FAQs on Hoarseness and Treatment at Janus Health System
What is hoarseness?
Hoarseness is a voice condition characterized by changes in the pitch, quality, or strength of the voice. Individuals with hoarseness may sound husky, scratchy, or weak. This condition can affect anyone and often alters how the voice feels and sounds.
What causes hoarseness?
Hoarseness can be caused by a variety of factors. Common causes include overuse of the voice, such as yelling or prolonged speaking, which strains the vocal cords. Infections or inflammation can also lead to hoarseness, as can growths on the vocal cords, such as polyps or nodules. Other ENT (ear, nose, and throat) disorders, such as allergies or thyroid problems, might also result in changes to the voice.
How is hoarseness treated?
The treatment for hoarseness depends largely on its cause. Options include voice therapy, which involves exercises to improve vocal function and reduce strain; minimally invasive procedures to remove growths; or simply vocal cord rest, which entails limiting vocal usage to allow for healing. Our specialists at Janus Health tailor treatments to each patient's specific condition.
Does Janus Health accept out-of-town patients?
Yes, Janus Health proudly serves not only locals in Greater Sudbury, ON but also welcomes out-of-town patients from across North America. We are committed to providing expert ENT care and have facilities equipped to accommodate patients traveling for treatment.
How long will recovery take?
The duration of recovery from hoarseness can vary depending on the underlying cause and the treatment approach. At Janus Health, each treatment plan is customized to promote optimal healing, resulting in recovery times that can vary from a few weeks to several months. We strive to ensure all patients achieve the best possible outcome through personalized care.
Is surgery always required for vocal issues?
Surgery is not always necessary for treating vocal issues. Many voice disorders respond well to non-invasive treatments such as voice therapy and lifestyle adjustments. Surgery is typically considered only when other treatments have not resolved the symptoms or in cases involving significant vocal cord damage. Our team at Janus Health is skilled in both surgical and nonsurgical approaches, allowing us to provide the best care tailored to each patient’s needs.
