Vocal Cord Paralysis - What Could Be The Causes & How To Deal With Them?
Vocal cord paralysis, also known as the vocal cord paresis, which means, the inability of one or both vocal cords to move. It can greatly impact the daily life of the sufferer, including their job, social interactions and their leisure time activities.
The condition is caused by damage to nerves going to the vocal cords-the nerve impulses in the larynx are interrupted, resulting in the paralysis of the vocal cord muscles.
Patients with vocal paralysis typically experience hoarseness, raspiness, vocal fatigue, mild to a severe reduction in speech volume, a pain in the throat when speaking, and choking while swallowing.
Signs and symptoms of vocal cord paralysis include:
• Changes in the voice
• Hoarseness and raspiness
• Noisy Breathing
• Changes in the vocal pitch
• Coughs that do not clear the throat properly
• Diminished voice volume
