Sinus Polyps
All About Sinus Polyps
If breathing comfortably through your nose is becoming increasingly difficult, sinus polyps may be to blame.
Causes of Sinus Polyps
Sinus polyp growth can be triggered by chronic inflammation from several conditions. Most commonly, polyps are associated with:
- Chronic sinusitis or frequent sinus infections
- Allergic rhinitis
- Asthma
- Churg-Strauss syndrome
- Cystic fibrosis
- Sensitivity to aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Sinus Polyp Symptoms
While a sinus polyp itself does not cause pain, multiple sinus polyps can prompt a wide array of symptoms in addition to the discomfort associated with their underlying cause.
- Nasal congestion or runny nose
- A feeling that your nose is blocked
- Postnasal drip and related throat soreness
- Reduced sense of smell or taste
- Headaches or facial pain
- The need to breathe through your mouth
- Frequent nosebleeds
- Snoring
- Sleep apnea
