Miley Cyrus recently shared her experience with Reinke's edema, a vocal cord disorder that contributes to her unique sound. The disorder, characterized by vocal cord swelling, can result in polyp-like growths on the vocal folds. Symptoms include changes in vocal quality, hoarseness, and raspiness. Cyrus finds performing with the condition physically taxing but opts for nonsurgical treatments like speech therapy and addressing underlying causes rather than surgery, which could alter her voice.
