Nodules of vocal cords - what does this mean
Nodules of the vocal cords are caused by excessive and/or prolonged vocal strain, resulting in the formation of non-cancerous lumps on the vocal cords. this can be due to excessive shouting, screaming, or singing, as well as vocal abuse such as smoking and drinking alcohol. the nodules can cause hoarseness, breathiness, and a decrease in vocal range. treatment usually involves voice therapy and rest.
What happens during the disease - nodules of vocal cords
