Treatment for Vocal Cord Disorders
Treatment for Vocal Cord Disorders
Vocal cord disorders caused by abuse or misuse are easily preventable. In addition, most disorders of the vocal cords can be reversed.
Specific treatment for vocal cord disorders will be determined by your physician based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent and type of vocal cord disorder
- Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the disease
- Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include any of the following:
- Eliminating the behavior that caused the vocal cord disorder
- A referral to a speech-language pathologist who has specialized training in treating voice, speech, language, or swallowing disorders that affect communication
- Medication
- Surgery to remove growths
