Nasal polyps are soft, noncancerous growths that form in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses due to chronic inflammation. While often painless, they can lead to persistent nasal congestion, diminished sense of smell, postnasal drip, and frequent sinus infections. At ENT New York, we specialize in diagnosing and managing nasal polyps with a combination of medical and, when necessary, surgical options.
Polyps often develop in patients with allergies, asthma, or chronic sinusitis. Dr. Vandana Kumra performs thorough evaluations—including nasal endoscopy and imaging—to assess the extent of the polyps and guide treatment. Initial management typically involves corticosteroid sprays or oral medications to shrink the polyps and reduce inflammation. For patients with recurrent or severe polyps, surgical removal via endoscopic sinus surgery may be recommended.
Dr. Kumra also offers advanced biologic therapies like Dupixent or Nucala, which target underlying inflammation in polyp-prone individuals. If you’ve been struggling with persistent congestion, sinus infections, or smell loss, ENT New York offers modern solutions to help you breathe and feel better.
