Nasal Polyps Treatment Cost in India

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, and not malignant growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They resemble small water drops or grapes. They result from chronic inflammation and are associated with asthma, recurring infections, allergies, drug sensitivity, or certain autoimmune disorders.

In several cases, these polyps go undiagnosed as they do not cause any discomfort. However, if left untreated, they can cause complications like a decreased sense of taste and loss of smell. Larger growths or groups of nasal polyps may affect your airways and obstruct airflow. 

Nasal polyps are more common in adults but can affect anyone. Medications may shrink or eliminate the polyps. But, in some cases, surgery is needed to remove them altogether. Polyps can often come back even after successful treatment.

Several factors influence the final cost of nasal polyps surgery including:

• The severity of the condition

The cost of surgery is affected by the severity of the condition. While minor cases often involve less treatment cost, more complicated cases may require a more significant process.

• Hospital choice

Hospital charges vary based on the amenities and services they offer. Private hospitals generally charge more compared to government hospitals. 

• Surgeon’s experience 

A more experienced surgeon usually charges more than a less experienced one, which can affect the overall surgery cost.

• The additional cost of complications, if there are any. 

A procedure may become more expensive when complications arise and force the surgeon to change or extend the procedure.

• Cost of diagnostic tests 

The surgeon often recommends diagnostic tests to diagnose the patient’s condition. These tests also increase the total cost of the surgery. The cost of some diagnostic tests is as follows:

1. Nasal endoscopy: Rs. 1500 – Rs 2000
2. X-Ray: Rs. 250- Rs. 500
3. Image Testing CT Scan: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 3500
4. Test for cystic fibrosis: Rs. 300 – Rs. 500
5. Blood Tests: INR 100 to INR 300
