Warning Signs Of Nasal Polyps

Nosebleeds

Nosebleeds irritate the nose and can also be the result of preexisting nasal irritation. One of the symptoms of sinus infections, for example, is more frequent nosebleeds. Additionally, nasal polyps will further irritate the nasal passages, so it makes sense that this also increases how many nosebleeds individuals will experience.

The reason nosebleeds occur frequently due to nasal polyps is because the nose has many fragile blood vessels in it. Even slight irritation can break these blood vessels and trigger bleeding. Nasal polyps are usually present if individuals start having nosebleeds after a few weeks of inflammation in the nose, or if they suddenly start occurring more often.
