What Are Nasal Polyps?

Nasal polyps are benign growths in the nasal or sinus linings, often triggered by chronic inflammation from allergies, asthma, or infections. They lead to symptoms like nasal blockage, reduced smell, and facial pressure. Dr. Naveed Basheeth uses advanced diagnostics, such as nasal endoscopy and imaging, to identify polyps and deliver tailored treatments for lasting relief.

  • Chronic nasal congestion or obstruction
  • Reduced sense of smell or taste
  • Frequent sinus infections or headaches
  • Facial pain or pressure
  • Breathing or sleep difficulties

How Is Nasal Polyps Treatment Different From Other ENT Services?

Nasal polyps treatment is uniquely tailored to address benign growths caused by chronic inflammation, setting it apart from other ENT specialties that manage broader conditions like ear infections or throat disorders. It employs precise diagnostic tools, such as nasal endoscopy and CT imaging, paired with targeted therapies like nasal corticosteroids, biologics, or endoscopic polypectomy. This focused approach effectively clears nasal obstructions and restores sinus function, offering relief with minimal intervention.

Does Recovery After Nasal Polyps Treatment Take Long?

Recovery from nasal polyps treatment is generally rapid, with non-invasive options like nasal sprays or oral corticosteroids providing symptom relief within days. For minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopic polyp removal, mild nasal discomfort typically resolves quickly, allowing most patients to return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks. Dr. Basheeth’s customized aftercare ensures a comfortable, efficient healing process with lasting results.
