Sinusitis disease should not be taken lightly. Sufferers can experience tremendous pain if symptoms are emerging. The disease can become chronic and the trigger is a protein compounds. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found a protein causes polyp and chronic sinus. The protein is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

When sinusitis symptoms appear, will appear irritation and swelling in a long time in the nose channel. The growth of polyp is a condition of excessive sinus tissue and close the channel and causing the nose breathing difficulties. This condition will cause pain, headache, and infection if left in a long time.

When sinusitis and polyp in chronic conditions, patients do not breath through nose but the mouth. They will experience shortness of breath and their face looked red and swollen. There is VEGF, which is a protein that stimulates the growth of blood vessels that trigger cell growth causes polyp.

According to the researchers, the target of this protein found is in the treatment that will be performed on the patient, through intensive therapy. All this to overcome the polyp, the patient had surgery to remove sinus tissue growth. Sometimes steroid is given orally to overcome the difficulty breathing, but it has side effects dangerous enough.
