Hình ảnh
In recent Nasal Polyps Treatment study , the primary and secondary symptoms reported by patients in this study could be broadly categorized into nasal, sinus, breathing, mouth/throat, cough, vocal, head/facial, ear, ocular, and allergy-like symptoms. The primary symptoms of nasal polyps to emerge from these qualitative interviews were consistent with those found within the broader published research literature as well as social media sources, with nasal congestion being the consistent symptom reported across all interviews and sources. Recent studies have also identified the importance of nasal congestion or obstruction, nasal drip, and loss of smell in patients with CRS with nasal polyps.  Building on the identification of symptoms as relevant to the population with nasal polyps, participants in the current study discussed their symptoms in terms of frequency, duration, and severity, providing an in-depth understanding of the symptomatology, the specific characteristics of which w...

   A total of 26 of 27 (96.3%) participants discussed the factors they considered before deciding to go ahead with surgery for nasal polyps .

2 Symptoms of Nasal Polyps ( New Study )

Hình ảnh
  In recent study, Nasal congestion (relating to blocked nasal passages) and dif¬ficulty breathing through the nose were the most common primary symptoms, experienced by 27 of 27 (100%) participants.. Most primary symptoms were reported to occur intermittently, with the exception of nasal congestion, which was reported to be constantly present by 19 of 26 (73.1%) participants. The reported duration of symptoms varied, ranging from minutes, hours, or days for nasal congestion and difficulty breathing through the nose; to weeks or years for postnasal drip, runny nose, loss of smell, and head/facial pressure; and "until treatment received” for loss of taste. As expected, given that the population had severe nasal polyps, all primary symptoms were described as severe or moderate by most participants (see Appendix Table 4 in Supplemental Materials . The most frequently reported secondary symptoms were mucus/catarrh and nose bleeds, reported by 20 (74.1%) partici¬pants each, and cough a...
