Abstract
Epiphora, or the flood of tears, is a common and irritating symptom. Lacrimation is caused by an overabundance of tears. The severity of epiphora can range from a minor annoyance to a continuously annoying overflow that can cause social embarrassment. Determine the age and gender distribution of vocal nodules in this research population. the frequency of nodules in this sample group according to profession and Post‐treatment voice quality (surgical and non‐surgical treatment groups), post‐follow‐up voice quality and recurrence of symptoms in both groups throughout the follow‐up period were compared. The study was Prospective Study. It’s conducted From December 2017 to December 2019 at Department of ENT and Head Neck surgery, R. G Kar Medical College. Our findings show that the patients in Group A had a mean Post Rx GRBAS of 1.3529±2.2063.The patients' average Post‐Rx GRBAS in group B was 2.4545±1.4809. It was statistically significant to compare the mean Post Rx GRBAS distribution to the group (p = 0.0409). The patients' average Ch1 GRBAS in group A was 10.0588±3.5084.The patients in group‐B had a mean Ch1 GRBAS of 8.7273±3.0236. The mean Ch1 GRBAS distribution was not significantly different from the group (p = 0.0648). The mean Post‐F/U GRBAS for patients in group A was 1.4706±3.1448. The mean Post F/U GRBAS for the patients in group B was 2.7576±2.8508. The average Post F/U GRBAS distribution compared to the group did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.1507). The patients' average Ch2 GRBAS in group A was 9.9412±3.9126. The patients in group‐B had a mean Ch2 GRBAS value of 8.4242±3.9531. It was not statistically significant (p = 0.2033) how the mean Ch2 GRBAS varied by group. One of the most common benign laryngeal lesions, vocal fold nodules, have an impact on people's quality of life, particularly their ability to sing. Although speech therapy is frequently utilized in conjunction with surgery, these problems can also be corrected successfully with speech therapy alone. As a result, otolaryngologists and speech therapists must stay up to date on the latest studies. The goal of this research was to look at the prevalence, etiology, histology, physiopathology, vocal features and treatment of vocal fold nodules that had been found in the literature.
