How Nasal Polyps Affect Breathing and Sinus Health
Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths that develop in the lining of the nasal passages or sinus cavities. They are often associated with chronic sinus inflammation and can gradually obstruct normal airflow and drainage.
As nasal polyps enlarge, they may contribute to persistent congestion, reduced sense of smell, sinus pressure, and recurrent sinus infections. In some individuals, polyps can significantly interfere with breathing and sleep quality.
Identifying the underlying inflammatory cause is essential in developing an effective treatment plan.
