Causes and symptoms of polyps in the nose

Polyps in the nose are outgrowths, neoplasms. In a study on histology, the benign character of the pathology is confirmed. They are round in shape, smooth. With palpation, soreness is not detected. Outwardly resemble a pea. Some can acquire a very bizarre form, and appear as a mushroom, or a bunch of grapes. The mechanism of their formation is based on the growth of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. At the same time a person constantly pawns his nose, there is a discharge of mucous nature. Usual drops, as a rule, do not bring relief. In the end, the person stops breathing through the nose, seizes the air with a throat. This is dangerous for the respiratory system in that dry, un-moistened air enters the pulmonary tissue. It is not completely cleared of bacteria, external pollutants. As a result, there are diseases, inflammations. Decreases even the overall life expectancy (with polyps - an average of 6 years).

[1], [2], [3]

Epidemiology

According to statistical indicators, polyps are one of the main pathologies that develops as complications of rhinitis. The frequency of occurrence of this pathology is 1-4%. The frequency of morbidity in the male part of the population is about 25% higher than in women.

[4], [5], [6], [7]

Causes of the polyps in the nose

Often, the development of tissue hyperplasia is promoted by a high degree of bacterial and viral load, reduced immunity, insufficient level of nonspecific protection. Also polyposis can be due to the fact that people often inhale home and library dust, as well as the constant breathing of plant pollen, mushroom spores, various chemical compounds.

The sinusitis, the injured and damaged nasal septum contribute to the development of pathology. Also important is the hereditary factor, the presence of abnormalities in the nasopharynx, functional disorders, the presence of concomitant diseases.

[8], [9], [10], [11]

Risk factors

The risk group includes people who often catch cold. Also, the risk of polyps development is significantly increased in the presence of allergic reactions and concomitant diseases, with reduced immunity. Promotes the development of pathology as a cyst. Also, the presence of aspirin intolerance is adversely affected.

People who work with constant contact with domestic and vegetable allergens, wool, spores of fungi and toxins, and chemicals fall into the risk group. Especially dangerous are chromium compounds and saturated acids. Also, the risk increases with contact with library and archival dust.

[12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]

Pathogenesis

At the heart of pathogenesis is the excessive tendency of the mucous membrane to inflammation, hypertrophy and growth, which occurs with dysbacteriosis, active reproduction of opportunistic microorganisms. All this is accompanied by excessive formation of excreta. A large amount of fluid produced during inflammation and edema also forms. Mucous begins to grow in the sinuses of the nose, gradually goes beyond them and fills the entire volume of the cavity. Normally, the process is seen as a mechanism for ensuring protection and adaptation. It is aimed at the destruction of foreign agents penetrating into the nasal cavity. Alien substances immediately get on the mucous membrane, which acts as the first protective mechanism on the way to penetration of the infection. Local immunity is activated, production of immunoglobulin, biologically active substances is started. Gradually the infection is delayed, the surface of the epithelium sloughs. There is exudation - the allocation of a large amount of mucus by glandular cells. This facilitates the mechanical removal of infectious agents. Usually develops an inflammatory process - rhinitis. With good immunity, the disease usually lasts 7-10 days. After recovery, the mucosa is restored.

With incomplete cure, chronic inflammation develops, the mucosa can not completely recover. She periodically undergoes inflammatory processes, then again regeneration. Local immunity decreases, the membrane begins to compensate for its protective capabilities and undergoes hyperplasia. This makes it possible to compensate for the weakening of immunological processes through active growth and increase in size. As a result, the area of contact is significantly increased. Expansion occurs due to activation of connective tissue. Later this tissue remains visible when viewed. In size, it no longer diminishes, remains visible when viewed.

