What are the dangers of nasal polyps

Nasal polyps are a very common disease in daily life. Genetic factors, immune deficiency, and ciliary dysfunction are all predisposing factors for nasal polyps. If not treated in time, it will lead to secretory otitis media, affect the patient's quality of life, and cause cardiovascular disease. Therefore, early detection and medical treatment are particularly important, otherwise it will seriously affect the health of the body. Friends in need can learn more about relevant knowledge.

1. Symptoms of nasal polyps

There are many causes of nasal polyps, such as genetic factors, immune deficiency, ciliary dysfunction, etc., which can all lead to the occurrence of this disease. If you experience the following symptoms, you need to be alert to whether you have nasal polyps.

1. Persistent nasal congestion If you suffer from nasal polyps, the capillaries in the patient's nasal cavity cannot circulate blood normally, resulting in expansion. The patient will not only often have nasal congestion, but also have symptoms caused by nasal congestion, such as decreased sense of smell, obstructive nasal voice, snoring, etc. Long-term use will also cause chronic pharyngitis.

2. Secretions In the early stages of nasal polyps, patients often feel that their nasal cavity is constantly secreting mucus, and the mucus is very thick and may even contain purulent substances.

3. Complications: If you suffer from nasal polyps and do not treat them in time, the growth of nasal polyps will not only aggravate nasal congestion, but may also lead to complications such as loss of smell, dizziness, headache, hearing loss, and frog nose.

(II) What are the harms of nasal polyps to the body?

1. If nasal polyps that cause secretory otitis media are not treated in time or are treated improperly, the size of the polyps will increase. The increase in the size of polyps will also cause blockage of the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, causing serious negative impact on the function of the Eustachian tube, thereby leading to the occurrence of secretory otitis media.

2. Affects the patient's quality of life. Nasal congestion caused by nasal polyps can easily make patients experience breathing difficulties, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, headache, inability to concentrate, memory loss, and lack of energy, which have a great impact on the patient's quality of life.

3. Nasal congestion is a common symptom of nasal polyps that causes cardiovascular disease, and poor nasal ventilation will cause patients to snore while sleeping. Long-term snoring not only reduces the blood oxygen concentration in the patient's body, affecting the function and metabolism of tissues and organs, but is also related to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and certain respiratory diseases.
