Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that line the nasal passages or sinuses. They are a frequent cause of persistent congestion, reduced smell, and sinus pressure—often alongside chronic rhinosinusitis. At Shalaaki Eye & ENT Clinic in Bangalore, we assess nasal obstruction and sinus symptoms with a full ENT approach.
Symptoms of nasal polyps
- Long-term stuffiness or blockage
- Runny nose or post-nasal drip
- Reduced sense of smell or taste
- Facial pressure or headaches
- Snoring or mouth breathing
Why polyps develop
Chronic inflammation—from allergies, asthma, aspirin sensitivity, or recurring infection—plays a major role. An ENT evaluation helps identify triggers and plan treatment.
Treatment overview
Medical therapy often includes nasal corticosteroid sprays and saline rinses; sometimes short courses of medication are needed. Severe cases may be referred for surgical discussion. Ayurvedic and supportive therapies may be integrated where appropriate under medical guidance.
When to see an ENT
If congestion lasts months, smell is reduced, or standard cold remedies do not help, see an ENT specialist. Early assessment can improve comfort and quality of life.