[18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27]

Symptoms of the polyps in the nose

It is possible to suspect polyps by prolonged nasal congestion, which does not go away even after recovery and is not treated. Gradually inflamed tissue begins to grow, completely or partially overlaps the lumen of the nose. Also, a person does not have a runny nose for a long time, mucus and pus are secreted from the nose. The person sneezes, react to any, the smallest irritation from the outgrowths of the shell. Vorsinki perceive these outgrowths as a foreign agent and, accordingly, there is such a protective, reflex reaction as sneezing. It seeks to eliminate the outgrowth of the nose. Also, the sense of smell is significantly impaired.

Some people completely lose the ability to perceive odors. The more tissue grows, the more accompanying pathologies develop. For example, the sensitivity of receptors decreases. They become smaller by a square centimeter, respectively, and all reactions are changed.

Gradually develops headache, dizziness, the activity and susceptibility of receptors are significantly impaired. The expanded tissue presses on surrounding tissues. From this pressure, the receptors, nerve cells and fibers also suffer. Because the lumen is narrowed, there is not enough air to inhale. When you exhale, the air does not completely come out, resulting in a complete purification of the body. This leads to oxygen starvation and an overabundance of carbon dioxide in the blood, as a result of which hypercapnia develops. The voice of a person changes significantly as the polyp grows and pressure on the surrounding tissues, including the vocal cords.

Early signs that allow suspected polyps include nasal congestion and mucosal discharge. These signs make it possible to diagnose polyps and take the necessary measures in time, to prevent their further development.

Nasal congestion and polyps

Nose with polyps is almost always laid down and no means are ineffective. This is due to the fact that the mucosa is edematous and hypertrophied, respectively, its dimensions are increased. Because of this, there are obstacles in the path of air flow. The mucous membrane can grow to the point that it can block the nasal passage. The person will start to breathe completely with the mouth. This greatly increases the chances of nocturnal asphyxia.

Forms

There are several  classifications of polyps. Often a classification is used in the place where neoplasms occur. So, according to this division, the polyps can be conditionally divided into anthohaanal and ethmoidal. The first are located in the maxillary sinus. They differ in localization only on one side. This pathology is typical for children. The location of the localization of the second type of polyps is the latticed labyrinth. In this case, the polyps are localized on both sides of the nasal septum. This form of pathology is characteristic of adults.

[28], [29], [30]

Complications and consequences

One of the most important consequences of the development of polyps, is a low level of tissue hydration and insufficient warming of air (and sometimes these processes are completely absent). This leads to getting into the lungs, contaminated and not warmed by air. On the lungs a significant amount of dust particles, pollen, which cause inflammation, the formation of exudate settles. Also there is a chronic sinusitis, which develops against the background of a disruption of the connection between the sinuses. The growth progresses, and as it spreads, there is pressure on the blood vessels, nerves, tissues. Increasingly, angina develops, hearing loss. Often inflammation develops in the middle and inner ear, Eustachian tubes. In these zones, the pressure increases significantly.

What are the dangerous polyps in the nose?

Consequences may be pneumonia, bronchitis, tracheitis. Often develops chronic sinusitis, hearing impairment, otitis and eustachytes. There is a risk of nocturnal apnea (respiratory arrest). It can arise because the tissue has overgrown and occupied the entire internal space, overlapping the cavity.

[31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36]

Diagnostics of the polyps in the nose

In order to diagnose a polyp in the nose, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. This will provide an opportunity to identify pathology and take the necessary measures to prevent further progression. The clinical picture is characteristic: shortness of breath, nasal voice. Children can be diagnosed by the way they look. They always walk with their mouth open, because there is not enough air, the lower lip often bites. The lips are weathering, the folds in the triangle area disappear. When a visual examination reveals the growth in the form of a bunch, or a single formation from hypertrophic mucosa. The cause, which provoked growth, is determined. Laboratory and instrumental studies, differential diagnostics are used.

