Category: vocal cords

The popular singer Adele has a vocal cord hemorrhage according to Fox News. Vocal cord hemorrhage causes your voice to be hoarse. It can occur in anyone who overuses their voice. I have seen this in teachers, foreman, people attending rock concerts, and even in customer service operators. It is diagnosed by a painless endoscopy in the ENT office. Endoscopy can diagnose which part of the voice box is affected and it also can assess if the hoarseness can be due to other causes (such as cancer). Treatments can vary from steroids, diet modification, hydration and voice rest and others.
