Can it be possible for you to permanently damage your vocal cords by screaming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Every time you scream, you are damaging the mucosa over the vocal fold muscle. The recurrent screaming may lead to vocal fold hemorrhage and permanent scarring or cyst formation. So, yes, screaming can permanently damage your vocal folds.
