Self-checking for vocal cord polyps can generally be done by observing physical symptoms. When a patient experiences difficulty swallowing or changes in their voice, it may indicate the presence of a vocal cord polyp. A visit to a general hospital for a comprehensive examination can confirm whether vocal cords and polyps are present. Polyps develop on the vocal cords and can significantly affect the patient. The main symptoms of this condition include difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and throat discomfort.
