Growth rate of pharyngeal polyps

The growth rate of pharyngeal polyps cannot be specifically determined and is related to the individual’s constitution, treatment measures, and irritating factors. Laryngeal polyps mostly refer to vocal polyps, which may be caused by a variety of reasons such as chronic inflammation, excessive occurrence, vocal friction, chemical gases, etc. Hoarseness, inflammation of the vocal cords, edema and other symptoms may occur, and if left untreated and kept in bad voice habits, the polyps will gradually increase in size. If the polyp is relatively small, it can be improved by correcting bad voice habits, proper vocal training, and some patients can also be treated with glucocorticoid nebulizer inhalation. If it is more serious or the effect of conservative treatment is not good, it can be surgically removed. Keep good voice habits, avoid excessive chemical gas inhalation, eat more food with high vitamin content, such as vegetables and fruits, and prohibit smoking and alcohol may slow down the growth of polyp tissue to a certain extent.
