What are the hazards of vocal cord polyps?
Vocal nodules and vocal polyps are both a type of chronic laryngitis, and their etiology is the same as chronic laryngitis. Polyps are mostly unilateral, single and multiple, with wide pedicles, often gray and translucent, with small red protrusions. Pedicle often moves up and down with breathing, which will block glottis, make breathing difficult and affect pronunciation. The lethal power of vocal cord polyps lies in sudden canceration. However, many patients with polyps have no discomfort, develop unconsciously and become cancerous unconsciously after canceration, which is also the most feared feature of polyps.
