Having a low voice is a common problem in winter. It is therefore easy to underestimate it. In some cases, however, this is an important wake-up call. Lowering of the voice can be a symptom of these serious diseases.
When lowering of the voice is caused by laryngitis
Just a simple sore throat or having strained the vocal cords too much: you find yourself with a lowering of the voice. It is difficult to speak, and the sound of one’s voice becomes more hoarse and lower in tone. Generally, there is nothing to worry about. Symptoms disappear after a few days. Especially if you take care to rest your voice, whispering instead of speaking.
If the sinking persists, however, a doctor should be consulted. In fact, the larynx may be inflamed. In this case, it is important to understand what caused the laryngitis. It can be a viral or bacterial infection. But also of gastroesophageal reflux or irritants, such as cigarette smoke or smog. Again, in addition to medication for any infection, the best cure is rest.
Alarm bell: beware of these diseases
In addition to laryngitis, lowering of the voice can be a symptom of these serious diseases: laryngeal cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome and miastenia grave. The latter is a disease that affects the communication between nerves and muscles. It is also recognized by drooping eyelids and double vision.
Additionally, myasthenia gravis sufferers have abnormally tired muscles after physical activities. Polycystic ovary syndrome, on the other hand, is one of the most common causes of infertility. How to recognize it? Generally, in addition to a deeper voice, women who suffer from it notice breast reduction, excessive hair growth, acne and obesity. So if the lowering of the voice is more than a temporary annoyance, it is important to contact the doctor.
