A nasal curette is a medical instrument used to scrape or remove tissue or debris from the nasal passages. It is commonly used in procedures such as nasal polyp removal or to collect samples for diagnostic testing.
The removal of a polyp is called a polypectomy. This procedure can be performed during a colonoscopy or other endoscopic procedures, where the polyp is excised for further examination. Polypectomies are commonly done to prevent the potential development of colorectal cancer.

The CPT code for the removal of a cervical polyp is typically 57500. This code is used for the excision of a cervical polyp and may include biopsy if performed at the same time. Always verify the specific code with the latest coding guidelines and payer requirements, as codes may vary based on the specifics of the procedure.
It is not advisable to attempt to pull out a nasal polyp yourself. Nasal polyps can be attached to the lining of the nasal passages and removing them improperly can lead to bleeding, infection, or further complications. If you suspect you have nasal polyps, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment options. They may recommend medications or, in some cases, surgical removal.
