I am a 66-year-old man with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart issues taking aspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, teneligliptin, and amlodac 50/5; after having two throat surgeries to remove non-cancerous growths on my vocal cords, my voice is still weak and muffled, so how can I improve my voice, why did the growth return after the first surgery, and is there a risk of it growing back again?
Benign vocal growths can return due to ongoing vocal strain, acid reflux, or tissue irritation. While there is a small risk of recurrence, you can greatly improve your voice and protect your vocal cords. I highly recommend voice therapy with a speech therapist, keeping well-hydrated, and avoiding straining your voice. Please continue taking your medications, including amlodac 50/5 and atorvastatin, as prescribed, and follow up with your ENT specialist to monitor your healing.
