Nasal Polyps
Polyps in the nose are called nasal polyps. They're very common. What exactly causes them isn't known, but they're associated with a few risk factors. These include infection, chronic inflammation, allergies, cystic fibrosis, and aspirin sensitivity. One in three patients with nasal polyps also has asthma.
Nasal polyps usually grow in the shape of a teardrop. Most of them are noncancerous, and doctors can usually tell these apart from cancer, though more extensive testing may be necessary. If they're small, you don’t need to have nasal polyps treated. They may grow larger, however, and may need to be removed.
Most nasal polyps are small and cause little trouble. Large polyps can cause obstruction, postnasal drip, loss of smell, facial pain, and fluid buildup in your nasal cavity. They can also sometimes be cancerous.
If your nasal polyps need to be treated, topical steroids are used, in which case both nose drops and sprays are available depending on the location of the polyps. For some, other steroids may be a better option. If polyps don't yield to steroids, surgery is the only option. The most effective surgery seems to be endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), though good results can be had with a traditional avulsion polypectomy. After surgery, you will need to use a nasal saline spray to keep the surgical area clean. more
