Vocal Cord Surgery to Change the Voice

Changes in the voice from vocal cord surgery are likely caused by the voice not fully recovering. Most people will need about 30 days to return to their previous normal state.

Vocal cord surgery is usually suitable for patients with vocal cord nodules, vocal cord fibromas and vocal cord keratosis. Surgical methods include vocal cord nodule resection. After vocal cord surgery, most patients will have some changes in their voice in the early stage, such as hoarseness and other symptoms. Pay attention to nursing measures, such as regular wound disinfection, eat more light and nutritious foods, and avoid eating irritating foods, such as peppers or mustard, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on voice recovery.

Vocal cord surgery will not change the patient's voice. When the voice is hoarse, try not to speak loudly to avoid some adverse effects. In the early period after the operation, you should eat more liquid or semi-liquid food, such as millet porridge, soy milk, etc., and you can return to your previous normal diet after 7 days. During the recovery period, you should also maintain a happy mood and avoid excessive tension or anxiety. In addition, you should keep the temperature in the living room appropriate to avoid catching a cold due to cold.

In addition, you should go to the hospital for regular checkups to observe the recovery of the disease. For patients with malignant tumors in the vocal cords, comprehensive treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy should be carried out in the later stages.
