April 24, 2025 is the World CRSWNP Awareness Day [rinosinusitis crónica con pólipos nasales].
The covered nose can be more than a complaint. It can make it difficult to sleep, comfortably breathe and even deactivate the senses of taste and smell. You may be dealing with symptoms of a cold or seasonal allergies, but sometimes these symptoms can be traced back to nasal polyps.
But what exactly are nasal polyps and how can you get rid of them? We have the information about this unpleasant disorder.
What are nasal polyps?
Nasal polyps are protubernances that are formed in the mucous membranes of the nostrils or nostrils in the form of tears or hanging grapes. This certainly doesn’t sound good, but the polyps do not cause pain and they cannot even see that they have them. Usually you cannot see that polyps only look into your nose unless you are great.
Nasal polyps are not tumors or cancer. They usually grow on both sides of the nasal cavity. If there are only polyps on one side of their nose, this could mean that they are actually cancer tumors, and they should ask their medical providers to examine this opportunity.
Who can develop nasal polyps?
About 4% of people in the United States have nasal polyps. Nasal polyps usually affect people who are between 40 and 70 years old and are more common in white people. While men have more nasal polyps, this disorder can be worse for women.
They also have nasal polyps between 25 and 30% of people with chronic rhinosinusitis (RSC), a swelling of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses, which can also take months or more due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due to inflammation due And a study shows that up to 2 out of 3 people with nasal polyps have asthma.
In addition to RSC and asthma, other medical disorders can also increase the risk of nasal polyps, including:
- Chronic sinus infections
- H -reling rineti
- Sensitivity to aspirin
- Cystic fibrosis
Genetic mutations and family history of inflammatory disorders such as asthma and allergies, which can also play an important role in their risk of nasal polyps.
As with many medical disorders, people with colors often experience worse clinical results of CSR with nasal polyps (also called CRSWNP) because they have nasal polyps) because they have less access to medical services. Even people who live in low communities with low incomes that CSR and nasal polyps have often experience a more serious disturbance, possibly because they are exposed to poorer air pollution, which could make the disorder worse.
How can you know if you have nasal polyps?
If nasal polyps are low, they may not notice any symptoms. But larger polyps can cause:
- The nose covered the nose drip
- Pressure pressure
- Gothic to grasp
- Headache
- Loss of taste and odor
- Nose bleeding
- snoring
If the polyps are large enough, it is possible for them to block the nasal routes, which could make breathing difficult and recurring sinusitis, sleep apnea and more frequent episodes of asthma.
Who should you communicate if you have nasal polyps?
In addition to your provider of Header Medical Care, there are several specialists who could treat with nasal polyps depending on the problem, including:
- Medical suppliers of Otolaryngology (ORL), also known as otolaryngologists who specialize in the treatment of nasal cladding.
- Rhinologists, otolaryngologists who specialize in nasal and sinus disorders.
- Allergists, medical providers who treat immune system disorders such as asthma.
- Paranasal breast surgeons, which can also include otolaryngologists or neurosurgeons.
How are nasal polyps diagnosed?
If you have more than 10 days or symptoms symptoms of nasal polyps or do not improve after treatments, you should advise yourself with your medical provider (HCP). You will carry out a physical examination that comprises the check in your nose and could carry out a nose endoscopy in order to carry out better inspection. An endoscopy is carried out with an endoscope, which is a small flexible probe with a light at an end that your medical provider sees in the sinuses in your nose.
A TC or an RM could be useful for your medical provider to have a more detailed picture of your nasal and sine caves. If the treatment of polyps does not work or the polyps worsen, their medical provider could also remove small samples from nose or sinus tissue to determine why.
What drugs are used to treat polyps?
Sometimes nasal polyps disappear alone, but are usually a chronic disorder. If you have serious symptoms that cause symptoms, they should be treated. Solutions washed with saline can be useful to remove allergens and irritating particles to delete the nostrils.
You can use treatment for treatment, including:
- Anti -allergic: Antihistamines and deposits do not reduce the size of the polyps, but are useful to control the symptoms and reduce the inflammation of the nose.
- Nose steroid or oral steroids: polyps to the armpits and are useful to relieve symptoms.
- Biopard: Injicable monoclonal antibodies such as duPilumab, mopolizumab and omalizumab, have an impact on certain molecules to combat inflammation and shrink polyps, which reduces the need for oral steroids or operations. They also reduce overload.
What operation could it be made for my nasal polyps?
Some people were able to undergo endoscopic operation of the paranasal sinuses. When a surgeon uses an endoscopic probe with connected light or camera to see the nostrils or the paranasal sinuses and remove the polyps with small tools.
The endoprosthesis could be placed during the operation, the topical steroids secreted in their nostrils. This can be useful to swim after the operation.
Even after the operation, they may still have to be washed with saline and nose steroids in order to reduce or eliminate the possibility that polyps will appear again. The likelihood that they will have nasal polyps again is very high, since in the following 18 months 4 out of 10 people have a repeat appearance.
People with nasal polyps often live and are not subjected to treatments, even if they have symptoms. In fact, one could see that a chronic cold that they believe that it will never disappear is actually caused by nasal polyps. However, if you search for help and diagnose polyps, the treatment can be useful for you to breathe better.
