Vocal cord polyps are benign neoplasms that occur on the vocal cords. They protrude from the surface of the vocal cords. Generally, after the occurrence of vocal cord polyps, surgical treatment is performed to remove them, as vocal cord polyps can cause hoarseness, affecting our work, and impacting our career and life. Severe vocal cord polyps, if not treated, can lead to repeated friction between the vocal cords, which may even result in the potential malignancy. Of course, vocal cord polyps severely affect our voice quality, causing hoarseness and in severe cases lead to voice loss, causing a sensation of air leakage when we speak. In summary, vocal cord polyps can lead to loss of voice.
