Absolutely brilliant, thank you. In a couple of weeks, I will be having my Vocal Process Granuloma removed for a second time, after regrowing. You have given me more information than my specialist has. This has given me ideas for me to help myself to perhaps prevent it recurring. If it does, I am now aware that I could leave it to possibly have it heal itself. Thanks very much, I have more knowledge now to be able to discuss some things with my specialist.
Hi @@preetam_laskar, I humbly apologise for not replying earlier. For you to show some interest in me, I should have responded to you. I am absolutely fine now, the procedure went perfectly and I haven't had any further issues. Thanks for your interest, Kelvin.
@GamerVidz i have same condition since past 2 months, at first it started with a little pain while speaking, but i didn't care and still misused my voice like shouting etc. Then it increased and my left ear also started paining. Then it's been 2 months i have taken various antibiotics but it didn't help. Now doctor has given me Sucralfate (it treats ulcer) and Omeprazole (for GERD), i don't know it i am getting relief or not, it's been 15 days since i am taking the medication and very little relief. Just the pain that went to my ear has reduced a little. What about you ? What symptoms did you have?
@GamerVidz man my condition is the same, pain in left ear, not paining while i swallow, but pain in left side of throat and left ear too. How many months did it take you to completely go? I think it happened cause i have a very low pitch voice, like when people hear me and see me in person they think it was 2 different people, that low lol. And i also use my voice alot, i had to shout while playing football etc so deep voice + shouting did it. That's the only reason i have cz I don't smoke nor drink.
@GamerVidz my ear and throat pain isn't going and it's been more than 2 months now. I'm kinda worried. Did you feel any relief after 2-3 months? Today i talked more than other days, i didn't even shout, but the pain increased. I think i have to completely stop talking wtf
I've heard of people getting granuloma from singing or talking including John Mayer, but you didn't say anything about singing, or talking as a cause, or vocal rest as part of the treatment. I get pain when I speak or sing to loud or too high, or especially when I say a "k" or hard "c", and I've heard conflicting things about whether this could be contact ulcers.
Thank god for this video. I've been having similar symptoms from a vocal overuse incident for months now and I couldn't figure out what it might be because it never affected my pitch. Got an ent appointment scheduled for next month. But at least now I can sleep soundly knowing it might just be a contact ulcer instead of thinking I tore some
@@preetam_laskar much better now. Turned out to be a vocal hemorrhage + gerd (lpr). ENT had me on a rest regiment and seeing a speech therapist regularly. Now it's good as new save for a noticable scar on the left vocal fold during laryngoscopy.
Hello I am samadi from nederland I have done 3 time operations mj gralumans but I have it now again and my doctor ask me to operation me again I don't know what to do please advice me I really need help
I was diagnosed with granuloma a month ago. It’s very small but still get lot of throat discomfort like wound feeling, diff swallowing, talking so on.. How long does it take to heal ?
You have to be patient, because it can take many months to heal. Even with medication, because the granuloma is always in a process of healing and re-injury as you go about daily vocal use. You need your voice to live & work, so you have to use it. Just get as much vocal rest as possible. Meaning, don't talk when you don't have to. My granulomas come and go, and can take 9 to 10 month to heal.
@@finn3102hi I just got my first one and it's been a few months now and drives me crazy.. MRI negative, all that.. Doc says take acid medicine but I don't think it's that exclusively. I guess I feel less crazy after reading your comment!
nice video. its a helpful video i myself have a very unknown serious throat condtion thats been bothering me for a long time just thinking mybe i have this kind of throat problem. thanks!
I was just diagnosed with a vocal granuloma by my ENT doctor this week. I had no symptoms at all and actually went to see him for another issue. I have never heard of it before, but I am sure I caused it by singing aggressively. I was a bit shocked to be prescribed two nasal inhalers and two acid reflux medications for the condition, but upon further research I see that this prescription is actually in line with most articles and studies I've read. I don't sing anymore and I also would clear my throat constantly throughout the day. My initial thought is to skip the prescribed medications and to stop my throat clearing and abstain from loud talking and limit caffeine. If that doesn't work I will try the medications I guess. I have to return to the ENT in a month for a follow up.
