Polyp is a superfluous organism growing on the mucosal surface of human tissue, which is a kind of benign tumor, nasal polyp is a polyp growing inside the nose, which is a common disease of the nose, mostly seen in adults. Its symptoms are mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1, nasal congestion: unilateral onset, but also bilateral onset, patients show progressive, persistent nasal congestion symptoms. Mostly due to chronic inflammation or infection stimulation of nasal mucosa for a long time, resulting in congestion, swelling, venous stasis and increased exudation of nasal mucosa, thus causing nasal congestion.
2.Multiple snot: that is, the nasal secretion (snot) increases, also due to chronic inflammatory stimulation leading to increased exudate, especially when the patient is accompanied by obstructive inflammation of the sinuses, the secretion is mostly mucopurulent or purulent.
3.Sniffing disorder: When the polyp enlarges and causes blockage or the mucous membrane of the olfactory area can be damaged by chronic inflammatory stimulation, thus causing smell disorder.
4.Headache: When the polyp involves the sinus, it can cause headache and other symptoms.
5.Hearing loss: The nasal cavity is connected to the ear, if the polyp falls into the posterior nostril and blocks the pharyngeal orifice of the eustachian tube in the ear, it may cause hearing loss and other ear symptoms.
6, external nasal deformity: when patients suffer from bilateral nasal polyps or nasal polyps are too large, too much, can start external nasal deformity, such as both sides of the nasal dorsum becomes wide, dilated, etc., resembling the frog’s belly.
In summary, the symptoms of nasal polyps are mainly nasal congestion, more snot, smell impairment, headache and hearing loss.
