The vocal cord polyp lesions affect both the vocal cord mucosal epithelium layer and the superficial lamina propria. This kind of localized lesions hinder the vocal cord mucosa from vibrating and sounding. Therefore, it is generally treated mainly by surgery, which is very pedicled polyps.

The pedicled vocal cord polyp is recommended to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis in the early stage. If the course of disease is longer than half a year, or after three months of aggressive treatment with scattered traditional Chinese and western medicine, if the sound does not improve, then it is removed by surgery.
