Yes, it is possible to blow a polyp out your nose, because I did it. Two years ago I had a sinus infection that was producing a lot of glop, and I had to blow my nose quite forcefully to clear the stuff. I'd noticed for some time that when I blew my nose hard I felt and odd, vibrating sensation high in my nose, but I'd decided it was my imagination.

That day, as I honked and honked, the vibrating sensation became briefly painful, and then was gone. Instead, there was something blocking my nostril. After a few more blows, something solid shot into the tissues I was holding to my nose.

I looked at what it was (couldn't help myself) and saw a pale, translucent nugget shaped like a small lima bean with a minute stalklike bump on one edge. A single, hair-thin blood vessel traced across it from the bump. It had the texture of a pencil eraser, and when I tried to break it, it simply flexed.

I felt a trickle from my nose, and in the mirror I saw a bit of blood dribble from one nostril. Then it stopped.

I thought about having someone look at it, but I knew enough about tumors etc. at that time to know nothing dangerous would have such a minute blood supply. So I chucked it.

At my next doctor's visit a couple months later I asked about it and my doctor said it was a polyp, there's nothing else that would match the description.

Blowing your nose may remove some mucus, but it is unlikely to dislodge a polyp. Polyps are growths that are attached to the lining of the nose or sinuses. If you suspect you have a nasal polyp, it's important to see a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
