When is surgery performed for enlarged adenoids?

Adenoid is a structure that is found in every individual and can sometimes grow excessively due to certain diseases. Adenoid growth can cause various disorders starting from childhood. Problems such as voice tone change, snoring and difficulty breathing are observed in people with adenoid growth. Surgery provides the fastest solution to eliminate these problems. Adenoid surgery can be performed from the age of 2. However, in cases where serious respiratory problems occur (this is very rare), surgery can be performed even during infancy. The most suitable age for adenoid growth surgery is between the ages of 2-6. Apart from this, there is no discrimination that will prevent surgery for adults who experience adenoid growth problems at later ages.
