Can vocal cord polyps be cured by taking medicine?
Voice polyps are ineffective treated with medication; patients require local surgical excision for a cure. Common causes of vocal cord polyps include prolonged improper use of the voice, shouting loudly, and excessive fatigue, leading to pathological changes in the vocal cord mucosa. This condition causes persistent hoarseness in the patient, progressively worsening over time. During an examination with an electronic laryngoscope, a smooth, pale white or pale red neoplasm can be observed on the anterior-middle third of one vocal cord. The area is soft, painless, and may cause incomplete closure of the vocal cords. Regarding treatment, medication is ineffective for vocal cord polyps, and patients need to undergo polyp removal surgery under a supporting laryngoscope. The surgery requires hospitalization, general anesthesia, and patients typically recover and are discharged about one week post-operation. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
