I was worried when my father told me that he has a nasal polyp/s. In what i have researched, Nasal polyp occurs in people with respiratory allergies. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) is an irritation of the membranes of the nose by airborne particles or chemicals. These membranes make mucus. When irritated, they can also grow polyps. The nose is not only a passageway for air to reach the lungs; it also provides the connection between the sinuses and the outside world. Sinuses are lined with mucus membranes, just like the nose. Polyps can easily obstruct the drainage of mucus from the sinuses. When any fluid in the body is trapped so it cannot flow freely, it becomes infected. The result, sinusitis, is a common complication of allergic rhinitis.
So when he got his check-up and the doctor said that it is curable and it can be removed using laser or a surgical operation, then by that time i just Thank God for the positive and good result of my father’s nasal polyps.
