10 Symptoms of Nasal Polyps

Symptom #5: Lost Sense of Smell
Our sense of smell tells us so much about the world around us. It is common for us to smell different objects, including food, to get as much information about them as possible. Our sense of smell also has a very strong connection with our memory, and just the slightest of aromas can stir memories of days gone by.
We get our sense of smell thanks to organs that are located in the nasal cavity. As such, if the nasal passage was blocked, then our ability to smell objects can be impeded. Patients should hopefully regain their sense of smell once the polyps have been successfully treated.
