Hi,

The commonest causes are:
- Anxiety and stress related stammering.
- Problems with brain and nerves related to speech and tongue movements.

Hence I would advise you to consult a speech therapist first for clinical evaluation and management to be started as he/she alone can give you speech therapy. Clinical evaluation by a neurologist as well as ENT surgeon about the factors I discussed above. Get an MRI of brain and related nerves. Get a psychiatrist's opinion if the reports are normal and counselling may help you further. Rest of the treatment as per the findings by the Specialist Doctors and investigations.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
