What causes enlarged adenoids?


My son is getting an x-ray tomorrow to determine if his adenoids are enlarged and whether he needs surgery. Is this condition genetic? What are some environmental reasons why children have enlarged adenoids? Cigarette smoke? Dust? Pets? He doesn't have allergies so that's not it. Any help?

im not sure but i had the surgery done a year ago and it only hurt a lil the day after, u wont be able to tlak for a while but, its worth it i can breathe thow my nose now