@Derrick Jensen Thanks for the reply, Derrick. Yes, after doing some of my own research I understand why it would be important to prescribe acid reflux medication. Even if I don't have any acid reflux symptoms, just the possibility of having too much acidity in my stomach could be rising up to my throat area when lying down or digesting. The acidity as far as I've researched is a possible reason that the granuloma can have problems healing. I think I'm going to try using both the nasal inhalers and the acid reflux medications my doctor has prescribed and see how things go. It's now been 3 days since I've cleared my throat, which I learned, is also horrible to do, as it also keeps the granuloma from being able to heal.
@@preetam_laskar hello, Preetam. Yes, my granuloma healed enough and was small enough on my visit this summer that my ENT was happy. His only concern was that it could be cancerous if it kept growing, but it did not. My basic conservative treatment was: 1) no throat clearing. I didn’t clear my throat for about a year and still haven’t. 2) I cut my coffee down from 3 to 4 cups a day to 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. (The doctor believes this was drying my throat out and I was dehydrated which was stopping the healing process). 3) Stopping eating around 7/8 pm each night so there wouldn’t be too much acid reflux when I slept. (On the weekends I would still eat/drink pretty much whatever I wanted) 4) I did use the Flonase inhaler that he gave me. It kept my breathing easy and I think might have helped when I was sleeping so I wouldn’t breathe through my mouth. 5). Staying a little extra hydrated. Nothing crazy. Even 1 glass extra of water per day. 6) No shouting. I would yell/shout while watching sporting games. 7) No singing. Even though I’m not really a singer, I would sing idea for music I would be working on.
@@versatile0276 thanks for sharing your experience I'm diagnosed with this last week along with LPR acid reflux causing by H. Pylori bacteria, chronic tonsillitis, antral gastritis. Doctor gave me HP kit for my reflux for 14 day which is going through after that corticosteroid (steroids) for granuloma. As doctor said is a benign but still I'm feeling very scared, does this totally get healed? I heard it takes long term medication is it true?
@@preetam_laskar My doctor and I took a very conservative approach. If you research the vocal granuloma, you will see that surgery is often unsuccessful, so other treatments/medications are almost always used first. My doctors approach was very conservative because my vocal granuloma was not causing any problems for me. We found it accidentally while doing an examination for something else. Because my granuloma wasn’t changing my vocal ability we were mainly concerned with it just being benign. We started off with two acid reflux medications and two nasal inhalers and diet change for a few months which did make it smaller but I didn’t want to take the acid reflux medication any longer. So, I stopped taking everything for a few months and started eating and drinking regularly again. Then the granuloma returned to the original size so my doctor and I discussed possibly doing a biopsy if it kept getting bigger. I wanted to then try a very conservative treatment first, which was the Flonase, diet change, and staying hydrated. After a few months the granuloma had gotten smaller in size so my doctor and I were happy to not do a biopsy. It is smaller now and we have just left it alone. I don’t mind if it is there. I will go back to get it looked at next year.
I’ve coughed up blood after feeling like I was being stabbed by a knife. Just had my surgery Friday and is feeling good so far. Mine hurt very bad. Doctor says most likely due to acid reflux although I never feel like I have reflux. Still waiting on my biopsy results.
Yes, unless symptoms are unacceptable, in which case you can inject steroid, or remove as long as you don’t re-wound the base. Best is to let it “mature” which means getting larger and at the same time more pinched in at the base in preparation for spontaneous detachment.
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I was wondering if there Is any medication we can take to reduce the pain in the jaw and throat? Or anything we can do to help ease the pain?
