Definition of Nasal polyp is a growth of nasal mucous membranes that are benign.The cause of the occurrence of polyps is not known, but some polyps grow because of the swelling due to infection.
Polyps are often found in patients :
- Allergic rhinitis
- Asthma
- Chronic Sinusitis
- Cystic Fibrosis
SYMPTOMS
polyps usually grow in areas where the mucous membrane to swell due to fluid retention, such as sinus area around the hole in the nasal cavity. When newly formed, a polyp looks like a tear and if it has been cooked, resembles grapes grayish color.
Polyps causing blockage of the nose, so patients often complain of decreased sense of smell functions. Because your sense of taste associated with the sense of smell, then the patient may also experience decreased sense of taste and smell function.
Nasal polyps can also cause blockage in the drainage of mucus from the sinuses to the nose. This blockage causes mucus in the sinus tertimbunnya. Mucus that is too long in the sinuses can become infected and eventually sinusitis.
Sufferer children often nasal voice and breathe through his mouth.

If you experience persistent nasal congestion and more and more weight added to that is always dripping snot and disturbances of smell functions, chances are you suffer from nasal polyps. Nasal polyps occur because of the emergence of the soft tissue in the nasal cavity, which is white or gray. This network can be directly observed with the naked eye after enlarged nostrils with nasal speculum tool.
Nasal polyps usually attacks adults who probably caused by hypersensitivity reactions or allergic reactions in nasal mucosa, which lasted long. Some other factors that increase the chances of nasal polyps include sinusitis (sinus inflammation) that chronic irritation, nasal obstruction because of anatomical abnormalities and the presence of enlargement on konka.
The principle of treatment of nasal polyps is overcome polip and avoid the cause or the factors that led to the polyps. If a small polyp is treatment with oral drugs and spraying with a nasal spray. However, if polyps are large and made possible with oral medication or spray the surgical removal of polyps should be performed. If you want to heal without surgery then you should do is contact the
Unfortunately if the factors that cause polyps are not resolved then the nasal polyp is thus prone to relapse back. Therefore, patient compliance is expected to avoid things that cause allergies which can lead to the occurrence of nasal polyps.
Polyps is nasal mucosa and sinus disorders, especially paranasal Osteomeatal Complex (OMC) in the meatus nasi medius stemmed form a soft mass, shape, round or oval, grayish white. Surface smooth and somewhat translucent because many contain liquids. Often bilateral and multiple. Polyps are a manifestation of various diseases and is often associated with sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and others.
Aetiology
Aetiology Nasal polyps nasal polyps is not known with certainty. But there are three factors that play a role in the occurrence of polyps rice, namely :
1. Inflammation. Inflammation of nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses are chronic and recurrent.
2. Vasomotor. Impaired vasomotor balance.
3. Edema. Increased interstitial fluid pressure causing nasal mucosal edema. The occurrence of edema can be explained by The Bernoulli Phenomenon.

2. Vasomotor. Impaired vasomotor balance.
3. Edema. Increased interstitial fluid pressure causing nasal mucosal edema. The occurrence of edema can be explained by The Bernoulli Phenomenon.
This phenomenon is an explanation of Bernoulli's law is sunnatullah air flowing through a narrow place would cause negative pressure on the surrounding area so that the network of weak ties will be sucked by negative pressure. As a result, mucosal edema arises. This situation continued until there was nasal polyps.
There is also a form of variations of nasal polyps called Koana Polyps (Polyps Koana Antrum). Koana polyps (polyps Koana antrum) is a large polyp in the nasopharynx and maxillary sinus originating from the antrum. These polyps out through the maxillary sinus os and os accessories and entered into the nasal cavity and then go to koana and enlarged in the nasopharynx.
