Uncertainty about her voice

Dr. Ana María Polo raised alarm among her millions of followers after announcing she will undergo a vocal surgery.

The host of Caso Cerrado shared the message on her social media, where she asked for spiritual support before entering the operating room.

The news caused immediate concern, especially because her voice has been the defining hallmark of her television career.

In her message, she made it clear that the procedure is due to persistent hoarseness caused by years of intense voice use.

In a video addressed to her followers, Polo explained that the procedure is scheduled for March 20 and was recommended by her doctor.

“I have a request to make. I’m going to have surgery on my vocal cords—as you’ve noticed, I’m a bit hoarse,” she said.

She added that the issue is common among people who, like her, have strained their voice for years in front of cameras.

“Without my voice, what will I do? Help me and pray for me so I can keep shouting, speaking, raising my voice for justice,” the presenter pleaded.

Reactions and personal reflection

The announcement triggered a wave of supportive messages on social media, where the lawyer has millions of followers.

In the same message, she also addressed comments about her age after some users congratulated her in advance.

“It makes me laugh that on Facebook people say, ‘Happy birthday, Doctor, 65 years,’ but I’m turning 67 this year,” she clarified.

“I feel good, I have great energy, and I’m always considering many beautiful projects,” Ana María Polo added, showing optimism despite her upcoming vocal surgery.
