Sinusitis Ear: Nasal Polyps- a Primer
#1
Music 
[size=4][b]Sinusitis Ear - Nasal Polyps- a Primer[/b][/size][hr]Nasal polyps are a well known cause of sinus pressure and pain and occur in the nasal and sinus passages of many people. Chronic sinus sufferers may have anatomical obstructions in their nasal and sinus cavities, and nasal polyps are one of the most common of these. This article will briefly discuss the causes and effects of having nasal polyps.

[size=large][b]Should be Noted that Nasal Irrigation is Not Recommended for People With Nasal Polyps[/b][/size][hr]This is because the pressure from the nasal irrigation procedure can be traumatic in that the fluid stream of saline solution would be pushing against the sensitive and exposed tissue of the polyp. There are many varieties of Sinus Treatment found today. However, we have stuck to the description of only one variety to prevent confusion!

Some physicians say that polyps are more likely to grow in people who also suffer from asthma. Dr. M. Lee Williams in his book entitled 'The Sinusitis Help Book' writes: 'It is often surprising how many asthmatics with sinusitis already have, or eventually go on to develop, nasal or sinus polyps, and how much improvement in their asthma may sometimes result from removing the polyps and clearing up their obstructive sinus disease.' He continues: 'Unfortunately, even after polyps have been removed, more than one-third of the patients with nasal polyps will have a recurrence of them, and this is especially true for those with superimposed allergy, frequent sinus infections, repeated colds, asthma, cystic fibrosis, or aspirin intolerance.'

[list][*]Nasal polyps can often be controlled using mediations, especially corticosteroid medications like prednisone or steroid sprays.[*]If the polyps cannot be controlled by medication, surgery might be necessary.[*]In some patients who have polyps, no blockage occurs and in such cases many doctors will choose to forego surgery.[*]Unfortunately, polyps have a strong tendency to return after they have been surgically removed. Smile[/list]

As is the case with other anatomical obstructions in the nasal cavities such as swollen turbinates or cysts, nasal polyps often cause blockage and can result in chronic sinus infections. Sinus sufferers should consult their physicians and have them determine if they have nasal or sinus polyps, and seek appropriate treatment. Fortunately nasal polyps can often be treated successfully with medications alone and surgery is not always a necessity. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Nasal Polyps. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

[size=large][b]Doctors are Not 100% Certain What the Precise Causes of Nasal Polyps are[/b][/size][hr]In general it is thought that chronic inflammation in the nasal cavities can cause polyps to grow, often resulting in blockage of the sinus passages and resulting in infections. In addition, it appears that aspirin intolerance also seems to increase the likelihood of nasal polyps. Men over 40 years of age are more prone to develop polyps than are women or people in other age groups, unless asthma is a concurrent condition. It is not believed that allergies are the main cause of polyp growth since they occur in just as many people who do not have nasal allergies as in those who do. :o.

Polyps are not a separate growth, as is a tumor, and they consist of the same tissue as does their surrounding areas. The polyp tissue can contain cilia and secrete mucous, but sometimes the tissue hardens and flattens and the cilia are lost due to chronic infection or from being irritated by constant exposure to the nasal air stream. Writing on Sinus proved to be a gamble to us. This is because there simply seemed to be nothing to write about in the beginning of writing. It was only in the process of writing did we get more and more to write on Sinus.

The Laryngoscope, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, recently published the results of an American study that surveyed 211 patients with different nasal inflammatory conditions, including allergies. The study concluded that the daily use of nasal cleansing with salt water significantly improved many of the parameters of experienced discomfort. It also revealed that nasal irrigation has the potential to improve overall quality of life and is a cost-effective treatment.

Quote:Maroney recommends that after using the neti pot, users may like to do the following simple exercise before blowing their nose: lean forward from the hips and waist, head hanging down, and turn your head from side to side.

[size=large][b]At One Point or Another in Our Lives, Each One of Us Must Have Suffered from Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]This is a health condition that involves the inflammation of the body sinuses and the air pathways that are around it. When this happens, the lining covering the surfaces of these sinuses swell up and cause a blockage in the air passages. As a result of it, air is not allowed to freely flow to the sinuses.This makes a person breathe with difficulty and in the process, pain is felt in areas where sinuses are situated.Severe headaches follow up together with nasal congestion. Mucus produced by the mucous glands get to accumulate inside the nostrils because the swelling up of the sinus lining makes the celia movements to slow down and this makes it difficult to wash away the mucus and thus increasing the breathing problem even further.

The other type of sinusitis is known as Chronic sinusitis.It is mainly caused by allergens (factors that trigger allergic reactions in the body) such as pollen,dust and mold.These allergens can easily be inhaled since they are airborne and are able to trigger a set of body reactions that may in the long run produce body compounds such as histamine.With histamine around the nasal cells, reactions which include swelling up of the lining surfaces of both sinuses and air passages occur thus making breathing to be a difficult thing to undertake. This action makes the person to be subjected to the sinusitis symptoms mentioned above. However, chronic sinusitis often attacks people who have diseases that harm the immune system such as AIDS. Unlike, acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis takes a longer time to heal and this may mean that the patient has to wait for several years for it to clear. Doctors usually prescribe oral steroids for their patients whenever they notice that they are not responding to other forms of medicine.When the patients also appear not to be responding to the steroids, surgery may be the only option out of this type of sinusitis. There are universal applications on Acute Sinusitis everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.

[size=large][b]This Type of Sinusitis,is Believed to be the Milder Version of Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]It is precipitated by an earlier viral infection in the upper respiratory tract. After the viruses damage the cells found on the surface tissues in the tract, bacteria such as Streptococcus and Haemophilus influenza get an opportunity to colonize these cells.They make them not to function as needed and as a result,the cells swell up and bring about air blockage in the tract. This minimizes chances of air reaching the sinuses hence subjecting the patient to all sorts of symptoms that go hand in hand with sinusitis.Something good about this type of sinusitis is that,it takes a short period of time for it to clear up. Natural remedies such as drinking of hot liquids may be used to treat acute sinusitis. As you progress deeper and deeper into this composition on Nasal Congestion, you are sure to unearth more information on Nasal Congestion.

Other symptoms that accompany sinusitis include nasal discharge that appears to be thick and yellow or greenish in color. This discharge resembles pus that is usually released when a person suffers from an infection. As if all this is not enough, fever sometimes is also experienced by the patient. Sinusitis is mainly caused by living microorganisms such as fungi,viruses and in most cases,bacteria falls as the main victim here.However, viruses and bacteria are said to be mostly responsible for the occurrence of one type of sinusitis known as Acute sinusitis.
