Could you please give me some advice on what might be going on?

How serious are nasal polyps and is surgery the only option to treat them? I'm worried about them coming back after surgery, can you suggest other treatments or ways to prevent recurrence?

Nasal polyps are generally not serious but can cause significant discomfort and breathing difficulties. While surgery can remove polyps, they often return, even after treatment. Fortunately, there are various treatment options and strategies to manage polyps and reduce the risk of recurrence
