Adenoids removal as an Adult

[cowboylover]

Wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

I have been having problems for years and finally saw a Dr who took me seriously and looked and apparently I have large adenoids which should not be there still now at my age and he wants to take then out.

Anyone else had this? I can see info on children but not adults.

I had mine out about six years ago: was well worth it, my nasal congestion eased hugely. Operation was a piece of cake; had very little pain afterwards and healed quickly.

I had mine out as a child in Spain - I was tied up in a sheet. Then the doctor sat me on a nurse's knee, gave me a local anaesthetic, screwed my mouth open, put a bowl in front of me and yanked the adenoids out. Quick and effective but unforgettable ... But, suddenly I could hear so much better!
After so many years of frequently feeling blocked up, I now use a nasal spray called 'flixonase' which has been fantastic - I hope it continues working as I feel so liberated.
Good luck with this problem!

Thanks for the reassurance. I will let you know how I get on.
Feeling better with only the little but removed after the biopsy so looking forward to it now.
