What Are Nasal Polyps?

Nasal polyps are benign, teardrop-shaped swellings that form due to chronic inflammation of the nasal or sinus lining. They are usually painless and may vary in size, often occurring in clusters within both nasal passages.

While small polyps may cause mild symptoms, larger ones can block airflow and lead to sinus infections or breathing problems.

causes

Nasal polyps are commonly associated with chronic inflammation in the nasal passages. Common causes and risk factors include:

  • Chronic sinusitis (sinus inflammation)
  • Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy)
  • Asthma
  • Aspirin sensitivity
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Recurrent respiratory infections
  • Fungal sinus infections
  • Genetic predisposition

Patients with nasal polyps may experience:

  • Persistent nasal congestion or blockage
  • Runny nose or postnasal drip
  • Reduced or lost sense of smell (anosmia)
  • Headache or facial pain
  • Snoring or breathing through the mouth
  • Frequent sinus infections
  • Pressure or fullness around the eyes or forehead

If these symptoms last for more than 10 days or keep recurring, a detailed ENT evaluation is recommended.

Medical diagnosis procedure

Diagnosis of Nasal Polyps

Diagnosis involves a detailed nasal examination and imaging tests to assess the extent and cause of the growths. Common diagnostic methods include:

  • Nasal Endoscopy: A thin flexible scope is inserted to visualize the nasal cavity and sinuses.
  • CT (Computed Tomography) Scan: Provides detailed images of sinus structures and extent of blockage.
  • Allergy Testing: Identifies underlying allergic triggers.
  • Nasal Smear or Biopsy (if required): To rule out other conditions if the growth appears atypical.

Treatment Options for Nasal Polyps

The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, shrink or remove the polyps, and prevent recurrence. Depending on the size and severity, the ENT specialist may recommend medical therapy or surgery.

1. Medical Treatment

For mild to moderate cases, medications are used to control inflammation and shrink the polyps:

  • Nasal corticosteroid sprays: Reduce inflammation and size of small polyps.
  • Oral corticosteroids: Prescribed for larger or resistant polyps.
  • Antihistamines: Control allergy-related inflammation.
  • Antibiotics: Used if sinus infection coexists.
  • Saline nasal rinses: Help clear mucus and allergens.

Medical therapy is often the first line of treatment, but large or recurrent polyps may require surgical intervention.

2. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS – Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)

If medications fail to provide relief, endoscopic sinus surgery is performed to remove nasal polyps and improve sinus drainage.

Procedure Overview:
  • Performed under general anesthesia.
  • A small nasal endoscope is inserted through the nostrils—no external incisions are made.
  • The surgeon removes the polyps and any inflamed sinus tissue using precision instruments.
  • Blocked sinus openings are widened for better airflow and drainage.

The procedure typically lasts 30–90 minutes, and most patients can go home the same day.

Procedure for Piles Laser Surgery

Laser piles surgery is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia. A focused laser beam is used to shrink or remove the swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser seals off blood vessels, which reduces bleeding, pain, and the risk of infection.
