Vocal cord nodules are callous-like growths that develop in the midpoint of the vocal folds and are sometimes referred to as singer’s nodules or nodes. Both men and women can be affected by vocal cord nodules, but women between the ages of 20 and 50 are more at risk. Vocal cord nodules look like calluses under the microscope and are occasionally associated with abnormal blood vessels.
CAUSES
Vocal cord nodules can develop for a variety of reasons, such as:
Frequent voice-over usage
• Serious voice trauma
· Hypothroidism
· Allergies
· Smoking
Prolonged contact with hazardous gases.
Contributing factors may include:
· Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Certain medications’ side effects
· Hormonal imbalance
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The most typical symptom is a raspy or hoarse voice, but you may also notice straining or pitch breaks when your child talks or sings.
Other symptoms may include :
· A breathy, airy voice.
A voice that is rough, gravelly, or scratchy.
A stutter or crack in your voice as you speak.
Limitations in one’s vocal range, particularly in the higher register.
Speaking or singing requires more force or effort.
· Frequent throat clearing
Feeling like your throat is choked up with something.
The entire neck hurts.
DIAGNOSIS
Stroboscopy and laryngoscopy are two methods for diagnosing vocal cord nodules.
PREVENTION
Using proper vocal techniques, such as:
· Avoid yelling or screaming.
Imitating correctly while playing a pretend game.
· Drinking plenty of water.
· Maintaining a healthy diet.
Treating the signs and symptoms of allergies and reflux: Reflux is frequently the cause of nodules in the vocal folds because it causes inflammation, so treating reflux symptoms may be advised.
