Nasal Tumor

When a growth of tissue appears inside the nose, it is called a nasal tumor. This term covers different types of masses, which can be benign or of another nature, and require study to determine their origin.

Signs that may appear: persistent nasal obstruction on one side, frequent bleeding, drainage, or changes in the sense of smell.

When should you see a doctor? It's reasonable to seek evaluation when there is congestion that doesn't improve, repeated bleeding, or a sensation of a lump inside the nose.

The otolaryngologist is the specialist who evaluates conditions of the nose and upper respiratory tract and determines the necessary tests. When nasal symptoms don't go away, the most prudent thing is to have a professional examine the area and guide the next steps.
