Do Nasal Polyps Need to Be Removed? 

Polyps are growths that occur in various parts of the body, including the colon, ear canal, stomach, and nose. Even though most polyps are benign, they are still carefully monitored and usually removed since any type of abnormal cell growth can eventually lead to cancer. Polyps can also cause difficulty when breathing, chronic stuffiness, postnasal drip, and even pain your face and teeth. So even in cases where the polyp isn’t malignant, you may want to remove them for quality of life issues.
