Nasal polyps 'behind the scenes' has been uncovered, these 7 incentives, each of which is 'not easy to mess with'
Nasal polyps are common diseases of the nose. They are tissue edema caused by the long-term inflammatory reaction of the nasal mucosa. If no effective treatment is given, the polyps will grow rapidly, crush the sinus walls or the top wall of the nasal cavity, and even bring about other complications. , What is the cause of nasal polyps? Let's find out together.
- Damp heat retardation
Due to the invasion of damp-heat evil toxins, the lung meridian is full of heat, and the lung qi cannot be properly ventilated.
- Lung qi deficiency and cold
When the lung qi is deficient and cold, the resistance decreases, and it is easy to be invaded by wind and cold, which blocks the nasal cavity, causing a large amount of body fluid to accumulate in the nasal orifices, and over time, polyps are formed.
- Chronic infection
When suffering from chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, the nasal mucosa is stimulated by purulent secretions for a long time, resulting in thrombophlebitis, and lymphatic return is hindered, resulting in edema of the nasal mucosa and eventually the formation of nasal polyps.
- Allergies
Nasal polyps are the result of allergies. Allergies in the nose increase the permeability of small blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, and at the same time increase plasma exudation, causing edema of the nasal mucosa. The edematous nasal mucosa sags due to gravity, eventually forming polyps.
- Affected by bacteria
Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacteria in the nasal cavity. Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin will activate a large number of B cells and mast cells in the nasal mucosa of the nasal passages, allowing them to synthesize and release a large number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby aggravating the local inflammatory response in the nasal passages and promoting the formation of polyps.
- The surface of the nasal mucosa is damaged
Because of the damage to the surface of the nasal mucosa and epithelial shedding caused by some factors, fibroblasts can proliferate, fibroblasts can promote the growth of mast cells, and mast cells can cause the release of inflammatory mediators, resulting in the formation of nasal polyps due to persistent inflammatory responses.
- Affected by drugs
The occurrence of nasal polyps is closely related to bronchial asthma and aspirin intolerance. Patients with aspirin intolerance are prone to bronchial asthma and nasal polyps because the drug interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism.
Most nasal polyps are secondary or complication of various diseases, so it is necessary to actively treat various primary diseases. Keep the air in the living room fresh, avoid eating spicy and irritating food, and clean the nasal cavity frequently. Patients should take part in more physical exercises to enhance their physique and wash their face with cold water as much as possible. Change clothes according to the weather to reduce the number of colds. Keep away from highly polluted environments, prevent polluted dust and toxic gases, and cause long-term irritation to the pharynx and nasal cavity. The bad habit of picking your nostrils with your hands must be avoided. This bad habit can cause nasal infections, and you cannot blindly rely on vasoconstrictors.
