Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths that develop in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses due to chronic inflammation. They can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, loss of smell, and recurrent sinus infections. Treatment may involve medications like corticosteroids to shrink the polyps or surgery to remove them if they obstruct airflow.
Poor sleep isn’t always caused by stress or lifestyle habits.
