Nasal polyps are fleshy swellings that develop in the lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses, which are the air-filled spaces linked to the nasal cavity. They are noncancerous growths.
Larger polyps can lead to breathing problems, a loss of taste or smell, and infections. Symptoms include a post-nasal drip, stuffiness, sinus pressure, facial pain, and frequent nosebleeds.
