How are nasal polyps related to other nasal diseases?

Some diseases will cause other complications if you do not receive timely treatment, and nasal polyps are one of them. Some nasal diseases will slowly evolve into nasal polyps because you keep delaying the treatment and not receiving timely treatment. Therefore, do not underestimate these diseases. If you repeatedly delay the treatment, the consequences will be disastrous.

No matter how confident you are about your health, once you suffer from any nasal disease, the correct thing to do is to see a doctor as soon as possible and let the doctor prescribe medicine. Don't think that your body can recover on its own, which will lead to complications caused by the disease. Nasal polyps are often one of the complications of many nasal diseases.

The relationship between nasal polyps and allergic rhinitis

Patients with allergic rhinitis (allergic rhinitis) may develop nasal polyps if they suffer from repeated attacks over a long period of time. Even if the disease recurs frequently and irregularly, the allergic constitution can easily cause the nasal mucosa to become congested and edematous, and gradually develop into nasal polyps.

The relationship between nasal polyps and sinusitis

Due to the formation of nasal polyps, the nasal passages are blocked. Poor drainage can cause inflammation of the sinuses; or the inflammation and secretions of chronic sinusitis can cause the mucosa to become congested and edematous for a long time, thus producing nasal polyps. Due to the stimulation of chronic inflammation in the sinus cavity, congestion and edema occur, and polyps gradually form in the sinus cavity. Generally, polyps in the sinus cavity are accompanied by chronic inflammation, while simple polyps in the sinus cavity are caused by inflammation first and then polyps. If the polyp is external, such as the polyp in the nasal cavity, which crawls into the sinus cavity through the opening of the sinus cavity, thereby blocking the sinus cavity opening and hindering drainage, and then causing sinusitis, then the polyp comes first and then the inflammation.

The relationship between nasal polyps and chronic rhinitis

Because of long-term chronic and severe stimulation, our nasal mucosa and turbinate membranes are congested for a long time, resulting in edema and hypertrophy, which will cause polyps or turbinate polyp-like changes.

The relationship between nasal polyps and sense of smell

Because most nasal polyps come from the area above the middle turbinate, especially in the ethmoid sinus area, which is the olfactory area of ​​the nasal mucosa. In particular, the cribriform plate of the ethmoid sinus is an important part where the olfactory filaments pass through and enter the cranial ribs to connect with the olfactory nerves. If this area is compressed by polyps, it will inevitably affect the sense of smell. If the loss or delay of smell is short-lived, the sense of smell may be restored by removing the polyp and relieving the pressure on the olfactory area. But over time, even if the polyps are removed and the pressure is relieved, the sense of smell is difficult to restore.

Nasal polyps are a common nasal disease, which is usually caused by a habit of eating spicy food. This disease is often accompanied by persistent nasal congestion, loss of smell, increased nasal discharge, headache, dizziness, etc.

. However, the early symptoms of nasal polyps are not very obvious, so many patients will ignore them and only think about seeking diagnosis and treatment when they have difficulty breathing. If nasal polyps are not treated for a long time, they will eventually become a "heartache".

If nasal polyps are delayed in treatment, they will eventually become a "heartache" because nasal polyps are often not only limited to the nose, but can also invade the surrounding sinuses. Traditional nasal polyp snares and polyp forceps surgeries are difficult to completely remove due to the limited surgical field of view. They are prone to recurrence after surgery, and patients often need multiple surgeries, which adds a lot of pain and costs.

If the traditional treatment method for nasal polyps is not used correctly, it will cause many other complications, such as pharyngitis, otitis media, and damage to the heart, lungs and other functions. Some may even undergo malignant changes. Some large polyps may also cause invasive complications.

Those polyps that grow faster and are huge in size will squeeze and destroy the sinus wall or the roof of the nasal cavity; then invade the orbit, frontal sinus, anterior cranial fossa, sphenoid sinus and middle cranial fossa.

If nasal polyps are not treated properly or thoroughly, they are very likely to recur, especially ethmoid sinus polyps. Therefore, the fundamental measure to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of nasal polyps is to thoroughly treat sinusitis and remove obstructive lesions near the sinus openings.

Nasal polyps are growths that form on the lining of the nose or sinuses. It often occurs on the outer wall of the nasal cavity and the top of the nose. Nasal polyps are not true tumors, but are often the result of nasal mucosal edema caused by allergic reactions and chronic sinus inflammation.

Folk remedies for nasal polyps may delay the disease

Some patients' conditions not only did not improve after using folk remedies, but instead became worse and even caused nose bleeding. This may be because folk remedies may contain corrosive and irritating substances, which cause long-term stimulation of the nasal septum, scabbing at the perforation and erosion of the edges of the perforation, which can easily cause bleeding. Therefore, folk remedies not only fail to alleviate the disease but also increase the burden of treatment. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing folk remedies.

Principles of medication for nasal polyps

1. For untreated small polyps, hormone treatment can be used if there are no contraindications.

2. Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic treatments should be given after polyp removal to prevent recurrence of polyps.

Now, you know what the consequences will be if nasal diseases are not treated in time. Disease treatment must be timely, this statement will never be wrong. Misdiagnosis may cost lives, not to mention not accepting a diagnosis and not treating minor illnesses. It will be too late to regret when it develops into a serious illness. In addition, if you encounter a disease that you do not understand, do not prescribe medicine for yourself, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
