Recently, I've been constantly feeling nasal congestion and difficulty breathing. When rinsing my nose, I can even feel a fleshy mass inside. I'm afraid it might be a nasal tumor, so I'd like to know: what are the symptoms of nasal tumors?

Nasal tumors typically do not cause obvious symptoms in the early stages. As the tumor grows, it may be touched during nasal cleaning, leading to nosebleeds. If the tumor continues to enlarge and blocks the nostril, nasal congestion may occur, resembling symptoms of a common cold. When the tumor compresses surrounding tissues, additional symptoms such as headache, tinnitus, or even pus-like nasal discharge may develop. If any of these symptoms appear, prompt medical evaluation and treatment are recommended.
