Contact Ulcers
Contact Ulcers
Contact ulcers on the vocal cords can occur when too much force is used in speech. When the vocal cords are excessively forced together, ulcerated sores may occur. Tissue may also wear away on or near the larynx cartilages. Ulcers sometimes are also caused by gastroesophageal reflux. Contact ulcers may cause the voice to tire easily and may cause a sore throat.
