Nasal Polyps
Do you feel like you constantly have a cold? This might be due to noncancerous cysts/growths in your nose and sinuses—nasal polyps. Symptoms of nasal polyps include nasal congestion, smell loss, and recurrent sinus infections.
People with nasal polyps may also have other conditions, such as asthma, allergies , and aspirin sensitivity. Find out more at Kentuckiana ENT.
Symptoms of Nasal Polyps
Stuffy Nose
Nasal polyps block the nasal passages, leading to a stuffy nose. Asthma and allergies can also be present from inflammation spreading throughout the airway.
Smell Loss
When large groups of nasal polyps grow and block the nasal passages and smell nerves, it can lead to smell loss.
Recurrent Sinus Infections
Nasal polyps can block sinus passageways and lead to sinus infections, making the use of antibiotics and steroids necessary.
What are Nasal Polyps?
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths (or cysts) that line your nasal passages or sinuses. They are often caused by chronic inflammation and often occur as a result of asthma, recurrent infections, allergies, drug sensitivity, or certain immune disorders.
