What is Hoarseness of Voice?

When your voice sounds raspy, strained, or breathy, you have hoarseness (dysphonia). The loudness (how loud or quiet you talk) and pitch (how high or low you speak) may differ. There are various causes for hoarseness, but most are not dangerous and usually go away after a proper treatment.

Causes:

At the top of your windpipe (trachea) and the base of your tongue lies your voice box (larynx), which is made up of cartilage, muscle, and mucous membranes. The vocal cords are two flexible bands of muscle tissue located at the windpipe’s entrance. When your vocal cords vibrate, the sound is produced. Air flowing through the larynx causes this vibration, which brings your voice cords closer together. When you swallow, your vocal cords also help seal your voice box, keeping you from inhaling food or fluids. Your vocal cords cannot function correctly if they get inflamed, acquire growths, or become paralyzed, and you may have a voice problem. The following are some of the most prevalent vocal disorders:
Laryngitis ( most often due to viral infection following a cold)
Benign (non cancerous) lesions like vocal cord Nodules, Cyst, Polyp• Dysphonia due to muscle tightness
Spasmodic dysphonia, for example, is a neurological voice condition.
Lesions that are both precancerous and cancerous
Vocal cord weakness or paralysis
