Top 10 Chinese medicines for treating polyps

Hoarseness is common. One of the most common causes of hoarseness is vocal cord polyps. However, the degree of hoarseness cannot be quantified. There is no standard for whether the vocal cord polyps are large or small. Therefore, there are certain differences in the treatment of vocal cord polyps in different hospitals and between different doctors. In addition to the medical level of the doctor, it is also related to medical equipment, the current diagnosis and treatment system, and medical advertisements.

Hospital selection: Currently, hospitals are divided into non-profit hospitals (Grade 3 hospitals, which actually try their best to be profitable because the government subsidies are too little and the doctors' income comes from the workload. When the number of patients is not enough, the scope of surgical treatment will be relaxed, and polyps that can be treated conservatively will also be treated surgically) and profit hospitals (private hospitals, profitability may be put first because the investment must have returns). The difference between the two: tertiary hospitals are non-profit hospital outpatient clinics

Medication treatment for vocal cord polyps: Its efficacy is only auxiliary and extremely limited. Small polyps that can dissipate can disappear without taking medication, but they may disappear a little faster with medication. I say it is possible. If polyps don't go away, no amount of medicine will work. Taking medicine is far less effective than speaking less, so it is not recommended.

Method of removing vocal cord polyps: The most common and fashionable surgery at this stage: removing vocal cord polyps under general anesthesia and microscope laryngoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery with general anesthesia and the operation time is about 30 minutes. Other surgeries: surgical treatment under fiber laryngoscope or electronic laryngoscope. Advantages: no hospitalization and no general anesthesia required. Disadvantages: the actual effect of surgical treatment is much worse than removing vocal cord polyps under microscope laryngoscope under general anesthesia.

The actual operation level of the attending physician: Although vocal cord polyp removal surgery is an entry-level surgery for young otolaryngologists, compared with other super-difficult surgeries, vocal cord polyp surgery is very simple. However, vocal cord polyp surgery has its own uniqueness, because basic surgery is performed under supervision, and the doctor's hands can directly touch the surgical site; but in vocal cord polyp surgery, the doctor can only see the polyps through a laryngoscope or under a microscope, and can only touch and remove the polyps through the laryngoscope using operating room instruments. It is not easy for a novice to locate the polyp very accurately (especially under a laryngoscope), nor can he remove the polyp in one go. He can only remove the polyp by touching and hitting the vocal cords or polyps several times. As a result, the vocal cords are more severely damaged, the recovery of hoarseness after surgery is slower, and there are more postoperative complications. In severe cases, adhesion of the damaged vocal cords may occur. Because of the lack of surgical skills, the operation time is long and the anesthesia time is relatively increased. After the operation, the patient feels that his "vital energy" is damaged and the recovery is slow.

Anesthesiologist: The anesthesia time is related to the work ability of the anesthesiologist. If the attending physician is skilled in practical operations and the anesthesiologist has a solid business process, the total anesthesia time is 20 to 30 minutes. Except for sleeping for a while, the patient did not feel any other unusual sensations. If the attending physician is not proficient in the operation, the anesthesiologist's business process is not solid, and the anesthesia time exceeds one hour, the patient will also experience abnormal sensations.

Equipment and instruments: The bulky laryngoscope often causes great damage to the throat, resulting in sore throat after the operation and even damage to the front teeth, which may lead to tooth loss in severe cases. If the patient has a thick and short neck, plastic surgery will often fail. If the surgery fails, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery, because the hospital has sophisticated laryngoscopes of different specifications and models to meet the needs of different patients. Do not perform laryngeal dehiscence surgery. Whether the operating room instruments (polyp forceps) are exquisite also affects the treatment effect. If there are no exquisite operating room instruments, the actual effect of the surgical treatment will definitely be discounted.

Many vocal cord polyps do not require surgical treatment: small polyps and many hypertrophic and protruding polyps generally do not require surgical treatment, and conservative treatment can cure the polyps. However, conservative treatment fails for many patients because the doctors do not provide enough education, or the patients do not follow the doctor's instructions, do not treat the cause of the disease, and do not eliminate the cause of the polyps.
