Advice for Vocal Fold Hemorrhagic Polyp
Hello people! I am a professional singer and a vocal coach, unfortunately I just got diagnosed with a vocal fold haemorrhage polyp on my left vocal fold. It happened in the same spot of 2 previous haemorrhage over the last two years.
I saw 2 ENTs. One recommended I speak normally with reduced vocal load, and consider surgery or speech therapy. He said the timeline for speech therapy will be longer (6 months) and I’ll be unable to perform during then. Another ENT asked me to be on complete voice rest for 2-4 weeks, wait for the polyp to go away then he can laser away the vessel or scar.
Both advices are very contradictory and very confusing. I’d like to get a second opinion from anyone who has experience before making a decision, so any thoughts or sharing are really appreciated! Thank you all!!!
