Understanding Your Condition

What are nasal polyps?

Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that form in the lining of the sinuses and nasal passages due to chronic inflammation. Though painless, these growths can obstruct airflow and contribute to a range of frustrating symptoms, including nasal congestion, facial pressure, frequent sinus infections, and a reduced sense of smell or taste.

Individuals with nasal polyps often experience persistent postnasal drip, fatigue, and difficulty breathing through the nose. These symptoms are frequently tied to chronic rhinosinusitis and may be worsened by related conditions like asthma or NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease—a reaction to common pain relievers such as ibuprofen or aspirin.

Modern Solutions for Nasal Polyps

What is the nasal polyps treatment procedure like?

Nasal polyp treatment has advanced dramatically in recent years. While surgery and steroids were once the main options, today’s therapies focus on long-term relief by targeting the root cause: chronic inflammation.

Traditional Treatments:

  • Surgery (Polypectomy): Can offer short-term relief but has a high recurrence rate—polyps return in up to 60% of cases.
  • Steroids: Oral and nasal steroids reduce inflammation but carry risks with long-term use, including weight gain, bone thinning, and increased infection risk.

Today’s Breakthrough Option: Biologic therapies now offer a non-surgical, steroid-sparing approach. These monoclonal antibody treatments work by calming the overactive immune response responsible for polyp growth. They help:

  • Shrink existing nasal polyps
  • Alleviate nasal congestion and sinus pressure
  • Restore sense of smell and taste
  • Reduce reliance on steroids and prevent the need for repeat surgeries

At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we specialize in personalized, research-driven care and offer the latest biologic therapies to help patients breathe easier, with fewer side effects and more lasting results.

Nasal Polyps Treatment Recovery & Results

Biologic therapies for nasal polyps offer a non-surgical path to relief—with little to no downtime. Most patients begin noticing improved breathing, reduced congestion, and a better sense of smell within just a few weeks of starting treatment. Side effects are typically minimal, and consistency with prescribed nasal sprays or rinses can further enhance results.

For patients who undergo surgery, mild swelling and congestion are common during the initial recovery phase. Saline rinses, rest, and avoiding strenuous activity will help support healing. Your provider will guide you through every step and schedule follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust your care as needed.

Nasal Polyps Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Nasal polyps form as a result of persistent inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses. They are commonly associated with allergies, asthma, sinus infections, and sensitivity to NSAIDs. Additionally, genetic factors may contribute to their development. If you are experiencing symptoms such as nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell, or snoring, it's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment options. Early detection and management of nasal polyps can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
Nasal polyps do not shrink or disappear on their own. Without treatment, they can grow, causing congestion, sinus infections, and loss of smell. Medical therapy can reduce their size or eliminate symptoms without surgery.

The optimal treatment for nasal polyps varies based on symptom severity. Biologic therapies offer a non-surgical approach to reducing polyps and preventing their return. Nasal steroid sprays are effective for inflammation, and surgery becomes an option for more serious cases.

Experiencing persistent nasal congestion, sinus pressure, postnasal drip, and changes in sense of smell or taste may indicate the presence of nasal polyps. These symptoms, lasting for weeks or months, differ from those of a cold or allergies. Our team of specialists offers thorough diagnostic evaluations, including physical examinations and imaging tests, to accurately diagnose and treat nasal polyps.

While nasal polyps can recur post-surgery, advanced treatments such as biologics and anti-inflammatory options offer effective prevention and sustained symptom relief. Tailored strategies are essential in managing and minimizing the chances of reoccurrence.
While home remedies like saline rinses and steam inhalation can provide temporary relief for nasal polyps, professional medical treatment is often necessary for lasting results. Managing symptoms with these remedies and avoiding allergens can help, but consulting a healthcare provider for personalized treatment is crucial for long-term relief.
