Small and adenoid hypertrophy

Patient's question:

Snoring while sleeping, seeking medical treatment at Jiaozuo University First Affiliated Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Under the condition that the adenoid does not affect breathing, it will not have an impact on brain development. If it compresses the airway and affects breathing, such as snoring at night or difficulty breathing, surgical treatment is recommended in such cases. If there is no impact on breathing, the surgery can be postponed for now, as the adenoid gradually shrinks after the age of 6, and no surgery will be needed at that time. However, if the condition worsens significantly in the meantime, surgery will be necessary.
