Understanding Vocal Cord Polyps]
Vocal cord polyps are soft, noncancerous growths that develop on one or both of the vocal cords. They are often caused by vocal abuse, such as excessive talking, shouting, or singing, and can also result from other factors like smoking, allergies, or respiratory infections. Polyps can vary in size and may appear as a swelling, bump, or blister-like lesion.
Symptoms of Vocal Cord Polyps
- Hoarseness: Persistent rough, raspy, or breathy voice.
- Voice Fatigue: Increased effort needed to speak, leading to tiredness
- Pitch Changes: Difficulty controlling pitch, often resulting in a lower or uneven tone.
- Voice Breaks: Unintentional breaks or gaps in the voice.
- Throat Discomfort: Sensation of something being stuck in the throat or a constant need to clear the throat.
- Reduced Vocal Range: Limited ability to reach high or low notes, particularly for singers.
