Question

Just found out I have nasal polyps. Does anyone know what kind of problems they can cause? Is there any possibility that they can affect the cilia's ability to work?

Answer 1

discomforts in breathing most likely... have it removed.. its just some short surgery.

Answer 2

nasal polyps can grow bigger and obstruct the nasal passages. Did your doctor recommend a steriod nasal spray? This will keep the polyps from enlarging. If they are already blocking off your nasa passages, then you will need surgery to remove them.

Answer 3

It will cause chronic sinusitis. You definitely don't want it, so you need to get them removed.
