surgery is availeble,But the best treatmnt for vocal nodule is voice therapy.

Yes,only voice therapy.

Yes

Paul Castellanos

Vocal nodules are traction injuries to the vocal folds from prolonged loud speaking or singing. In time, the gaps generated fore and aft of the nodules prevents the vacuum from forming during the glottic cycle and stops the injury from worsening by the growth of the nodule itself. Ulceration can also occur further deteriorating the voice. This is the way surgery can help, NOT AS PRIMARY PREVENTION, but as secondary prevention of worsened disease. If nodules are recalcitrant to speech therapy, removing them will help to avoid worse disease IN SOME PATIENTS.
