an Adenoid Gland?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The literal meaning of \u201cadenoid\u201d is glandular or gland-like. Anatomically, adenoids are two glands or lymphatic aggregates at the back of the nasal cavity. This area is also referred to as the upper airway or the nasopharynx.\u00a0 Nasal adenoids are part of the body\u2019s lymphatic system and have an important role in defense against infections in the area. Adenoids start to decrease in size from age five and eventually regress completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nasal adenoids augment the immune system during early childhood. These versatile glands reach full size by age five and start to shrink after that. These glands are not present in adult humans. The adenoids are a part of the Waldeyer\u2019s Ring along with the tonsils. It is a group of lymphatic tissues that traps harmful pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.) and prevents infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Adenoid_Glands_Enlarge\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Do Adenoid Glands Enlarge?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of the normal adenoid glands is approximately 6.2 mm. They can increase in size up to 11.6 mm due to multiple reasons.

It is the surgical removal of the adenoid glands in children aged 1 &#8211; 7 years. An adenoidectomy is one of the most common procedures during childhood. It is performed under general anesthesia, and the child can not eat or drink before the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An adenoidectomy approach is through the mouth; therefore, there are no incisions on the outside. At times, both adenoids and tonsils are removed during the surgery if deemed necessary by the surgeon. It is a short and straightforward surgery that takes approximately half an hour from start to finish. An adenoidectomy is a relatively safe and well-tolerated surgery. However, rarely, there may be some risk for side effects such as discomfort, infection, changes in voice, reactions to anesthesia, and excessive bleeding (very rare).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Avoid_an_Adenoid_Enlargement\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Avoid an Adenoid Enlargement?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some steps can help avoid any future adenoid enlargements.
