Do polyps on vocal cords go away?
Vocal nodules (also known as vocal fold nodules or vocal cord nodules) can develop if you use your voice too much over a long period of time. They make your voice hoarse and change the sound of your voice. These small, benign (non-cancerous) nodules usually go away again if you rest your voice or do voice therapy.
Can vocal nodules turn into polyps?
Most of the time, vocal abuse or misuse causes nodules. Long-term vocal abuse can cause polyps, too. But polyps may happen after just one instance of vocal abuse, like yelling at a concert.
What are two major differences between vocal polyps and vocal nodules?
Vocal cord polyps are different from nodules because they can occur on either one or both vocal cords. They tend to be more vascularized than nodules, meaning they have more blood vessels and appear reddish in color. These growths can vary in size and shape, but are usually larger than nodules and resemble blisters.
Do vocal cord polyps grow?
The mid-fold location is so characteristic for a polyp, that a mass occurring elsewhere on the vocal fold should be examined very carefully before settling on a polyp diagnosis. Polyps do not generally grow over the short-term, although there are exceptions.
