I had a polyp in one nostril and had surgery. This was years ago, in 2004. Before the surgery, I had headaches all the time and also had a lot of sinus infections and antibiotics were not effective. I did great with the surgery and was only out of work a couple of days. One of the side effects of sinus surgery is dry sinuses and boy are my sinuses dry! To manage it, I use a humidifier and Ayr nasal spray daily. Best wishes to you.
Thank you sooooo much for your reply, it has given me a lot of hope because my doctor said that if a polyp is one sided it could be cancerous. So I am just so nervous until my CT sinus scan on Monday and on the 27th I will have my results from my doctor.
I've never heard that if a polyp is one-sided it could be cancerous. In fact, my doctor never suggested that it could be and it was benign. It was definitely causing my headaches.
Thank you so much for your reply, Susan. Do you remember if the polyp was in one nostril only? This is a key answer. Polyps in both nostrils is normal but if it is only in one it could be malignant. I will appreciate your reply. Thank you again, tons and tons.
