What are nasal polyps:

Nasal polyps are non-cancerous, soft, painless growths in the walls of the nasal chambers or sinuses and ethmoid sinuses.

Their formation is probably due to chronic inflammation, allergy, or endogenous rhinitis of the nasal mucosa and particularly of the mucous membranes of the ethmoid cells, but mainly to allergic or vasomotor rhinitis and in a few cases to household dust.

How they are created:

When increased interstitial fluid pressure and edema are induced, the glands of the nasal mucosa become distended resulting in occlusion of capillaries and superficial venules, interruption of blood flow, edema, distension of the substrate, and polyp formation.

Symptoms:

• Rhinorrhea (runny nose)
• Persistent blockage
• Postnasal discharge
• Decreased or absent sense of smell leading to
• Loss of sense of taste
• Sensation of pressure over forehead and face
• Itching around the eyes
• Facial pain or headache
• Pain in the upper teeth
• Snoring or rhinolalia
• Mucous or mucopurulent nasal discharge
