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.

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.
