Nasal polyps, which are benign redundant organisms formed by extreme edema of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and sinuses, protrude into the nasal cavity and form single or multiple polyps in the middle nasal passage as clinical features.
Nasal polyps are often accompanied by chronic sinusitis, nasal polyp symptoms, often similar to chronic sinusitis. Nasal flow, if the nasal polyps are large, they may not show the symptoms of runny nose, progressive nasal blockage, and gradually worsen, loss of sense of smell, accompanied by headache. Due to the presence of nasal polyps, the eustachian tube is blocked, causing tinnitus, ear blockage and stuffiness. Due to nasal blockage, it can lead to snoring at night while sleeping. In severe cases of nasal congestion, an occlusive nasal sound appears in speech. With polyps in the posterior nostril, expiratory dyspnea may occur. In patients with nasal polyps, bronchial asthma may also occur in association. Rhinoscopic examination of nasal polyps can be seen bilaterally or unilaterally in the nasal cavity with smooth surface, soft texture, grayish white, such as fresh lychee flesh-like translucent new organisms, which do not bleed easily when touched. Small polyps can move, while the base is not easy to move. Huge nasal polyps can be seen in the external nose into a “frog nose”.
In addition to chronic sinusitis, nasal congestion is progressively aggravated, and nasal polyps should be considered. It is necessary to go to the otolaryngology department for a clear diagnosis and standardized treatment.
