How long should one rest their voice for vocal cord polyps?
Vocal cord polyps are a common and frequent disease in otolaryngology. The main symptoms of vocal cord polyps in patients are usually hoarseness and vocal fatigue. Diagnosis can be confirmed through examination methods such as electronic laryngoscopy or indirect laryngoscopy. The primary treatment for vocal cord polyps is surgical removal of the polyp tissue to restore normal vocal function. After the surgery for vocal cord polyps, it is generally recommended that patients refrain from speaking for three to four weeks to promote the repair of the vocal cord mucosa and avoid congestion and swelling of the local mucosa due to excessive voicing or overuse, which can affect the recovery time or degree of recovery and are likely to lead to recurrence in patients.
