Sinusitis and nasal polyps interact with each other and aggravate the condition Sinusitis can be divided into two main categories, one is sinusitis with nasal polyps and the other is sinusitis without nasal polyps. Repeated colds, as well as long-term chronic inflammation, may stimulate the nasal mucosa to secrete more purulent secretions, (is usually blocked in the nose yellow snot), in the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors, the nasal mucosa repeated edema, slowly grew polyps. The increase in the size of the polyp will obstruct the ventilation of the nose, resulting in the secretion at the sinus cannot flow out, aggravating sinusitis. The two diseases are the cause and effect of each other, the vicious circle, sinusitis is getting heavier.
The nasal polyp is not a tumor, but it does not contain tumor tissue, but the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation or allergies, so that the nasal mucosa occurs irreversible edema, and finally the formation of polyps, but polyps do not occur cancer.
If treatment is delayed, nasal polyps can cause a series of damages to the human body. Although nasal polyps themselves do not affect the mind, but because nasal polyps will block the opening of the sinuses, the “junction” is blocked, it will cause a lack of oxygen, and over time will cause the brain oxygen supply is insufficient, memory loss. Those fast-growing, large polyps can also compress the sinus wall or the parietal wall of the nasal cavity, causing swelling and discomfort in the eyes, forehead and cheeks. Severe nasal congestion can cause patients to snore or even apnea during sleep, which is often referred to as respiratory sleep apnea syndrome, and its harm to human body is very far-reaching. If the posterior nostril polyp blocks the eustachian tube, it can also cause tinnitus and hearing loss, etc. Therefore, patients should face the danger of nasal polyps, to early detection and early treatment, so as not to delay the disease.