[37], [38], [39]

Analyzes

When making a diagnosis, standard examinations are carried out: urine, blood, cal. They provide an opportunity to assess the state of the body, to identify the inflammatory process. Also, in the clinical analysis, preliminary information on the nature of the inflammatory process can be found. The increase in leukocytes can speak of a bacterial and viral infection, polyps of an allergic nature can indicate a large number of basophils, eosinophils, mast cells. The increase in eosinophils can also be a sign of an invasive problem, worms. Reduction of erythrocytes, hemoglobin can indicate a prolonged inflammatory process, a chronic infection, the development of neoplasms.

Biochemical analysis of the blood will show in more detail the essence and direction, indicate the severity, localization of the inflammatory process.

Using the immunological method (developed immunogram), you can learn about the state of the immune system, the reserves and protective abilities of the body, determine the nature of the pathology.

If a virus infection is suspected, virologic and serological diagnosis is used. The study is carried out mainly by the method of enzyme immunoassay, polymerase chain reaction. It provides an opportunity to identify the pathogen, determine the degree of viral load, indicators of intoxication.

If suspected polyps of an allergic nature, allergic examination (samples), analysis for immunoglobulin E (general and specific), for histamine.

If necessary, a bacteriological study is carried out, which makes it possible to isolate the causative agent of the disease, to determine its biological identity, concentration, and degree of dissemination. It is also possible to conduct an analysis for antibiotic sensitivity. It will enable you to select a drug that will be as effective as possible in relation to the excreted pathogen and determine the optimal concentration of the drug.

Also, if necessary, the analysis for hidden infections is performed. This is a special type of infection, which for a long time develops in the body asymptomatically, without manifesting itself. In this case, significant pathological changes occur in the body.

[40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45]

Histology of the polyps of the nose

If there is a suspicion of an oncological process, a biopsy is performed, during which a piece of tissue is cut from the tumor. Then it is subjected to further histological examination. Sowing is carried out on selective nutrient media intended for the cultivation of tissue culture. Incubate under thermostat conditions. By the nature and direction determine the type and nature of the tumor. It is concluded whether the tumor is malignant.

Instrumental diagnostics

With the help of instrumental research it is possible to obtain the necessary information for the formulation of the final diagnosis.

The most common is a rhinoscopy, during which the doctor examines the nasal cavity. In this case, a special mirror is used, which makes it possible to examine all the walls of the nasal cavity. Polyps can be identified by their characteristic appearance.

Also used methods of research, such as pharyngoscopy, otoscopy, microlaringoscopy. All studies are appointed by the doctor, on the basis of his data, history, results of general and physical examination.

X-ray

If necessary, an x-ray is prescribed. It makes it possible to visualize the polyp, to evaluate its shape, size, localization in the nasal cavity. Assign primarily before surgery.

MRT

Magnetic resonance imaging is used primarily before surgery. It enables the surgeon to assess the degree, stage of development of the polyp. The paranasal sinuses are examined. Before surgery is a mandatory procedure, as it provides an opportunity to assess the degree of future intervention. If for any reason MRI is contraindicated, an X-ray examination is performed, but it is less informative.

Differential diagnosis

The basis for differential diagnosis is the need to differentiate polyps from other pathologies and tumors that have similar characteristics. So, it is necessary to differentiate polyps from adenoids. For this, laryngoscopy is sufficient.

In order to differentiate polyps from a cancerous tumor, it is necessary to conduct a histological study of the biological material. By the nature and direction of growth determine the type of neoplasm, its shape, stage.

[46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52]

Adenoids or polyps in the nose

Adenoids are proliferations of lymphoid tissue, whereas in polyps, connective tissue predominates. These fabrics have a different appearance. When examining and rinsoscopy, the doctor can accurately determine the nature of the pathology.

[53], [54], [55]

Cancer or polyps in the nose

Cancer from polyps is differentiated by histological examination. For this, a piece of tissue is sampled, and it is sown to nutrient media. Then, the tissue features are examined and conclude whether the sample is a malignant or benign entity.

[56], [57], [58], [59], [60]

Treatment of the polyps in the nose

Features of treatment of polyps in the nose depend on the stage of the disease and the causes of its occurrence. Predominantly, an etiological therapy is conducted, aimed at eliminating the cause of the disease. With small sizes of polyps, drug treatment is performed. With polyps of large sizes, surgical treatment is performed.

