Overview 

At Century ENT, we specialize in providing exceptional care for vocal cord nodules. Vocal cord nodules are benign, often small, lumps or bumps on the vocal cords that can significantly impact a person’s voice. They are sometimes referred to as “singer’s nodules” or “screamer’s nodules” and are essentially vocal cord calluses. These nodules typically develop due to continued injury to the vocal cords, often caused by voice overuse in activities such as singing, shouting, or frequent coughing.

Recognizing Vocal Cord Nodule Symptoms

It’s crucial to identify the signs of vocal cord nodules, which may include:

• Hoarseness persists for more than a few weeks.
• Difficulty speaking or singing effectively.
• A raspy or strained-sounding voice.

Diagnostic Evaluation

Vocal cord nodules can often be visualized during an in-person examination, as they are usually small and positioned on the surface of the vocal cords. Treatment options may vary depending on the severity and impact of the nodules.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

Our dedicated team at Century ENT offers a comprehensive treatment approach for vocal cord nodules, which may include:

• Medications for inflammation and pain management.
• Rest and voice therapy are tailored to improve vocal cord function and reduce strain.

Exploring Surgical Options

In cases where vocal cord nodules are causing severe symptoms or not responding to conservative treatments, surgery may be recommended. Surgical intervention aims to address the nodules directly and restore optimal vocal cord function.
