American singer, Miley Cyrus reveals vocal cord disorder, says smoking and drinking made It worse

American pop star Miley Cyrus has revealed shes living with Reinkes edema, a noncancerous vocal cord condition that causes swelling and can affect the voice. Speaking in an interview with Apple Musics Zane Lowe, Miley said the disorder is often linked to vocal strain and long-term smoking, but in her case, its mostly genetic. She admitted that early habits like drinking and smoking after performances didnt help, but emphasized her condition wasn’t caused by them. I have this large polyp on my cords, and Im not willing to sever it ever, she said, noting the risk of losing her unique voice if she undergoes surgery. Reinkes edema typically affects those who overuse their voice or smoke over time. Despite her diagnosis, Miley says her voice has always sounded the way it does, calling it a part of her anatomy. The post American singer, Miley Cyrus reveals vocal cord disorder, says smoking and drinking made It worse appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
