Nasal Polyps

Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths that develop on the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses due to chronic inflammation. They are often associated with allergies, asthma, recurring infections, or immune disorders. Nasal polyps can vary in size and may cause nasal congestion, breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and frequent sinus infections.

How We Diagnose

Our specialists use advanced diagnostic methods to accurately identify and assess your condition

Nasal Endoscopy

A thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the nasal passages to visually confirm the presence of polyps.

Imaging Tests (CT Scan)

Provides detailed images of the sinuses to determine the size and location of polyps and assess sinus inflammation.

Allergy Testing

Identifies allergic triggers that may contribute to chronic nasal inflammation.

Cystic Fibrosis Testing

Recommended for children with nasal polyps to check for underlying genetic conditions.

Treatment Options

Personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and condition

1

Nasal Corticosteroid Sprays

Reduce inflammation and shrink polyps over time.

2

Oral or Injectable Corticosteroids

Used for severe symptoms when sprays are not effective.

3

Antihistamines

Help control allergies that can trigger polyp growth.

4

Antibiotics

Treat bacterial sinus infections associated with nasal polyps.

5

Prevention Tips

Avoid Inserting Objects in the Ear – Refrain from using cotton swabs, hairpins, or any objects that can push wax deeper.

Regular Ear Check-ups – Especially for individuals using hearing aids or prone to frequent wax buildup.

Use Earwax Softening Drops Periodically – Helps prevent hardening of earwax in people with recurrent impaction.

Keep Ears Dry – Prevents wax from clumping and reduces infection risk.

Manage Skin Conditions – Treat eczema, psoriasis, or other skin problems that can affect the ear canal.
