Vocal cord polyp

Vocal cord polyps are gray-white, smooth polyp-like tissues that occur on the front middle edge of one vocal cord, mostly single or multiple on one side, pediced or broad-based, often grayish-white translucent, or small red protrusion People with pedicure often move up and down with breathing, and the larger ones can block the glottis and have difficulty breathing, affecting pronunciation. The location is mostly at the junction of the front middle third of the vocal cords. Generally, children with vocal nodules can not be treated for the time being. Adults with nodules or polyps usually need surgery to be treated. After the operation, the sound should be routinely banned and nebulization treatment can be done. At the same time, pay attention to the pronunciation method and avoid excessive vocalization to prevent recurrence.
