1. Causes of nasal polyps

1. Middle nasal meatus microenvironment theory

The microenvironment of the middle nasal meatus is narrow and uneven, and the inhaled airflow is easily turbulent here; the ciliary function is weakened and the ciliary activity is impaired; the blood flow of the middle nasal meatus mucosa is significantly reduced compared with other parts of the nose. The natural defense function of the middle nasal cavity is weakened, and the local area is susceptible to damage by harmful factors, creating conditions for the formation of nasal polyps.

2. Nasal allergy

A large number of mast cells, eosinophils and IgE-producing cells can be found in nasal polyp tissue, and the IgE level in the fluid is increased, suggesting that local allergy has a certain role.

3. Eosinophilic inflammation

Nearly 90% of nasal polyp tissues have a large number of eosinophil infiltrations, suggesting that nasal polyps are closely related to the increase of these cells.

4. Bacterial superantigen theory

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the common symbiotic bacteria in the nasal cavity. Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin can directly activate a large number of Th2 cells, B cells, eosinophils and mast cells in the nasal mucosa of the middle nasal meatus, causing them to synthesize and release a large number of proinflammatory cytokines, aggravating the local inflammatory response in the middle nasal meatus and promoting the formation of polyps.

2. Symptoms of nasal polyps

Nasal polyps are more common on both sides and less common on one side. A common symptom is persistent nasal congestion that worsens as the polyp grows in size. The nasal secretions increase, sometimes accompanied by sneezing. The secretions may be serous or mucous. If there is a concurrent sinus infection, the secretions may be purulent. Many people have olfactory impairment. People with severe nasal congestion speak with a nasal voice and snore during sleep. People with long polyp pedicles may feel something moving in their nasal cavity with breathing. Posterior nasal polyps can make it difficult to breathe through the nose. If the polyps block the opening of the Eustachian tube, it can cause tinnitus and hearing loss. Polyps block sinus drainage and can cause sinusitis, causing patients to experience pain and discomfort in the nasal dorsum, forehead, and cheeks.
