Girls have Adam's apple

In daily life, many thin girls cannot stand the prominent Adam's apple. They think it is a physiological phenomenon unique to men. At the same time, they are worried that it will make them more masculine and affect their future life. So, in daily life, we should pay attention to how the Adam's apple is produced.

The Adam's apple of a person is mainly used for swallowing and other auxiliary functions. It is also a common organ in daily life as it is mainly used for vocalization and can help with swallowing movements in daily life.

The human Adam's apple is composed of 11 pieces of cartilage as a support, the most important and largest of which is called the thyroid cartilage. The laryngeal cartilage begins to grow when the fetus is two months old. It continues to grow every year for 2-6 years, but the growth of laryngeal cartilage basically stops from the age of five or six to puberty. The thyroid cartilage is the same size in children, regardless of gender. After entering puberty, the secretion of male androgen increases, and the upper ends of the anterior corners of the thyroid cartilage plates on both sides rapidly enlarge and protrude forward to form the Adam's apple. At the same time, the laryngeal cavity is significantly enlarged, almost 6 times that of a newborn. This turns the boy's originally clear childish voice into a deep and strong adult voice. This male sexual characteristic is caused by the male hormone testosterone secreted by the testicles. Although normal female ovaries also produce a small amount of testosterone, it is only 5% of that of men, so most women do not have Adam's apples, that is, the Adam's apples do not protrude significantly.

So, why do some girls have prominent Adam's apples? According to research, there are roughly the following reasons:

One is genetic factors. The growth and development characteristics of the parents, such as height, weight, facial features, and of course the size of the Adam's apple, will be passed on to the next generation. If the father has a particularly prominent Adam's apple, then the daughter's Adam's apple may also be more prominent than the average person. The second is endocrine disorders. It is mainly due to endocrine dysfunction. The dominant sex hormone in women's bodies is estrogen, and the content of androgen is very small. However, if endocrine disorders are caused by internal diseases, such as pituitary tumors, ovarian dysfunction, etc., the androgen content in the body will cause masculine manifestations such as prominent Adam's apple, hoarse voice, and excessive hair growth. At the same time, some characteristics that women should have are not obvious.

The third is weight loss. For women who are too thin, the fat and muscle tissue in the front of the neck are underdeveloped, so the Adam's apple will appear to protrude forward.

Most girls have a prominent Adam's apple, which is just a manifestation of their developmental process. If there are no other abnormal signs, it should be normal and will not have any adverse effects on gender and development. However, to be on the safe side, if a girl has a prominent Adam's apple, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is caused by endocrine disorders, targeted treatment is needed and it can be cured. It is also necessary to check whether there are tumors in the reproductive system and whether there are any diseases in the adrenal cortex. In addition, a very small number of young girls still have male testicles in their bodies, which is medically known as hermaphroditism. This type of patient will affect both gender and fertility. If the protruding Adam's apple is related to weak neck muscles, as long as you pay more attention to nutrition and strengthen exercise, and don't blindly diet to lose weight, you will no longer feel the Adam's apple protruding after your muscles are plump.

The above is the phenomenon of girls having Adam's apple. Some heroes in daily life have discovered that it is mainly caused by some weight, facial features, some genetic factors, endocrine disorders or weight loss. Therefore, if women have no special reasons for the protrusion of Adam's apple. As long as you pay more attention to nutrition, strengthen exercise, and don't blindly diet to lose weight,
