It could be due to varied causes like upper respiratory tract infection like laryngitis or pharyingitis, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, reflux laryngitis in people who have acidity and GERD, muscle abnormality, voice box abnormality, polyps, tumors or weakness of voice box etc.

ve had two colonscopies since age 50, my first colonoscopy found a pre-cancerous polyp (had a more dangerous figure, I was told) along with other benign polyps that was which was removed (had no side effects after) I did a follow up colonscopy the year after and another pre-cancerous polyp (except to a lesser degree) was found and removed along with other benign polyps around the same area, the 2nd colonoscopy from a different surgeon I had a lot of stomach pain after.
It may be time to seek a second opinion at an institution where clinical research on nasal polyps, throat clearing and chronic inflammation of the nose and sinuses has been conducted. The following are two such places. If neither is close to where you live, I suggest that you call the first one, Case Western Reserve University and ask if they can refer you to specialists closer to home.
do all polyps turn into cancer? and are there different types of colon polyps?
When I freaked out he told me that it was not cancer that cancer is white and that this polyp looks nothing like cancer. First I would like to know if anyone else has had this type of polyp and what they were. My dr says that they are just extra tissue. If that is the case why do a biopsy? How can I deal with this until the ENT appt. I can't function through my day. I really need some reeassuance and help.
I am a 49-year old female who has had severe acid reflux for several years. I have been on Nexium 2 X day for the past 7 years and have still managed to develop Barrett's esophagus. At this point, the Barrett's is at the lowest stage, however given the aggressiveness of my case, my biggest fear is that it will turn into full-blown cancer. I have slept with the bed raised for years; I have used Nexium before meals 2x day for years.
I have a half brother that died from colon cancer. My family has a history of polyps, thus I had my first colonoscopy at 37 (2 polyps) then at 46 (2 polyps) All benign thankfully. I've had complete annual physicals for the past 5 years and all good thankfully. I am due for a colonoscopy and am stressing about more polyps. Also have anxiety and that's flaring up because of the colonoscopy. Should I be concerned? Thank you!
suspicious lumps in my thyroid, and possible cancer in both breasts, suspected colon cancer after positive polyps during a colonoscopy, and unexplained weight loss and bruising.
I wanted to run in the opposite direction, as far and as fast as possible.
Instead, I followed the doctors orders, had two thyroid biopsies, two breast needle biopsies, and gastro redo, and further testing. It was the longest month of my life, undergoing all these tests and waiting for results...finally 6.
I just had 20 "tiny" polyps removed - 2 adenomas (pre-cancer) and the rest were hyperplastic (non-malignant). I will have a follow-up in one year. Doc put me on fish oil, calcium, and low-dose aspirin. I am also taking selenium. Are they going to remove your polyps?
Hi.....I'm glad your cancer was caught early enough for treatment, and polyps are common after 50 and that's why they want us to start having our scopes starting at 50. Polyps are removed during the Colonoscopy and your's was caught early and that's why we have the scopes, to catch these things before they become serious. Food is usually the culprit with gas, so think if you've been eating something out of the ordinary and eliminate it to see if things improve.
Many people have gallbladder polyps and have no problem whatsoever. Polyps in the gallbladder do not generally mean cancer, unlike polyps in other organs, like the stomach or the colon. Gallbladder polyps are generally watched - depending upon size - and if they start to grow then docs might suggest more tests or further action.
I had my colonoscopy today and he said he found 2 polyps in the sigmoid colon and biopsy a thickened fold in the sigmoid colon. Also said I have Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon.
Does anyone know what this means?
a new study shows that eating three servings of fish per week appears to cut the risk of developing colon polyps that could lead to cancer. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and Vanderbilt University in Tennessee surveyed more than 5,300 individuals about their eating habits. All of those surveyed also had colonoscopies.
C in Feburary of 2007. They found about a half dozen polyps which all tested negative for cancer. This was supposed to solve all my problems. It didn't do a thing. I continued with extremely heavy periods and passing clots the size of Texas. I lived with it for about a year before going back to the doctor due to poor insurance during that time. Now he feels it could be endometrial cancer or a return of the polyps.
Dear readers
I have been diagnosed with asthma from birth, at this point I'm 22 years old. About 2 years ago I noticed I couldn't breathe at all any more through my nose. I went to my Ear nose & throat doctor and he diagnosed me with nasal polyps. Now I also noticed a spot at the back end of my tongue which was pressing a little bit against my palatum mollum.
