About Nasal Polyps in Bengaluru
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths that develop on the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses as a result of chronic inflammation. They typically appear as teardrop-shaped growths and, when small, may cause no noticeable symptoms, but larger or multiple polyps can obstruct the nasal airway and impair drainage of the sinuses. They are strongly associated with chronic inflammatory conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and chronic sinusitis, and tend to recur even after treatment if the underlying inflammation is not controlled. Nasal polyps are more common in adults and are rare in young children, where their presence may prompt evaluation for cystic fibrosis.