I have a vocal cord ulcer caused from GERD and am unable to eat solid food, my throat feels swollen and like it sticks on the one side when ai try to eat solid food. I am on a PPI and H2 blocker, how long will it typically take for the ulcer to heal enough where I can est solid food once again?
Hi, thank you for your highly instructional videos whihc made perfect sense. I have had a granuloma for a year and while it is slowly reducing in size I want to do all I can to aid this. Does singing place more pressure on the granuloma than talking and should I therefore not sing? Many thanks
I don't think typical talking/ singing are harmful. Harsh throat clearing or "grinding" kind of singing not recommended, however. These may take a long time to heal. Occasionally a small nubbin that causes no trouble remains indefinitely.
Man what? I have the same thing, whenever i eat the pain eases for a bit and then the ear pain and throat pain starts again after like 1 hour. And when i wake up in the morning the pain isn't there but as the day passes the pain comes back. I think it's because we talk and it triggers the larynx again. I am having this war and throat pain for 2 months now, it increases when i speak even a little bit. Did you have the same?
Doc, i had a granuloma that eventually detached, thanks to your video i started to apply reflux treatment (from a doctor of course:esomeprazol) instead of surgery (2 doctors recommended that..), it was 5 days ago since the granuloma detached and i felt better, no more feeling of "something" on my throat, but i have a question: Sometimes it feels a little something there but doesnt bother me at all, the day of the granuloma detach i cough blood, but since then (5 days ago) theres moments where my phlegm have like a little little yellowish blood(?), is it normal those 2 symptoms after 5 days of detachment? Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english, im just curious since you helped me to search for options other than surgery.
Of course all speculative without an examination, but it is common to spit some blood when granulomas detach. Sometimes the entire thing detaches; sometimes only one of the two (or occasionally 3) lobes.
If you would like to set up a video call with Dr. Bastian please email me at kyle.bell@bastianvoice.com. Dr. Bastian has consulted with people world wide via video chat and would be more than happy to talk to you.
Sir i have throat pain since 2 months, it increases as i speak, doctor has written that i have contact ulcer in larynx, but the throat pain goes to the ear too, i am confused as you didn't say that the pain goes to the ear. Can it happen? And i want to know that how much time will the ulcer take to heal. I try to speak as politely as possible, as voice rest is prescribed, I can't do complete voice rest as of my job. Please tell me how much more time can it take?
More commonly than ear pain, a "pinprick" or "pinch" on the side of the granuloma is often a part of this disorder. A person may pick up the phone to say "hello," for example, and feel that pinching sensation. It does refer to the ear in some for sure. I am speaking of what has occurred in my patients, and of course leave it between you and your doctor to follow this issue for you. Healing can take several months, as described in this video.
@@Laryngopedia thank you so much, my doctor has not done my laryngoscopy, he just saw it from the dental mirror, but i will tell him to do it cz even i want to see whats going on down there, and you have given so much knowledge about this topic thank you for that it helped alot
Unexplained pain needs careful evaluation, especially lasting this long. You should be examined without delay. Granulomas are more often caused by aggressive coughing or an endotracheal tube. The pain of contact ulcers is often a sudden “pinprick” mid-neck to the side, more than constant pain…
@Derrick Jensen wtf? 8 months and still having pain. I am have pain since 3 months. It started as i pinch type feeling whenever i spoke. But i didn't care as nobody thinks that it's an ulcer. But after a month of still shouting and speaking loudly the pain increased, at first it was only when i spoke but now it was 24/7. And my left side ear also started paining. Now it's 3 months and i mean the pain is only a little bit less. The day when I don't speak much I don't feel much pain(but there is always a little). But even if i speak normally like normal talking, that day the throat pain and left ear pain increases and i have to keep quiet for another 1-2 days. What about you? What type of a pain do you feel? Is your pain 24/7 or only while speaking and then you're normal when you don't speak?
