Is there a relationship between vocal cord polyps and the lungs?
Disease description:
I've had vocal cord polyps for a long time, and I feel like my voice is getting worse. I'd like to ask, are vocal cord polyps related to the lungs?
Vocal cord polyps are not closely related to the lungs. Vocal cord polyps mainly result from prolonged improper voice use or excessive vocal strain, leading to mucosal congestion and edema; over time, this can develop into vocal cord polyps. It is important to correct unhealthy voice habits, avoid spicy foods, and refrain from staying up late. Medications such as clarithromycin dispersible tablets and Jinsong Liyan Pills may be taken under a doctor's guidance for treatment. Therefore, the development of vocal cord polyps has little connection with the lungs.
