Polyps

Nasal polyps are soft, painless growths that can form on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They often result from chronic inflammation due to conditions like allergies or asthma. If you have nasal polyps, you might experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell, or frequent infections. Most polyps are related to the same immune process that causes allergies, therefore it is imperative to treat underlying allergies with a combination of oral medications, lifestyle modifications, dietary modifications, intranasal medications, or immunotherapy. When conservative treatments like medication do not provide sufficient relief, surgical removal of the polyps might be necessary. Some patients may even benefit from biologics (injectable drug therapies that are derived from living organisms to treat inflammatory conditions including certain types of COPD and asthma, prurigo nodularis, Eosinophilic esophagitis).
