Polyps in the nose? Never underestimate it!

Nasal polyps are a common disease that poses a great threat to human health. There are many causes of nasal polyps, especially in patients with long-term chronic rhinitis. This inflammation repeatedly stimulates the nasal mucosa, which may lead to inflammatory changes and the formation of polyps. The presence of nasal polyps often causes breathing difficulties. In addition to aggravating rhinitis, it often causes some symptoms, such as brain hypoxia, dizziness and other symptoms. When nasal polyps are more serious, they will also invade adjacent tissues and organs, and there is even a certain risk of cancer. Therefore, when nasal polyps appear, they should be checked and treated in time.

Dangers of nasal polyps:

1. Causes high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.:

Since most patients with nasal polyps have chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, tinnitus, etc. to varying degrees, this will greatly increase the harmfulness of nasal polyps. Some patients may also have symptoms of shock. Therefore, patients should face the harm of nasal polyps, detect them early and treat them early to avoid delaying the disease.

2. Cause brain dullness:

Nasal polyps themselves will not affect the brain, but if nasal polyps are not treated for a long time, it will lead to brain hypoxia and memory loss, and middle-aged and elderly people may suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Because nasal polyps are located below the nasal cavity where it enters the brain, long-term brain hypoxia causes insufficient oxygen supply to the brain.

3. Nasal polyps cause pharyngitis:

The clinical manifestations include dryness, itching, burning, foreign body sensation in the throat, pain in swallowing, and increased saliva; weak patients or children have significant systemic symptoms, including fever, chills, headache, loss of appetite, and sore limbs.

4. Damage to the whole body:

Nasal polyps may also cause functional damage to the heart, lungs and other organs, and may even become malignant. Fast-growing and large-sized nasal polyps may squeeze and destroy the sinus walls or the roof of the nasal cavity, and then invade the eye sockets, frontal sinuses, anterior cranial fossa, sphenoid sinus and middle cranial fossa.

Experts recommend: Patients with nasal polyps should pay attention to physical exercise, combine work and rest, dress appropriately, breathe more fresh air, avoid dry nose, and do not use nasal medicine easily. Nasal lesions should be diagnosed and treated promptly, and infections in adjacent lesions need to be treated. Don't delay the best time for treatment! Early detection means early treatment.
