What are Nasal Polyps?
Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses that are soft and painless. They dangle from the ceiling like teardrops or grapes. Chronic inflammation causes them, and they are linked to asthma, recurrent infection, allergies, medication sensitivity, and some immunological diseases.
It might be possible that nasal polyps don’t create any symptoms. Larger growths or clusters of nasal polyps can obstruct your nasal passages, causing breathing difficulties, a loss of smell, and recurrent infections.
Symptoms:
Nasal polyps are characterized by prolonged irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the lining of your nasal passages and sinuses (chronic sinusitis).
Chronic sinusitis can, however, occur without the presence of nasal polyps.
Because nasal polyps are soft and lack feeling, you may be unaware that you have them if they’re tiny. Multiple growths or a big polyp might obstruct your sinuses and nasal passageways.
The following are some of the most common indications and symptoms of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps:
