Have you ever touched the inside of your nose while cleaning it and felt small growths.inside your nostrils?

Nasal Polyps are soft, painless, and benign growths on the inside layer of the nasal passage (mucosa) or sinuses. The mucosa is a wet layer inside your nose that protects the inner part of your nose from sinuses and moistens the air we breathe. When suffering from nasal infection or allergies, the mucosa becomes swollen and reddish. It also starts producing fluids that drip down your nose. If the condition continues to persist, then the mucosa turns into Polyp.

Patients suffering from the mentioned diseases are more prone to Nasal Polyps:

• Regular Sinus Infections
• Rhinitis Allergies

This disease is also inherited genetically due to the way mucosa reacts to inflammation.
