How will i know if i have nasal polyps?

Have someone look: Symptoms of nasal polyps might include nasal congestion and poor sense of smell. They can sometimes be seen on simple examination, but might require a nasal endoscopy or a scan to fully evaluate.

Exam: Nasal polyps arise from the epithelium cells that line one's sinus. If sinus inflammation is bad enough these cells can squeeze out of the sinuses and been seen in the nose. They are essentially little bags of inflammation that can cause nasal congestion, alter the shape of your nose if big enough and alter your smell. There are multiple cause of polyps and one should be eval by an allergist.

Nasal obstruction: Blocked breathing is the most common symptom. See an ENT for evaluation.
