Figure 2. How a nasal polyp looks like.
SYMPTOMS OF NASAL POLYPS:
• Nasal congestion
• Anosmia (loss of sense of smell)
• Sinusitis
• Secondary infection which can lead to headaches
• Snoring may occur while sleeping
• Facial changes are not common, but can occur
• Nose bleeds
• Coryza (cold symptoms such as a runny nose)
As the symptoms of nasal polyps are similar in nature to a number of symptoms
associated with colds and influenza, persons with small polyps that are not visible
from the outside can mistake their condition with a 'cold or flu that never seems to
get better'. If you have a persistent blocked or runny nose, you should get yourself
checked for nasal polyps.
There are many factors that can trigger the growth of nasal polyps, however, in all
cases an irritation and subsequent inflammation of the nasal passage is involved (as
we shall see in the next chapter).
