Vocal fold nodule article:

Prognosis
Vocal fold nodules typically respond well to non-surgical/behavioural treatment techniques such as those described in the "Treatment" section. Therefore, if the patient is able to engage in such behaviour modification techniques the prognosis is good (although exact data is not available). If lesions are still present after non-surgical treatment methods, it is likely they are another form of benign vocal fold lesion (polyp, fibrous mass, cyst, or pseudocyst). The prognosis of requiring surgery would only occur after an exhaustive attempt at non-surgical therapy techniques has been applied.

Epidemiology
Research on the epidemiology of vocal fold nodules in children has suggested that nodules are more common in boys (2:1), in particular boys who are active and scream more frequently. However, in adulthood, women are more likely to have nodules, and are especially likely if they have an outgoing personality or sing frequently. The exact prevalence of vocal fold nodules is not known, but it has been reported that 23.4% of children who attended an ENT clinic for voice hoarseness, 6% of phoniatric clinic attendees, and 43% of teachers with dysphonia had nodules.

Feedback
Hi Cassie! Thank you for your feedback on my sections! That's a great idea you suggested to include all the symptoms in an overview paragraph in case the readers want a quick answer! Thanks I will add that to my revisions! When I said "throughout the day" you're right, I meant more on a daily basis these are things people can incorporate in their daily routines, I'll make that more clear! Thank you:) Chloe.93 (talk) 21:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
