FESS surgery - #17620
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with constant nasal congestion, facial pressure, and headaches. At first, I thought it was just seasonal allergies, but then I started noticing that my sense of smell was getting weaker, and my nose felt blocked all the time, even when I wasn’t sick. Some days, I wake up with a headache and feel exhausted, as if I didn’t sleep well. I finally went to an ENT specialist, and after some scans, they told me I have chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. The doctor recommended FESS surgery (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) to clear my sinuses and improve drainage. They said it’s a minimally invasive procedure, but I’m really nervous about undergoing surgery. I want to know if there are natural ways to manage this before making a decision. That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda. Can Ayurveda help with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, possibly avoiding the need for FESS surgery? Are there Ayurvedic treatments, herbs, or therapies that can help open up the sinuses and reduce inflammation naturally? I’ve heard about Nasya therapy and steam inhalation with medicinal herbs—do these actually work for long-term relief? Also, I’ve noticed that my sinus issues get worse after eating certain foods, especially dairy and fried foods. Could my diet be making my sinus problems worse? Does Ayurveda recommend specific dietary changes to reduce sinus inflammation? If anyone has managed to avoid FESS surgery using Ayurveda, what worked for you? How long did it take to see improvement? I really want to explore all natural options before considering surgery, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
