What Is The Ball Like Substance Which Came Out While Blowing Nose After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

I had an endoscopic sinus surgery about a month ago which hasn t seemed to do all that much to alleviate my problems, but I blew my nose this morning and a white substance in the shape of a ball came out. It looked almost like a piece of regurgitated food? Any clue what that might be?

WELCOME TO HCM.
IT TAKES AROUND 1-1/2 MONTH TO GET RELIEVED AFTER SINUS SURGERY.THIS IS THE TIME, OUR NOSE TAKES TO HEAL AFTER SURGERY. TILL THEN U MAY GET THICK, WHITE COLOURED OR RED TINGED CRUSTS OR SECRETIONS FROM UR NOSE. NOSE BLOCK WILL ALSO GO IN DUE COURSE OF TIME. DONT GIV UP THINKING THAT THE SURGERY HAS NOT WORKED FOR U. U WILL START FEELING BETTER, ONCE UR DOCTOR STARTS UR ANTIALLERGICMEDICATIONS AFTER 6 WEEKS.
