I have got nasal polyps which I was suppose to have removed in January but chickened out and did not have done?


My question is what will happen if I leave the polyps untreated will they become bigger or will they go away through time on there own.
----------

they won't go away on their own. bite the bullet and have them removed. I had mine done 3 years ago, doesn't hurt a bit and I no longer get sinus problems, and if I get a cold it doesn't drag on for ages either. good luck!  (+ info)

See your health care provider as soon as possible. Postnasal drip is typically caused by air pollution, allergies, or infections. The irritated membranes in your nose and sinuses thicken and produce too much mucus. When the condition becomes chronic, it's often difficult to tell what caused it. And it's seldom cured.
Side effects from the standard medications used for postnasal drip-antibiotics, antihistamines and decongestants-often outweigh their meager benefits. If you should try those drugs and they don't work, see an otorhinolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist). Once cysts, polyps and tumors have been ruled out, either a corticosteroid nasal spray or cortisone injections into the nasal membranes may help. And good luck.  (+ info)

What is the best natural and medicinal (nonsurgical) way to reduce/get rid of nasal polyps?


there is no permanent cure for this. even if u get it operated it is likely to surface within few months or at the most a year. depending upon your general health your doctor can recommend a minimum dose of some booster which can give u some relief for 2 to 3 months. but it is risky to repeat this frequently.  (+ info)

How do you get nasal polyps?


Doc says I have one but where do they come from? I have really bad sinus headaches and the right side of my face aches all the time.
----------

Nasal polyps can develop in the mucous lining of your nose or in one or more of your sinuses — four hollow cavities above and behind your nose. But polyps aren't a disease. Rather, they're the end product of ongoing inflammation that may result from viral or bacterial infections, from allergies or from an immune system response to fungus. Chronic inflammation causes the blood vessels in the lining of your nose and sinuses to become more permeable, allowing water to accumulate in the cells. Over time, as gravity pulls on these waterlogged tissues, they may develop into polyps.  (+ info)
