Another potential cause is known as Allergic Fungal Sinutisis. When you have this ailment, it means that you are allergic to fungi. It is this fungus which is responsible for triggering chronic inflammation and ultimately nasal polyps. The growth of nasal polyps is also associated with cystic fibrosis. This is a disorder which is genetic and comes about as a result of chromosome mutation. It has been found out that people who suffer from cystic fibroses tend to have problems with nasal polyps. The growth can also be set off by the Human Papilloma Virus. This is responsible for the development of a particular kind of nasal polyp commonly referred to as the inverted papilloma. This type of polyp normally develops on one side only. However, if left unattended to, it might trigger other problems as well. As far as fungal elements are concerned, they are also believed to trigger inflammation. These fungi are normally present in mucus and it is believed that their presence might have something to do with the development of nasal polyps. Although the factors and triggers of nasal polyps are many, they all lead to irritation and subsequent inflammation of the nasal linings. Inflammation is required for nasal polyps growth to occur. 13
