What are Nasal Polyps?
Nasal Polyps are soft (jelly like), non-cancerous (benign) growths
that consist of inflamed nasal mucosa and develop on the lining of
your nose or sinuses. They grow either singly or in clusters and
grow from the paranasal sinuses causing a blockage in the nasal
airways which creates difficulties breathing. They may be yellow,
grey, or pink in color and can vary greatly in size.
Nasal Polyps are not a disease, but the result of inflammation in
your nose or sinuses. The inflammation allows fluid to build up in
the cells of your nose and sinuses. Over time, as gravity pulls on
these fluid-filled cells, they can develop into Nasal Polyps.
Inflammation that causes nasal mucosa to collect in these polyps
can be likened to a stagnant pond, which increases your chances of
having Sinusitis.
Nasal Polyps grow around the edges of the nose or your sinus
cavities. Polyps do not usually cause any problems when they are
small, but an inflammation in the sinuses from an allergy or a
viral or bacterial infection, can make the polyps grow faster.
When your Nasal Polyps block the ostium (sinus openings), all the
excess mucus drips down the back of your throat creating Post
Nasal Drip, which may cause you to start snoring. You may also
experience some headaches, interfered breathing leading to a
diminished sense of smell, and as the polyps increase in size, the
shape of your face may slowly start to change.
What are the causes of
Nasal Polyps?
Nasal Polyps result from chronic inflammation in the lining of
your nose or sinuses. The causes of Nasal Polyps are however not
fully known or understood, but here are some of the triggers that
may cause Nasal Polyps to grow:
-
Viral infections
-
Bacterial infections
-
Allergies
-
Fungus
-
Chronic inflammation
-
Asthma
-
Chronic sinus infections
-
Hayfever
-
Sinusitis
-
A sinus infection
Treatment
Corticosteroids / Nasal sprays
Nasal sprays and drops that contain corticosteroids which can
shrink Nasal Polyps in some cases, but can only be used as a short
course because of the side effects. And steroids may damage your
nasal passages.
Surgical removal
Re-growth of Nasal Polyps occur in around 50% of people who have
had them surgical removed.
Sinus-Pro remedies
The recurrence of polyps is high when someone has had them
surgically removed. Sinus-Pro remedies will help repair the mucous
membranes and treat the underlining cause of your Nasal Polyps.
This process not only reduces the size of the Nasal Polyps but
decrease the chance of Nasal Polyps recurring.
