Organic Voice Disorder (Vocal Nodules, Cysts, and Laryngectomy)

Understanding Organic Voice Disorders
Organic voice disorders refer to conditions that affect the vocal folds and lead to voice quality changes, discomfort, and difficulty in speaking. Common types include vocal nodules, cysts, and complications arising from laryngectomy. At SMART Hearing & Child Development Center (SHCDC) in Madinaguda, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various organic voice disorders to restore optimal vocal function

Types of Organic Voice Disorders

1. Vocal Nodules
   Often referred to as "teacher's nodules," vocal nodules are callous-like growths on the vocal cords caused by excessive vocal strain or misuse. Symptoms may include hoarseness, breathiness, and a reduction in vocal range.
2. Vocal Cysts
   These are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the vocal cords due to various factors, including vocal abuse or irritation. They can cause similar symptoms to nodules, often resulting in voice fatigue and discomfort.
3. Laryngectomy
   This surgical procedure involves the removal of the larynx (voice box), usually due to cancer. Post-laryngectomy, patients may experience significant changes in their ability to speak and require specialized rehabilitation.

Symptoms of Organic Voice Disorders

- Hoarseness or roughness in the voice
- Breathiness or a weak voice
- Voice fatigue after speaking
- Pain or discomfort in the throat
- Difficulty reaching high or low pitches
- Changes in voice quality or loss of voice
