laryngeal dysfunction

Laryngeal dysfunction refers to problems with the larynx, also known as the voice box, which can affect speaking, breathing, or swallowing. It occurs when the muscles, nerves, or tissues of the larynx don’t work properly, leading to issues like hoarseness, difficulty speaking, choking, or breathing difficulties. Causes can include nerve damage, overuse, inflammation, or neurological conditions. Treatment varies depending on the specific problem and may involve voice therapy, medication, or surgery. Recognizing and addressing laryngeal dysfunction is crucial to restore normal function and prevent complications.
