Nasal polyps are a common otolaryngological condition, primarily formed due to chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity in patients, or stimulation from smoking, drinking, and physicochemical factors of air pollution, leading to the proliferation of tissues in the nasal cavity and sinuses. The main symptoms caused by nasal polyps include nasal congestion, runny nose, headaches, and nasal bleeding. The most effective treatment for nasal polyps is functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which involves the removal of the proliferative polyp tissues, thereby restoring normal ventilation and physiological functions to the nasal cavity and improving the patient's symptoms.
