Can I get pregnant while suffering from laryngeal cancer

Can you get pregnant during laryngeal cancer? Laryngeal cancer surgery itself will not affect pregnancy, but because part of the vocal cords are removed, it will affect your speech and the sound quality will decline, but it will not be to the point where you cannot speak at all. Laryngeal cancer has a great impact on the patient's health after it occurs. For such a disease, people are expected to pay attention to prevention and treatment. However, many people do not know the preventive measures for laryngeal cancer, let alone its harms. Below, the editor will summarize for you the harms of laryngeal cancer.

These are usually complications after surgery, such as tube blockage, tube dislocation, aspiration, misplacement, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, water and electrolyte imbalance, nasal infection, bad breath, etc.
Depending on where the cancer occurs, there are the following specific symptoms:
1. The supraglottic type includes cancers that originate above the vocal cords, such as the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, ventricular bands and laryngeal ventricles. This type of cancer is poorly differentiated and develops rapidly. Because this area is rich in lymphatic vessels, it is easy to metastasize to the lymph nodes of the deep upper neck group located at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. Early symptoms include a foreign body sensation in the throat and discomfort in the throat. When the surface of the cancer ulcerates, there will be swelling in the throat, which can be reflected to the ears and even affect swallowing. In the late stage, when the cancer erodes the blood vessels, there will be blood in the sputum, and there will often be smelly sputum. When the vocal cords are invaded, there will be hoarseness and difficulty breathing.
2. Glottic type: Cancers confined to the vocal cords are more common in the anterior and middle 1/3, are well differentiated, and are classified as grades I and II. They develop slowly, and are not easy to metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes due to the small number of lymphatic vessels in the vocal cords. The main symptom is hoarseness, which gradually worsens. When the tumor grows, it blocks the glottis, causing laryngeal wheezing and dyspnea, and bloody sputum and laryngeal obstruction in the late stage.
3. Subglottic type refers to the cancer located below the vocal cords and above the lower edge of the cricoid cartilage. Because this area is relatively hidden, it is not easy to find in routine laryngoscopy. There may be no symptoms in the early stage, but cough and bloody sputum may occur later. In the late stage, due to the blockage of the subglottic area by the cancer, breathing difficulties are common. It may also penetrate the cricothyroid membrane, invade the thyroid gland and the anterior soft tissue, and infiltrate along the anterior wall of the esophagus.
4. Paraglottic type refers to cancer originating from the laryngeal cavity, also known as transglottic cancer. This area is very hidden. There may be no symptoms in the early stage, and it is very easy to spread to the lateral paraglottic space. Its clinical characteristics are: hoarseness is the first symptom, and the vocal cords are often fixed first, but no tumor is found. Later, as the cancer spreads to the paraglottic space, infiltrates and destroys the laryngeal cartilage, there may be sore throat.
If the disease affects the thyroid cartilage wing plate and cricothyroid membrane on one side, a bulge of the laryngeal cartilage support can be felt on that side, and there is an irritating dry cough. It is usually diagnosed only when the disease develops to two areas.
This is all we have to say about the dangers of laryngeal cancer. If people can understand the preventive measures and take active preventive measures in their lives, they can avoid the occurrence of diseases such as laryngeal cancer to a certain extent.