To eliminate polyps of allergic nature, antiallergic treatment is carried out, antihistamines are used. When a virus infection is detected, antiviral therapy is performed, when antibacterial pathogens are detected, it is advisable to use antibiotics.

Symptomatic therapy aimed at eliminating the main symptoms of the disease is also used. Anesthetics are used for severe pain. With the allocation of mucus and nasal congestion, nasal drops, vasoconstrictive drugs are used. In case of severe inflammation, anti-inflammatory drugs are used.

Sometimes polyps are caused by intolerance to aspirin. In this case, you just need to cancel the intake of aspirin and other drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid and salicylates.

Sometimes the therapy includes taking topical steroid medications. Therapy with steroids is long, therefore the risk of complications is great. Treatment is carried out together with stabilizers of cellular membranes of mast cells. Cromoglicates are used, which are aimed at reducing the release of histamine from the body. As a result, the manifestations of an allergic reaction are significantly reduced, the edema and hyperemia of the mucous membrane are removed. Also, the activity of the respiratory tract and metabolic processes in the body is significantly increased.

Immunotherapy is widely used. Apply immunomodulating, immunostimulating agents. Drugs of bacterial origin, including antigenic preparations, bacteriophages, probiotic preparations, have proved to be successful. The main action is aimed at correction of the immune status, modulation of metabolic processes and protective reactions of the body. Polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides normalize the basic protective and regulatory functions of the body.

Passive immunization is possible, in which a certain amount of ready-made antibodies is introduced into the body. They act purposefully against the specific antigen that causes the disease. Such treatment requires preliminary diagnosis. Only on the basis of analyzes it is possible to select appropriate therapy.

Surgical treatment is usually prescribed when conservative therapy is ineffective, or if the polyps are detected late and are no longer susceptible to conservative methods of treatment.

Is it necessary to remove polyps in the nose?

If small, and detected at an early stage of its development, for starters it is worth trying conservative methods of treatment. If the polyp is large enough, and is at a late stage of development, it is better to remove it, since the risk of unwanted consequences and complications increases. Precisely to say about the need to remove polyps can only a doctor, based on data from laboratory and instrumental diagnostics.

It is recommended to remove polyps in the event that they cause the development of inflammation of other organs and systems. Remove polyps in the event that they led to chronic sinusitis, sinusitis. It is also better to remove if there is a risk of overnight apnea to avoid the possibility of stopping breathing due to excessive tissue overgrowth. Today, there are many surgical methods that enable the operation to be carried out quickly, painlessly and reduce the recovery period to a minimum.

Removal of polyps in the nose

They are recommended to be removed with complete nasal congestion, snoring, violation of smell, taste and hearing, as well as with strong discharge from the nose. First, preliminary preparations are made for the operation, during which the history is collected, necessary analyzes, premedication, and then the operation itself is carried out.

How to get rid of polyps in the nose without surgery?

Today, there are methods of conservative treatment of polyps. Before deciding to surgery, it is worth trying to get rid of polyps without it. For this, medicamental treatment, physiotherapeutic effect is used. You can resort to folk recipes and homeopathic remedies. To some patients, such therapy helps to get rid of polyps, some do not.

Medicamentous treatment of polyps in the nose

Medicamentous treatment is aimed at eliminating the main factors that contribute to the development of polyps. In the presence of bacterial infection, antibiotic therapy is carried out, when detecting viruses, it is advisable to carry out antiviral therapy. It is necessary to completely eliminate the entire inflammatory process in the nasopharynx, pharynx, and oral cavity.

Effective salt solutions used to rinse the throat and wash the nasal cavity. Well proven drugs such as Dolphin, Marimer, Physiomer, Allergol. Immunomodulating drugs, vitamin therapy are used. With a strong inflammatory process, steroid hormones are used.

