Scleroderma is a condition that occurs in the vocal cords. It is mainly due

to excessive use of voice such as talking loudly and talking a lot for a
long time. If the disease is not detected and treated in time, it can cause
many dangerous complications and greatly affect the patient's daily life
and work.

1. What is laryngitis?
Normally the vocal cords are located between the base of the tongue and
the windpipe. The larynx can be called the vocal box because it contains
the vocal cords. The muscles of the larynx stretch and stretch when
breathing, causing them to form a V-shape to allow air to pass through.
Inflammation of the vocal cords is a condition in which the throat is
damaged in the vocal cords. This is a common disease in people who
have to use their voice with a constant and dense frequency. Laryngitis is
usually a small mass, symmetrically growing in the middle third of the
vocal cords on both sides.

2. How dangerous is laryngitis?

Usually, laryngitis leads to hoarseness, heavy vocalization, shortness of
breath, speaking with effort. If the patient has a sore throat, a cold, or
screams too loudly, it will make the hoarseness worse. In addition, the
disease, if not detected and treated in time, can cause many dangerous
complications of laryngitis in patients such as:
Loss of voice: When laryngitis is at a high level In severe cases,
hoarseness often becomes more serious, they will lose their voice,
cannot communicate, affect their work, study and life. Swollen throat:
Patients with laryngitis will often experience throat swelling, when
swallowing food, there will be a distinct pain. At a more severe stage,
hoarseness will be severe and appear continuously, more dangerously,
blood will appear in the sputum, the neck will grow more and more lymph
nodes. Affecting the quality of work, especially for those whose work has
to use voice, it inadvertently reduces work performance, sometimes many
people have to quit because they cannot meet the requirements.
Laryngeal fibrosis not only affects communication, but also has the risk of
causing many other dangerous complications such as polyps of the vocal
cords, airway complications, papillomas, laryngeal hemorrhage... It can
be seen that the dangerous complications of laryngitis greatly affect the
patient's daily life and work. Therefore, if there are symptoms of
laryngitis, the patient should immediately go to a specialist clinic to avoid
the disease getting worse, making it difficult to treat.

3. Causes of laryngitis
There are many causes of laryngitis, including:
Chronic laryngitis is not completely treated. People who have to talk a
lot, speak loudly, and talk continuously for many hours such as teachers,
salespeople, and presentations because the vocal cords have to work a
lot. Alcoholics and smokers are also at high risk for this disease.
Suffering from pharyngitis, chronic sinusitis or prolonged
gastroesophageal reflux disease.

4. Diagnosis and treatment of laryngitis

4.1. Diagnosis of laryngitis Hoarseness, at first appearing only when
talking a lot, tired, then continuous hoarseness. When fibrous seeds are
small, do not speak, hoarseness can be reduced, when fibrous seeds are
large, hoarseness is more frequent. There is no breath. Laryngoscopy to
confirm the diagnosis: + At first, one side of the vocal cords in the
posterior third can have bulging seeds without obvious white fibers.
+ After always see at the free edge, both vocal cords have small, opaque
white sesame seeds.
+ A little sticky mucus can be seen in the glottis on the vocal cords.
Inflammation of the larynx affects the quality of vibration of the vocal
cords, causing murmurs, creating a glottic cleft, causing a lot of air to
escape, and getting tired very quickly. 4.2. Treatment of laryngitis
laryngitis Medical treatment: When the vocal cord fibroids are small, the
doctor usually prescribes the patient to use a group of anti-inflammatory
drugs, antibiotics, gargle with physiological saline, combined with
avoiding loud speech. , drink cold water, smoke, alcohol and chemicals,
prevent dry throat,...
However, the treatment method for upper laryngitis only helps to reduce
the symptoms, but cannot solve the root of the fibrous matter. That is, the
disease is easy to recur.
Surgical treatment: In case of large fibrous granules, the doctor usually
assigns the patient to laparoscopic dissection, returning the soft
vibration of the vocal cords.
After surgery for laryngitis, hoarseness may recur, so the patient needs to
limit speaking for a while for the larynx to recover. In case the patient
has to often talk a lot, the patient should use sound aids to amplify the
voice.
In addition, vocal training is an important method after surgery to help
soften and supple vocal cords and improve voice quality. The practice of
pronunciation needs the patient's will and the supervision of an
otolaryngologist to regain a clear voice.

acid reflux, chronic tonsillitis. When hoarseness is detected, limit
speaking loudly, or stop talking for a few days. In addition, sleeping on
time is also a way to increase resistance and limit the formation of vocal
cord fibers. For those who are already sick and receiving treatment, it is
necessary to take measures to prevent recurrence by practicing
