What e the symptoms of vocal nodules?
What are the symptoms of benign vocal fold lesions? The most common symptom of a benign vocal fold lesion is a change in voice quality, ranging from mild to severe. The voice can be affected during speaking, singing, or both. Often, hoarseness will be associated with an increased effort to talk and subsequent fatigue or tiring of the voice with continued use. Other symptoms associated with vocal fold lesions include pain with talking (although unusual) or a “lump in the throat” feeling (globus). Pain and globus are only indirectly related to the benign vocal fold lesions; they are usually related to the compensatory mechanisms used to overcome the voice difficulties.
