FAQs About Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are small non-cancerous, harmless growths that occur on the lining of the nasal passage. They are associated with swelling and inflammation of the inside of the nose and sinuses which could last up to 12 weeks. While smaller ones may not cause any symptoms, larger ones could even block the nose.
Most experts do not know exactly what causes nasal polyps to form. However, some risk factors are more likely to cause nasal polyps. These include:
  • Chronic inflammation
  • chronic rhino sinusitis
  • asthma
  • allergies
  • immune disorders
  • infections
These can cause longer-term infection of the area, which could result in nasal polyps forming.

At DMV Allergy & Asthma, our team’s goal is the treat and manage your nasal polyps primarily by reducing inflammation. Additionally, we will aim to reduce your symptoms and reduce the size and presence of nasal polyps. Common treatments for nasal polyps include corticosteroids, nasal sprays, and could even include injections or surgical removal for severe cases.
