery other is ortho surgery(regular surgery ) ... which is the best surgery out of above two ... and whats basic difference between them ..... 6. is there any kind of laser surgery available for nussle polyps .......... Thanks >As suggestion . i gone through endoscopy ... doctor confirmed that >multiple polyps at left ( upto nussle wall) ... and single polyp at [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >surgery other is ortho surgery(regular surgery ) ... which is the best >surgery out of above two ... and whats basic difference between them >6. is there any kind of laser surgery available for nussle polyps I will comment on just 5. and 6. and leave the rest to others. (5.) It depends on what you mean. Surgery with an endoscope has pretty well replaced previous open-cut mthods. But some surgeons (very few) now do "small hole" surgery in which the drainage openings of the sinuses are only minimally enlarged. Most enlarge them bigger then that. That could be another possibel meaning of "micro" surgery. (6) It's not advisable.. |
