Vocal cord polyp Vocal cord polyps are benign lesions that are generally unilateral. Their shape can be classified as sessile or peduncular, and their histological characteristics as gelatinous or translucent, fibrous or organized, and angiomatous or hemorrhagic. The origin of the vocal cord polyp is phonotraumatic. Other irritating processes, however, may contribute to the emergence of polyps, such as gastroesophageal reflux, smoking, aspiration of aggressive chemical substances, or intense respiratory activities. The main signs and symptoms in individuals with vocal fold polyps are hoarseness or breathiness and vocal fatigue. Surgery is normally adopted for vocal cord polyp. However, some recent studies demonstrated the importance of speech therapy as a primary treatment of polyps, with total or partial lesion regression, followed by surgery when the lesions are persistent or if the patients are dissatisfied with their vocal quality. https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEIMp_P_-52SlidzHg
