Vocal cord nodules can generally be diagnosed based on symptoms and medical examinations. Patients' voices typically become hoarse, often breaking intermittently, with the hoarseness being particularly prominent and warranting attention. Laryngoscopic examinations can confirm the clinical diagnosis. Additionally, various voice acoustic assessments and aerodynamic evaluations may be performed to determine the extent of vocal cord involvement and the degree of pathological changes in the vocal folds.
