Clinical Overview

About Nasal Polyps in Laguna Niguel

Nasal polyps are noncancerous swellings that often accompany long-lasting sinus inflammation. They can cause persistent congestion, a reduced or lost sense of smell, a runny nose, and pressure across the face, and they can recur after treatment.

Describe when you first noticed reduced smell or constant blockage, and what you have tried since. Bring reports from any nasal examination or endoscopy, imaging studies, and a list of nasal sprays, rinses, and oral steroids previously used.

Vinay Mehta, MD lists chronic sinusitis among his clinical interests, and polyps often accompany long-lasting sinus inflammation. Call (949) 364-2900 on a weekday to ask whether the office can evaluate nasal polyp concerns and what to bring.
