How is vocal cord atrophy caused?

  Vocal cord atrophy refers to the atrophy of the vocal cords and the muscles of the vocal cords. Once the vocal cords have atrophied, the vocal cords tend to close tightly when we are vocalizing, so the patient will easily feel tired when speaking and the voice will become hoarse, which in turn will cause the patient to be unable to reach the high and low pitches at the right time when working or singing.  Generally speaking, this is not known and is not related to the use of the voice. The atrophy of the vocal folds and the muscles of the vocal folds causes the vocal folds to close tightly when we speak, so the patient tends to feel tired of speaking and the voice becomes hoarse, which in turn causes the patient to be unable to reach the high and low pitches in time when working or singing. Some teachers or singers who often speak hard may suffer from vocal cord aging after middle age, or from long-term vocal misconduct. The frequency of these patients is the same for men and women, and there is no specific group.