@Derrick Jensen ya, my voice is completely normal. No voice change, but only change is that I'm having voice cracks more often now, when i speak slowly i have mich voice cracks as I'm seriously not used to speak much slowly. I was always the one with loud voice. So when i speak slowly(as that's the only way to speak now) i have voice cracks. And i have a very low pitch voice and shouting with a really low voice was also a task for my vocal chords so i thing they just couldn't handle that much lol.
@Derrick Jensen i tried doing the breath out while talking thing. But that doesn't sound like my normal voice, it sounds way too different. I cringed out doing that. Even if my pain goes down to a level that it comes only when i talk, i will be relieved that it's healing because at this time the ear and throat pain is 24/7 continuous even when I'm not talking. It is less when I don't talk for a day but not completely gone. I hope i get better with these antacids and multivitamins given to me by the doctor. And thanks for telling me about your story. I got to know about this alot. I talked to someone before in the same video's comments. His granuloma healed after 6-8 months after taking antacids like I'm taking, but he took much more precautions. He didn't even talk for 2 weeks to give rest to his Larynx. I talk everyday, not much but still i can't hold myself. His one healed and yours came back after a year. His condition was more like me, even he had continuous pain in ear and throat like me. You just have irritation while you speak. He took 2 types of antacids. I've only been given one that is Rabeprazole. When your pain disappeared for a year or so. Were you completely fine? I mean could you talk loudly and even shout at that time?

Unexplained pain needs careful evaluation, especially lasting this long. You should be examined without delay. Granulomas are more often caused by aggressive coughing or an endotracheal tube. The pain of contact ulcers is often a sudden “pinprick” mid-neck to the side, more than constant pain…

@Derrick Jensen wtf? 8 months and still having pain. I am have pain since 3 months. It started as i pinch type feeling whenever i spoke. But i didn't care as nobody thinks that it's an ulcer. But after a month of still shouting and speaking loudly the pain increased, at first it was only when i spoke but now it was 24/7. And my left side ear also started paining. Now it's 3 months and i mean the pain is only a little bit less. The day when I don't speak much I don't feel much pain(but there is always a little). But even if i speak normally like normal talking, that day the throat pain and left ear pain increases and i have to keep quiet for another 1-2 days. What about you? What type of a pain do you feel? Is your pain 24/7 or only while speaking and then you're normal when you don't speak?
@Derrick Jensen ya, my voice is completely normal. No voice change, but only change is that I'm having voice cracks more often now, when i speak slowly i have mich voice cracks as I'm seriously not used to speak much slowly. I was always the one with loud voice. So when i speak slowly(as that's the only way to speak now) i have voice cracks. And i have a very low pitch voice and shouting with a really low voice was also a task for my vocal chords so i thing they just couldn't handle that much lol.
@Derrick Jensen i tried doing the breath out while talking thing. But that doesn't sound like my normal voice, it sounds way too different. I cringed out doing that. Even if my pain goes down to a level that it comes only when i talk, i will be relieved that it's healing because at this time the ear and throat pain is 24/7 continuous even when I'm not talking. It is less when I don't talk for a day but not completely gone. I hope i get better with these antacids and multivitamins given to me by the doctor. And thanks for telling me about your story. I got to know about this alot. I talked to someone before in the same video's comments. His granuloma healed after 6-8 months after taking antacids like I'm taking, but he took much more precautions. He didn't even talk for 2 weeks to give rest to his Larynx. I talk everyday, not much but still i can't hold myself. His one healed and yours came back after a year. His condition was more like me, even he had continuous pain in ear and throat like me. You just have irritation while you speak. He took 2 types of antacids. I've only been given one that is Rabeprazole. When your pain disappeared for a year or so. Were you completely fine? I mean could you talk loudly and even shout at that time?

My problem is acid reflux also along with this throat granuloma, I've read in a comment that it takes long time to get cured, is it true? As I'm suffering from last 3 months.