Remedies for polyps in the nose

Combined therapy is used. When polyps are found in viral etiology, it is advisable to use antiviral drugs. Well-proven anaferon. Take 1 tablet 3-4 times a day. Effectively fights against a viral infection. It should be taken with caution to people with gastrointestinal diseases, since it can cause inflammation of chronic inflammatory processes. It is necessary to strictly follow the prescribed treatment regimen, otherwise the drug will not have the necessary action.

For polyps of bacterial etiology, antibiotics are used. You can try ciprofloxacin. Take 500 mg once a day. The course of treatment is from 3 to 7 days. Precautions - it is necessary to take a complete course, even if the symptoms do not bother. Otherwise, a relapse of the disease may occur, and the microflora will acquire resistance not only to this drug, but also to the entire group of substances. Also it is necessary to be checked up on a dysbacteriosis after the termination or ending of therapy. If necessary, drink a course of probiotics, which will help restore the microflora.

Apply stabilizers of cell membranes, which prevent further development of pathology and growth of polyps. It is recommended to take ketotifen 1 tablet three times a day.

When developing an allergic reaction or polyposis of an allergic nature, it is advisable to use antiallergic drugs. For example, loratadine is used on a tablet once a day. This drug is prolonged action, so it is not recommended to take more than once a day.

You can also take suprastin (if the actions of loratodin are not enough for 24 hours). Suprastin is taken on a tablet 2-3 times a day. May cause drowsiness, inadequate concentration of attention.

Physiotherapeutic treatment

Physiotherapy is used to treat polyps. Warmings are useful, both with dry heat, and with lamps with different wavelengths. Well-acting inhalation with various medicines and herbal extracts. Inhalation with KUF rays is used.

Electrophoresis also has a positive effect on the body. The advantage of this method is that the drugs penetrate directly into the mucous membrane and polyp tissue and have a therapeutic effect there. Substances are actively absorbed by microcurrents. Also a big plus is that the action is only local. Absence of systemic action significantly reduces the risk of complications. With this form of treatment, a lower concentration of the drug is required.

Can I warm my nose with polyps?

When polyps are recommended to warm up the nose, since heat contributes to the removal of the inflammatory process, resorption of exudate and seals. You can warm your nose at home using various folk methods, and with the help of special physiotherapy procedures.

[61], [62], [63], [64], [65], [66]

Respiratory exercises with polyps of the nose

A powerful therapeutic effect is provided by gymnastics with polyps. It promotes the improvement of blood circulation, the removal of the inflammatory process and the normalization of metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the nose. In addition, gymnastics has a positive effect on the entire respiratory system, and on the entire body as a whole.

Well-proven breathing exercises from the system "Hatha Yoga", "Qigong". It is recommended to run several times a day. Dynamic exercises should be alternated with static exercises. This will improve the efficiency of gymnastics. Begin training with 10-15 minutes, gradually increasing the duration to an hour or more. Beginning and finishing the lesson should be with full yoga breathing, which allows you to concentrate as much as possible, concentrate your attention, relax your muscles. Do it in a quiet environment, in a well-ventilated room, or in the fresh air. Do not need to perform on a full stomach. It is better to perform 2-3 hours after eating.

Complete yogic breathing means three types of breathing, which are performed consistently. Begin with a full deep breath and exhalation. Then we sit down in a comfortable pose, preferably with crossed legs. We try to relax muscles as much as possible, the shoulder girdle is omitted. Eyes are covered, we begin breathing through the nose. On inhalation, the stomach slowly rises, comes forward, is filled with air. After the stomach is full, fill the chest with air, lifting it up and expanding it to the sides. Then we lift the area of the clavicles, fill this zone with air.

Then we begin a slow exhalation in the reverse order - first we lower the clavicle. Then the thorax slowly descends, the ribs, the air comes out. Then gradually the stomach falls. We try to exhale as much as possible, pressing the stomach to the spine. Repeat 10-15 times.

