After surgery for vocal cord polyps, patients generally need to adjust their diet, ensure adequate sleep every day, and regulate the strength of their voice. Usually, patients should speak slowly or whisper for more than a month after the operation, avoiding loud noises. In daily life, they should avoid excessive fatigue and prolonged talking.
