Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths in the nasal passages or sinuses that can block airflow and contribute to chronic sinus infections. At SPRING ENT, we specialize in identifying and treating nasal polyps using the latest medical and minimally invasive techniques.

What Are Nasal Polyps & When Should You Seek Treatment?

Nasal polyps are benign, teardrop-shaped growths that develop in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses, usually as a result of long-term inflammation. While they are not harmful on their own, they often occur alongside other conditions like chronic sinusitis, allergies, and asthma, making breathing difficult and increasing the risk of recurring infections.

Signs and symptoms of nasal polyps may include:

  • Persistent nasal congestion
  • Reduced or lost sense of smell
  • Runny nose or postnasal drip
  • Facial pressure or pain
  • Frequent sinus infections
  • Snoring or mouth breathing

If you're experiencing chronic nasal issues that don’t improve with standard treatments—or if you’ve been diagnosed with sinusitis, asthma, or allergies and still have persistent symptoms—nasal polyps may be contributing to the problem. It's important to get a proper evaluation to determine the cause.

How We Treat Nasal Polyps at SPRING ENT:

Dr. Paul Spring takes a comprehensive, patient-focused approach to treating nasal polyps. Diagnosis may include a nasal endoscopy or imaging study to determine the size, number, and location of the polyps, as well as any underlying conditions that may be contributing to them.

Treatment options at SPRING ENT include:

  • Prescription nasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
  • Oral or injectable steroids for more severe cases
  • Allergy testing and management
  • Treatment of associated asthma or sinus infections
  • In-office minimally invasive procedures to remove polyps when medication is ineffective
  • Surgical removal in complex or recurrent cases, with a focus on preserving normal nasal function

We aim to provide effective, long-lasting relief while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
