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, also known as sinus polyps, 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:

These can cause longer-term infection of the area, which could result in nasal polyps forming.

At DMV Allergy & Asthma Center, our team is committed to helping you breathe easier by effectively treating and managing nasal polyps. Our primary approach focuses on reducing inflammation, shrinking the polyps, alleviating your symptoms, and preventing recurrence.

We offer a full range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs, including:

  • Corticosteroid Nasal Sprays: Often the first line of treatment, these sprays help reduce inflammation and decrease the size of polyps, improving airflow and sinus drainage.

  • Oral or Injectable Corticosteroids: For more severe cases, we may prescribe oral corticosteroids or injections to deliver stronger anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body.

  • Biologic Therapies: For patients with recurrent or severe nasal polyps, advanced biologic medications can help target the underlying inflammatory pathways and reduce polyp growth.

  • Surgical Intervention: In cases where medical treatments are not effective, minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery may be recommended to remove nasal polyps and improve sinus function.

  • Allergy and Asthma Management: Since allergies and asthma often contribute to nasal polyps, we also focus on managing these conditions to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of future polyp development.

Our board-certified allergists will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses both your symptoms and the underlying causes.
