Hoarseness
Understanding voice changes, causes, and treatment
What is Hoarseness?
Hoarseness is an abnormal change in voice quality, making it sound breathy, raspy, or strained. It results from problems with the vocal cords or their nerve supply. While often caused by minor issues like infections, hoarseness can occasionally indicate serious conditions including laryngeal cancer or neurological disorders.
