  1. Voice Disorders - Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment - Specialty Care Clinics

  2. What are Voice Disorders? People develop voice problems for a number of reasons. Doctors who specialize in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders and speech pathology specialists are involved in diagnosing and treating voice disorders. Treatment depends on what is causing your voice disorder but might include voice therapy, medication, injections, or surgery.

  3. Causes of Voice Disorder Your voice box (larynx) is made up of cartilage, muscle, and mucous membranes situated at the top of your windpipe (trachea) and the bottom of your tongue. Your vocal cords are two flexible bands of muscle tissue that lie at the entrance of the windpipe. Sound is generated when your vocal cords vibrate. This vibration comes from the air moving through the larynx, bringing your vocal cords closer to each other. Your vocal cords also help close your voice box when you swallow, stoping you from inhaling food or fluid. If your vocal cords become swollen, develop growths, or become paralyzed, they cannot work properly, and you might develop a voice disorder.

  4. Risk factors Voice Disorder Many risk factors could contribute to a voice disorder, including: Aging Alcohol use Allergies Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Illnesses, like colds or upper respiratory infections Improper throat-clearing over a long time Neurological disorders Psychological stress Scarring caused by neck surgery or from trauma to the front of the neck Get More Details Information Click Here
