Has Chronic Sinusitis, Polyps Keep Growing Back. Cause?
Doctor my wife has chronic sinusitis problem for the last 26 years and has 6 sinus surgeries. The polyps keep growing back and we have tried many doctors and treatments. She is RH negative blood type and I'm positive, could this be a possible cause? We would appreciate your opinion. Thank You for what you do for people like us. God Bless roger

Hi,
I have gone through your description. Nasal polyps are known for recurrence in some patients. There are different types of polyps and only the surgeons who have treated your wife would be able to answer you the causes for multiple recurrences. As of your query regarding Rh blood type, that is not the reason for her recurrent polyposis.
