Nasal Polyp

Nasal Polyps grow in inflamed tissue of the nasal mucosa. The mucosa is a very wet layer that helps protect the inside of your nose and sinuses and humidifies the air you breathe. During an infection or allergy-induced irritation, the nasal mucosa becomes swollen and red, and it may produce fluid that drips out. With prolonged irritation, the mucosa may form a polyp. A polyp is a round growth (like a small cyst) that can block nasal passages.

Although some people can develop polyps with no previous nasal problems, there’s often a trigger for developing polyps. These triggers include:

• chronic or recurring sinus infections
• asthma
• allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
• cystic fibrosis
• Churg-Strauss syndrome
• sensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
