What are Nasal Polyps?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nasal polyps are common, fleshy, noncancerous, teardrop-shaped growths that form in the nose or sinuses. They are usually found around the area where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Matured polyps look like peeled grapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They are often linked to allergies or asthma. Small-size polyps are usually asymptomatic and usually don\u2019t require any treatment. Large-size polyps can cause various symptoms include, stuffy or blocked nose, sneezing, postnasal drip, runny nose, facial pain, etc. Large polyps can block normal drainage from the sinuses. If too much mucus builds up in the sinuses, they can become infected.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nasal Polyps Types<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There are two types of nasal polyps which include the Bilateral ethmoidal polyp, which arises from the Ethmoid sinus, and the Antrochoanal Polyp, which begins from the maxillary sinuses. They are unilateral and less common.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nasal Polyps Treatments Options<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nasal polyps treatment option depends on the severity of the condition and the size of the polyps. Before any treatment, the patient has to undergo a thorough diagnosis to determine the treatment accordingly. A healthcare provider usually suggests\u00a0nasal endoscopy, CT scans, allergy tests, blood tests,<\/span><\/strong> tissue cultures, etc, to determine the identify the best treatment option. Nasal polyp treatment generally focuses on reducing the size of polyps or eliminating them completely to provide the patient relief from associated breathing problems like sinusitis, asthma flare-up, etc. Generally, the first approach to treatment is medications. However, the patient may need surgical intervention if medical treatment does not work in shrinking the polyps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Surgical Nasal Polyps Treatment<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Endoscopic surgery is the most preferred surgical treatment for nasal polyps. During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts an endoscope (a small tube with a camera lens or magnifying glass) through the nasal passages and uses endoscopic instruments to remove the polyps and other nasal blockages. This improves airflow through the nasal and paranasal areas. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. Since no major cuts or incisions are performed during the surgery, the recovery process is usually very quick.<\/span><\/p>

The other surgical procedure for the removal of nasal polyps is polypectomy. The surgery is usually performed if the polyps are very large or the other treatment options fail to treat the condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The surgery is performed under the influence of local or general anesthesia. A long, thin tube with a video camera is inserted into the patient\u2019s nose and sinuses. Polyps are then cut out using micro-telescopes and surgical instruments. Sometimes, the surgeon may remove small pieces of bone from the nose to open up the nasal passageway.\u00a0 A doctor usually prescribes a\u00a0 corticosteroid nasal spray to help prevent recurrence. Sometimes doctor also recommends the use of saline rinse to help post-surgical healing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Preparation Before Nasal Polyps Surgery<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The exact recovery time after nasal polyp treatment depends on the severity of the condition, the size of the polyps, associated health conditions, the type of treatment, etc. With medical management, patients start noticing obvious improvement in their symptoms within 1-2 weeks. However, most patients are advised to take medicines for 4-6 weeks to prevent a recurrence.<\/span><\/p>

If endoscopic surgery is performed, the patient can start performing light activities and return to desk work within one week; however, exercising and strenuous activities have to be delayed until at least 2-3 weeks after the surgery. Complete recovery usually takes at least 4-6 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Non-surgical treatments for nasal polyps are as follows:<\/b><\/span><\/p>

      • Home remedies:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Home remedies are helpful if the symptoms of nasal polyps seem to be related to an allergic reaction. You must avoid the allergen that triggers the reaction. Tea tree oil and other remedies can help in some cases. Symptoms of congestion may be eased by using a steam bath. Vitamin D may help reduce symptoms, but only in a high therapeutic dose.<\/span><\/li>
      • Nasal corticosteroids: <\/span><\/strong>Spraying nasal steroids into the nose can help in reducing the runny nose and the sensation of blockage by shrinking the polyp. However, if you stop taking them, symptoms may quickly return. Examples of nasal steroids include fluticasone (Flonase, Veramyst), budesonide (Rhinocort), and mometasone (Nasonex).<\/span><\/li>
      • Oral and injectable corticosteroids: <\/span><\/strong>A doctor usually prescribes oral steroids for severe symptoms for a short period of time only. These also help reduce inflammation and shrink nasal growths, but long-term use can lead to side effects.<\/span><\/li>

        What Happens If Nasal Polyps Left Untreated?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        If nasal polyps are left untreated, they ca cause the following complications:<\/span><\/p>

        • In some severe cases, polyps can become so large that they can be seen simply by looking into the nose. If polyps are left untreated for an extended period, the constant pressure can cause the nose to widen and the space between the eyes to narrow.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
          • Polyps can occasionally grow out of control and cause damage to nearby structures, such as your eye or brain, if left untreated.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
            • Nasal polyps prevent patients from fully engaging in daily activities. Additionally, bleeding from polyps can be painful and, in rare instances, result in anemia.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
              • In some cases, polyps block the part of the nose that allows them to smell. Unfortunately, even after the polyps have been removed, the sense of smell may not return.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
                • If nasal polyps are left untreated, they can eventually block the nose.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
                  • They can make it difficult to breathe through your nose and may make sinus infections more common.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
