Vocal Cord Hemorrhage

Overview and Facts about Vocal Cord Hemorrhage

A vocal cord hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel in the vocal cord ruptures and leaks blood underneath the lining of the vocal cord.

Essentially, the process is the same as getting a bruise anywhere on your body – blood vessels break and leak blood into the skin. The condition is not uncommon in singers, and it occurs most frequently among especially strong singers.
