Adenoid Hypertrophy — enlarged adenoids.
In most cases this problem is well treated — the most important step is early diagnosis and proper approach.
Why it happens (simple explanation)
Main cause — frequent colds, flu, allergies and weak immunity. In children adenoids naturally grow and then shrink, but infections can cause them to stay enlarged.
How it is diagnosed
Evaluation is done step by step:
- ENT doctor examination
- Endoscopy of the back of the nose
- X-ray or CT scan of nose and throat
- Hearing test (audiometry) if needed
How it is treated
Treatment is chosen according to severity.
Conservative treatment
Nasal drops, anti-allergy medications, immune boosters and physiotherapy.
Surgical methods
If adenoids are very large and block breathing or affect hearing, adenoid removal surgery (adenoidectomy) is recommended.
