Patient's question:
The people around me with adenoid hypertrophy have all had surgery. My husband was recently also diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy. He is quite afraid of having surgery. Knowing he has to have surgery makes him very upset. I don't want him to be like this either. So I would like to ask, is surgery absolutely necessary for adenoid hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy. It doesn't necessarily require surgery. It still depends on the patient's current specific symptoms. If the degree of enlargement is severe and the patient experiences breathing difficulties or other symptoms, surgical treatment is the only option. Otherwise, it can easily lead to hypoxia and may cause certain abnormalities in the brain. However, if there are no such specific symptoms and the patient's condition is not apparent, surgery is not necessary.
