“…In another study, Aydin et al ( 27 ) examined vocal characteristics in women with PCOS and compared them to healthy matched individuals. The authors assessed the patient’s voice complaints using various scales, including VHI-10, as well as the acoustic parameters.…”

“…Another important difference between the studies mentioned above is the phase of the menstrual cycle in which the patients were examined. For instance, only in the study by Aydin et al ( 27 ), the women were examined in the follicular phase, which in the context of voice changes during the menstrual cycle ( 1 , 10 , 11 ) can pose a problem for comparing the described results with conclusions from other studies. The important problem can be the lack of information concerning androgens concentration in study groups of some research, as it was for example in a study carried out by Hannoun et al ( 25 ), in which the testosterone concentrations were evaluated only in some participants.…”

The subject of vocal changes accompanying pathological conditions, although still not well explored, seems to be promising. The discovery of laryngeal receptors for sex hormones and thyroid hormones can strongly support the hypothesis of changes in voice due to various endocrinopathies. On the other hand, the impairment of proper function of the vocal apparatus can be caused also in the process of the microvasculature complications of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this review was a comprehensive summary of the accessible literature concerning the influence of selected endocrinopathies on subjective and objective voice parameters. We analyzed a total number of 16 English-language research papers from PubMed database, released between 2008 and 2021, describing vocal changes in reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, thyroid disorders in a shape of hypo- or hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus type 2. The vast majority of the analyzed articles proved some changes in voice in all mentioned conditions, although the detailed affected vocal parameters frequently differed between research. We assume that the main cause of the observed conflicting results might stem from nonhomogeneous methodology designs of the analyzed studies.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is heterogenous condition with commonly associated symptoms include irregular menstrual cycle, hirsutism, baldness, adult acne, and weight gain There have been few attempts at profiling the voice characteristics of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Videokymography enables to detect even subtle variations in vocal fold vibrations. The aim of the present study was to study the videokymographic characteristics among women with PCOS. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 50 women with and without PCOS diagnosed on ultrasonography. Videokymography was carried out and the characteristics were perceptually analyzed using a vocal fold kymographic rating scale. The analysis of the kymogram was done for the following characteristics; presence of vocal fold vibration,interference of surroundings, Cycle to cycle variability, left-right asymmetry,cycle aberrations and shape of lateral peaks. The kymographic images were obtained for all the participants of both the groups and a subjective consensus evaluation was done by two clinicians. The percentage of participants with the listed kymographic characteristics were tabulated. Chi Square test was also done to decide if there was a significant difference between the two groups for different kymographic features of vocal fold vibration. Results: Six of the 25 women with PCOS were found to have abnormal kymographic features such as surrounding structural interference, presence of cycle to cycle variability and the shape of lateral peaks. Conclusion: Early detection of the vocal abnormalities in individuals with PCOS would help in the vocal rehabilitation especially for professional voice users.

“…Однако даже при отсутствии жалоб и объективных акустических различий при фиброскопии и стробоскопии было отмечено более частое выявление бессимптомной гипертонусной дисфонии, неполного закрытия голосовой щели и нарушения вибрации голосовых складок в группе пациентов с СПЯ по сравнению с контрольной группой. Данное явление может быть связано с повышенным уровнем андрогенов или тревожными и депрессивными расстройствами, риск которых ассоциирован с СПЯ [22].…”

Dysphonia is a symptom of many endocrine pathologies. Hoarseness, voice fatigue, decrease of the voice pitch, reduce of the range are typical complaints for hypothyroidism, caused by an increased amount of polysaccharides and accumulation of fluid in the lamina propria of the vocal folds. An excess of growth hormone causes an overproduction of insulin-like growth factor-1, which leads to abnormalities in the craniofacial region and proliferation of the upper respiratory tract tissues, including thickening of the laryngeal cartilages, vocal folds and decreasing of the voice pitch. Hyperglycemia, changes in the balance of fluid and electrolytes in diabetes mellitus can indirectly affect the voice: xerostomia complicates phonation due to impaired hydration of the laryngeal mucosa, diabetic neuropathy often disrupts the work of the laryngeal muscles involved in voice formation. Voice changes are observed not only in endocrine disorders, but also during puberty, the phases of the menstrual cycle and during menopause. Laryngeal structures are modified under the influence of hormones and external factors, which generally changes pitch and intensity of the voice, timbre and resonance, articulation and prosodic characteristics. The purpose of this review is to summarize and systematize data on physiological and pathological voice changes in patients of different age groups and sex. The possibilities of a multidisciplinary approach to rational voice correction are demonstrated.
