Pregas vocais branquinhas e retinhas na minha última laringoscopia, mas tenho ROUQUIDÃO DEPOIS DE SHOWS OU PERDA DE QUALIDADE NA VOZ. O que fazer?

Em Voz Cantada, nem sempre a Forma diz respeito à Função, ou seja, nem sempre o funcionamento é ditado pelo formato dos órgãos de aparência normal. Nesta, o MOVIMENTO da laringe é mais importante do que a Forma, pois este pode levar a alterações neste formato de tamanhos maiores que, sim, trarão as queixas de voz. O tendão de um atleta de ponta pode estar inflamado, mas o formato do órgão está preservado na foto promocional. Na voz, ocorre o mesmo, devemos buscar o PROVÁVEL MECANISMO DE LESÃO, mesmo quando a FOTO da laringe parece normal. Portanto, se há queixa de voz, não se contentem com a normalidade da FOTO das pregas vocais. DISFONIAS FUNCIONAIS têm diagnósticos esmiuçados que, se descobertos pelo médico otorrino dedicado à voz, anteciparão o desaparecimento da queixa ao serem tratados por fonoaudióloga. Toda disfonia causada por função equivocada é CONSIDERADA FATOR PRÉ-LESÃO DE PREGAS VOCAIS. (RY)
