What Cause And Treatment For Nasal Polyps?
I was in viet nam in 65-66. in the early 70 s, i started having nasal polyps. I have had them removed 7 times, and every time they came back within a yr. I still have them and have been advised by my pcp to see an ent about possibly having them removed again. Could I possibly have a claim with the Va?

better to use nasal steroids (topical sprays)
they r safe and have very few side effects on long term usage
at this age getting operated is not that advisable under general anaesthesia .
complete removal also causes recurrence
get a CT SCAN OF PNS be done and check for extent