After that, you can lie on your back, try to relax as much as possible, listen to your breathing. We breathe calmly, rhythmically, without delaying, and not accelerating our breathing. Exercise for 2-3 minutes, slowly get up. We begin to perform the basic exercises.

Static exercises

• Pranayama "Tree"

Rise steadily. Spine as much as possible straighten. Hands completely straightened at the elbows. Make an air delay. With a sharp exhalation, hands drop sharply down, position along the hips. Cover your eyes, watch your condition, listen to the changes that have occurred in the body.

• Pranayama "The Pure Voice."

Sit in the pose of the lotus, or in any pose with crossed legs. The back should be flat. You can cover your eyes. Take a full deep breath. Hold your breath. Direct attention to the area of the nose, nasopharynx, pharynx, vocal cords. Mentally imagine how all the negative, pain, dirt accumulates in the area of the nose. Then make a sharp exhalation, bending your head to your knees or floor.

Imagine how it all comes out with an exit. Then straighten your back, maximally stretch the spine. Take a deep breath. Imagine how bright, clean energy flows in a continuous stream through the nose, fills all the airways, spreads throughout the body.

Dynamic exercises

• Pranayama "Flywheel"

Rise steadily. Back, the spine as relaxed as possible and stretched up. We take a deep breath. We raise hands up to shoulder level. The fingers are compressed into a fist. We delay as much as we can. At the delay we perform hand movements forward and backward. On the exhalation of the river forward, exhale as sharply as possible.

• Pranayama "The Mill"

We become exactly. We take a breath. On inspiration, we raise our arms forward, to the level of the shoulders. We make a delay in breathing. At the delay, we rotate our hands in a circle, like a mill. Hold your breath as long as it works. Then we make a sharp exhalation, hands forward.

After the end of the respiratory system, we perform full yoga breathing again. After training, it is recommended to lie on your back for 10-15 minutes, as much as possible relaxing all the muscles. In this case, you need to try to relax as much as possible chest, ribs, collarbones, respiratory tract.

Folk treatment

Recommended infusion bay leaf. For cooking, you need to take 2 cups of bay leaf, grind it, and prepare a water broth from it. Lavr can be used not only as a decoction. It can be ground to a powder and chewed several times a day instead of chewing gum. Can be added to the various dishes. In doing so, it is better to prepare the first dishes, which intensively nourish the body, contribute to a speedy recovery.

In order to quickly remove the inflammation, you can use a decoction of chamomile. There are many ways to take this herbal remedy. The broth can be drunk during the day with small sips. You can add it to other fees or brew in a tea pot along with the usual tea.

Broth peony in the form of compresses has long been used in folk medicine. To prepare the decoction, the roots of the plant are required. They are ground, brewed a decoction. To apply, you need a thin gauze. It must be folded twice and moistened in a warm broth. After that, put on the nose, in the nose bridge and stand for 10-15 minutes. At this time, it's better to lie down and relax. It is also possible to carry out a closed compress, in which cellophane is applied from above, and then - dry heat - a cloth folded in several layers. Special holes are made for the nose.

[67], [68], [69]

Homeopathy

The remedies are effective, they allow you to quickly eliminate hyperemia, reduce the size of the polyp. Basically, these funds are aimed at eliminating the cause of the disease, so they are very effective. But the risk of side effects still should not be ruled out. For example, you should always remember that some remedies such as honey, propolis can cause allergies. Some tools may not be compatible with each other. It should also be noted that homeopathy is effective for minor polyps. It can also provide reliable prevention and recovery. But with polyps of large sizes, homeopathic remedies can not cope.

Chaga, or birch mushroom, has long been used to treat and prevent various neoplasms, both benign and malignant. To make a drink, take a fresh mushroom, rub it on a grater. You can take a dry mushroom, but then it must be pre-soaked for several hours, then rubbed on a grater. Take the grated mass, put it in warm water. In this case, water should be taken about 5 times more than the fungus itself. Insist should be about a day, after which the product can be drunk. You need to drink at least 2 and not more than four glasses a day.

