Dr Ronald Chin’s Look At Vocal Folds Polyps

In this disorder, the benign fluids collect on the vocal folds. This is most common for male adults. It’s mostly unilateral, but it can also be bilateral.

The causes of this can be vocal overuse and chronic inflammation. It could lead to capillary damage in the subepithelial space.

Its symptoms are hoarseness, aphonia, and cough. Pedunculated or sessile polyps on the vocal cord are conducted to investigate it.

Its treatment involves voice therapy and microsurgical removal.
