Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths that develop inside the nasal passages or sinuses due to long-standing inflammation. They can block airflow and sinus drainage, leading to persistent nasal symptoms and breathing difficulty.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to prevent recurrence and complications.