You can also try to prepare a nutritious mixture that will restore the body in a very short time, and help him to fight the diseases. For cooking, you need to take about 50 grams of hazelnut, dried apricots, raisins, prunes. Separately, finely chop the aloe leaf, squeeze out the pulp from it. In the resulting mixture passed through the meat grinder, place aloe and honey, mix thoroughly until a uniform mass is formed. Add a little cinnamon, raisins, ground ginger.

You can try to apply a compress from the warming mixture, which will help reduce the inflammatory process. Take a small bowl separately, mix it in a tablespoon of each component: ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Add a little warm water with constant stirring. Form a homogeneous mass, then it is applied to a napkin and applied for 10 minutes to the region of the bridge of the nose. It is better to sit or lie down, throwing your head back.

On the basis of honey and nettle leaves, a good ointment is prepared, which will help in the fight against polyps. It is necessary to take dry or fresh leaves of nettle, carefully grind them and pour honey on top. Stir until a uniform mass is formed, then applied to the skin (bridge of the nose) or lubricated with the resulting mass of mucous membranes. You can also add this product to tea in moderate amounts.

Surgery

The main method of surgical intervention is the removal of polyps. Today, the usual polypotomy and endoscopic surgery is used.

Polypotomy is a surgical operation that allows to remove the growth with the use of special tools. A cutting loop is used. A big plus of this method is that it makes it possible to get rid of several polyps simultaneously, if they are multiple. In the postoperative period, it is sufficient to lubricate with levomycetin ointment. If necessary, the nasal cavity is washed. The patient is discharged approximately 5-7 days after the operation. The period of full rehabilitation is from 10 to 20 days.

The operation is not performed during the period of illness, in acute forms of inflammatory or infectious processes. Full recovery, remission period is required.

In 70% of people there is a repeated growth of polyps. In this case, after six months, a second operation is required.

Also today, an endoscopic operation has proven itself. The advantage of this method is that the degree of intervention here is minimal. An additional advantage is the possibility of removing all damaged tissues and performing correction of the nose.

After the operation, there is no severe pain, there is a feeling of discomfort. It greatly facilitates the patient's well-being, breathing improves. You can leave for work after 2-3 days. For women, it is important to determine the period of conduction (should not coincide with menstruation).

Prevention

In order to prevent the formation of polyps, it is necessary to treat catarrhal diseases and other associated diseases in a timely and correct manner. Especially carefully you need to monitor the health and hygiene of the mouth, nasopharynx, pharynx. It is also important to monitor the condition of the body as a whole, not to tolerate the violation of immunity and metabolism. You need to monitor your diet and take vitamins in the autumn-spring period, avoid fatigue, exhaustion, nervous overexertion.

When allergic reactions occur, you need to diagnose them as soon as possible, determine the allergen and select the appropriate treatment. Also it is necessary to avoid contact with the allergen in the future. It is necessary to carry out vaccinoprevention in a timely manner, not to appear in public places during epidemics of influenza, colds. When there are dental diseases, you need to treat them as soon as possible. If there are chronic diseases in the nasal cavity, regular check-ups should be carried out regularly.

In order not to develop  polyps in the nose, it is important to ensure at least a minimum level of physical activity, perform breathing and relaxing practices, and meditate. It is important to moisten the air in the room, or periodically visit the bath, breathe steam. Air conditioners are better to exclude. Useful sessions of massage and aromatherapy, conducted with a preventive purpose.

[70], [71], [72], [73], [74], [75], [76]

Forecast

Disease without treatment is dangerously chronous. It is characterized by a prolonged inflammatory process, which significantly violates the body's defenses, reduces immunity. Also complications are dangerous: from a typical inflammation of the lungs to a night stop of breathing.

If the  polyps in the nose are  treated timely, the prognosis is favorable. Man quickly recovered. Depending on the severity of the disease, conservative or surgical treatment may be required.
