Other polyp of sinus - what does this mean
Other polyps of the sinus occur when the mucous membrane of the sinus cavity becomes inflamed and swollen. this can happen due to allergies, infection, or other irritants. the inflammation causes the mucous membrane to thicken and form a polyp, which can block the sinus cavity and cause a variety of symptoms, such as facial pressure, headaches, and difficulty breathing.
What happens during the disease - other polyp of sinus
Other polyp of sinus is a condition in which non-cancerous growths occur on the mucous membranes of the sinuses. this condition is often caused by an infection of the sinuses, such as a viral or bacterial infection. when the infection is not treated, the mucous membranes become inflamed and swollen, which can lead to the formation of polyps. these polyps can block the nasal passages, leading to difficulty breathing, sinus pressure, and a decrease in the sense of smell.
