Polyps benign

A polyp is a flesh swelling that isn't cancerous. They vary in size and colour and can either grow singularly or in clusters. A polyp is often found on the nose lining and can block the airflow causing breathing difficulties, loss of smell and cause sinusitis, however not all polyps cause symptoms. Other signs of polyps benign include permanently runny nose, snoring and headaches. This condition has no known source but may be caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Remedies for polyps benign found in the nose are nasal sprays, drops or steroid tablets. If the polyps are very large and other treatments fail to work, surgery is an option.
