A stuffy nose and shortness of breath do not quite have a beneficial effect on the human body. In this condition, he experiences significant discomfort, which soon causes irritability and nervousness.
With nasal congestion, lethargy, poor performance, drowsiness are observed. Many reasons can cause this condition: an allergic reaction, infections, and polyps in the nose.
In the nasopharynx, benign formations are sometimes formed that make it difficult for a person to breathe freely. In medicine, this phenomenon is called "nasal polyposis." If you do not go to the doctor on time and let the disease drift, then soon benign formations will be replaced by malignant tumors, which pose a significant danger to the human body.
The cause of such formations in the maxillary sinuses is most often a nasal allergy. Coming with the air into the nasopharynx, many allergens become strong irritants for humans, resulting in the formation of tumors such as polyps. These allergens include home and book dust, plant pollen and pet hair, with which a person is in close contact.
Modern technologies and treatment methods can effectively and practically painlessly prevent the appearance of new polyps, reduce the growth of existing ones, and facilitate the removal of old ones. True, there are situations in which surgical intervention is simply indispensable. This is, first of all, the fourth stage of polyposis, when polyps completely block the airways.
In addition, the tactics of surgical operations aimed at removing polyps in the nose have now changed . It was possible to get rid of formations gently, with minimal damage to the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx, but this requires special tools: endoscopes and microscopes, and the doctor must have experience and knowledge in this field of surgery.
When using local anesthesia, polyps in the nose are removed with a shaver - a special surgical tool. In this case, it is very important to control the operation process using an endoscope. A shaver acts in this way: it grinds and absorbs polyps, after which they are removed from the nasal cavity through special cells of the ethmoid labyrinth.
Removal of polyps also occurs through the use of medications that are injected into the polyp itself. As a result of such treatment, the patient painlessly gets rid of unpleasant formations - the polyp dies and easily leaves the nose.
Laser is also known in medicine for the removal of polyps in the nose. For this, local anesthesia is used, and the operation is almost bloodless, because there is no need to make any incisions. The method is that the laser is injected into the polyp and evaporated. As a result of the procedures, only a thin shell of such a formation remains, which is quite easily removed from the nasopharynx. Laser application is aimed at removing polyps in the nose in the early stages of development.
All operations of the nasal cavity associated with the formation of polyps can be aimed at removing polyps in the nose and reducing their size. Doctors also often treat allergic processes that cause polyposis.
Sometimes it can be effective to remove polyps in the nose by using nasal sprays based on corticosteroids. When using them, a significant decrease or complete disappearance of polyps is sometimes observed.
After removing the polyps or just to avoid their formation, it is again important to carry out preventive measures, the most effective of which is personal hygiene. It is she who will protect the person from various infections on the mucous membranes.
