Nasal Polyps Explained
Clinical Overview & Pathophysiology
Nasal polyps make breathing difficult. [Featured Snippet: Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous, teardrop-shaped growths on the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses, caused by chronic mucosal inflammation from allergies, asthma, or recurrent infections.] Shrinking them naturally restores airway function.
Key Clinical Facts & Indicators
- Constant Nasal Block: Sensation of structural blockage inside the nose, not relieved by blowing.
- Anosmia (Loss of Smell): Loss of smell occurs when polyps block airflow to the olfactory nerves.
- Chronic Snoring: Heavy snoring and mouth breathing due to restricted nasal airflow.
- Post-Nasal Drip: Persistent mucus dripping down the throat, causing a dry cough.
