La Mona Jiménez, the renowned quartet singer, continues to be in the headlines due to a surgical procedure he underwent due to a health problem after his show last week at the Estadio Único (Diego Armando Maradona) in La Plata. La Mona reportedly had to undergo surgery to treat a hernia, although the latest official medical report assures that his development is stable and within expected parameters.
This situation has caused concern among her followers, but the truth is that specialists have emphasized that La Mona is responding well to treatment and has no complications.
Mona Jiménez’s health problems
This is not the first health problem that La Mona Jiménez has faced in recent years. In 2023, he had to undergo emergency surgery to remove his spleen after suffering severe abdominal pain. On this occasion, the singer revealed that he was on the verge of death and that doctors had to act quickly to save him.
That same year, La Mona was admitted to the Instituto Modelo Cardiológico de Córdoba for six days, where a stent was inserted due to a severe blockage of the carotid artery that led to ischemic disease. These health problems put his fans on alert, who feared for the health of the quartet icon.
In June 2024, La Mona Jiménez had to be hospitalized again, this time for acute gastroenteritis, which forced him to cancel several dates of his shows. At the age of 74, the singer struggled with various health problems, but he always managed to recover and continue his artistic career with renewed energy.
