For no reason I keep losing my voice. I have had this for over a year now where my voice goes for a few weeks, comes back for a month or so and goes again. I have been to my doctors and they have told me it s something that I have to live with, there is nothing they can do! Is this right?
Hi. No, not at all- you do not have to live with this for ever. I would advise you to consult an ENT Specialist to have a proper Endoscopy to see what exactly is the problem in the larynx, the vocal cords and structures around it. There may be a vocal cord nodule, some problem with the false vocal cords, or may be polyposis and so on. You may also need an MRI of the larynx and an X-ray of the chest to rule out any fibrosis, tumor or problem in the apices of the lungs from which the recurrent laryngeal nerves turn up to supply the area. Proper diagnosis can lead to a proper treatment which may be a micro-laryngeal surgery and you may be cured.
