Nasal polyp is a common disease in otorhinolaryngology, which is a proliferative tissue mass that grows on the mucosa of nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses and protrudes from the surface of nasal mucosa. Can be single or multiple, more common in maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, middle nasal meatus, middle turbinate and so on.

Harm of nasal polyps

Hazard 1: trigger a series of serious complications.

If nasal polyps are not treated in time, it will lead to the damage of throat, otitis media, bronchial asthma, sinusitis, hypertension, heart, lung and other organ functions.

A few giant polyps will crush and destroy the sinus wall or the top wall of nasal cavity, and then invade the orbit, frontal sinus, anterior cranial fossa, sphenoid sinus and middle cranial fossa, causing invasive complications.

Hazard 2: Affect patients' daily study, work and life.

If the child has nasal polyps, the excessive growth of nasal polyps will lead to the deformity of the external nose, the widening and enlargement of the bridge of the nose, and the appearance of "frog nose", which will affect the facial image and physical and mental health. In addition, nasal polyps can also affect breathing, and the development of growing children will also be affected. At the same time, it leads to children's inattention and poor memory, which will inevitably affect their study and eventually lead to a decline in their academic performance.

Adults with nasal polyps will have symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, insomnia, snoring, etc. They have no spirit and can't concentrate in daily life, which affects work efficiency, career development and future.
