This treatment option is designed to help manage chronic hoarseness, vocal strain, or a weak voice that could stem from inflammation, scarring, or benign growths (like nodules or polyps) on your vocal cords. Steroid injections for the vocal cords deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the vocal folds to calm swelling, soften scar tissue, and help restore your voice—often without surgery.
How It Works
A tiny dose of corticosteroid (e.g., dexamethasone) is injected into the affected vocal fold during a quick in-office or OR procedure. The steroid reduces irritation and may shrink lesions over time, improving vocal flexibility and clarity.
