Singer Karina undergoes successful vocal cord surgery in Venezuela
Venezuelan singer Karina has undergone successful emergency surgery in Venezuela to treat a hemorrhagic polyp on her vocal cords. The singer revealed that the condition had been affecting her ability to sing for several months following her recent tour in Europe.
Karina explained that she initially mistook the issue for physical exhaustion, but after various treatments failed to resolve her hoarseness, she sought specialized medical evaluation. She described the diagnosis as a challenge to her identity, noting that her voice is central to who she is.
The singer expressed gratitude for the medical care received in her home country, stating she felt secure being surrounded by her own people and doctors. She is currently in recovery and expressed optimism about returning to the stage with a renewed voice.
