What should be paid attention to with vocal cord polyps in daily life?
Vocal cord polyps require careful protection of the vocal cords, as the common causes of vocal cord polyps are often due to patients frequently speaking loudly, over-shouting, improper use of their voice, or long-term spicy and irritating diet, and acid reflux irritation, resulting in diffuse congestion, edema, and proliferation of the vocal cord mucosa, leading to vocal cord polyps. These can cause the patient to experience persistent hoarseness, which progressively worsens. Patients need to visit a hospital for an examination with an electronic laryngoscope, which can reveal an abnormal neoplasm at the anterior middle third of one vocal cord, appearing pale white or pale red, soft, and painless. Vocal cord polyps require local surgical removal for treatment and can be cured. After surgery, patients also need to completely rest their voice for a week, and combined with nebulized inhalation therapy, improvement can gradually occur, avoiding recurrent attacks.
