- The Larynoglogy
as a speciality under ENT deals with illnesses and disorders
associated with the voice box or larynx. The larynx is responsible for producing
sound and swallowing.

Most disorders of the larynx can be caused by strain to the vocal cords through
misuse of voice. Since the treatment of the larynx is highly tailor made depending
on age, occupation and seriousness, we at Dr Rayudu’s ENT provide personalized
treatment depending on your condition.

Laryngology is a highly specialized field, and laryngologists undergo additional
training beyond general otolaryngology to become experts in the diagnosis and
treatment of laryngeal and voice-related issues. They use a combination of medical,
surgical, and behavioral interventions to help patients regain or improve their
voice and swallowing function.
Common laryngeal conditions involve
issues related to the larynx (voice box), which plays a critical role in speaking
and producing sound. Here are some common laryngeal conditions:
- Laryngitis
- Vocal Cord Nodules and Polyps
- Vocal Cord Paralysis
- Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)
- Laryngeal Cancer
- Reflux Laryngitis
- Laryngeal Trauma
- Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
- Laryngeal Stenosis
- Laryngeal Papillomas
- Spasmodic Dysphonia
If you experience persistent or severe
laryngeal symptoms, such as changes in your voice, hoarseness, or discomfort in the
throat, it's important to seek medical evaluation, as some of these conditions, like
laryngeal cancer, may require prompt treatment.
