Hello, Yes one polyp can block your nasal passageway. My large polyp was
removed but they do have a tendency to return. Some sprays work to shrink
the polyp. Most times it is only temporary relief.
If the MD prescribed a steroid spray and you use it on a continuous basis, I
would suggest having a occular pressure test as some people are sensitive
enough to steroid sprays to raise the occular pressure to a dangerous level.
Wish you well.
Take Care.

Thank you, Can it be removed without putting me under. Can I just have a
local pain releif? Seems silly to knock me out for 1 polyp.. Thank you

Hello, Can't make a statement concerning your situation. From my experience,
no. The size, location and possibility of other problems usually negate a
local.
Take Care.

I doubt anyone would do that. Could have to be cutting near
dangerous areas. One false move...
