Vocal nodules are benign (non-cancerous) masses that form on both vocal folds (cords). These structures open for breathing, close for swallowing, and vibrate as air passes through to produce sound. Nodules can interrupt normal vocal fold vibrations, causing vocal difficulties. Treatment is necessary to prevent the nodules from turning into hard callouses.
