Woman with Adam's apple

When it comes to Adam's apple, most people think that it is a feature exclusive to men. Some female friends, especially teenage girls, are surprised and worried when they find that they have Adam's apple, and may even develop an inferiority complex. In fact, there is no need to think like this, because the Adam's apple is a cartilage protrusion in the human throat. Both men and women have Adam's apples, and this is a very normal phenomenon.

It’s just that men’s Adam’s apple is more obvious and prominent than women’s. This is mainly due to the secretion of male hormones in the male body. After entering puberty, the secretion of male hormones in men increases sharply, causing the Adam's apple to protrude. The female body mainly secretes estrogen, and the level of estrogen is much higher than the secretion of testosterone, so the Adam's apple of women is not too obvious and is much more hidden than that of men.

Therefore, a prominent Adam's apple is one of the most significant secondary sexual characteristics of men. A small number of female friends also have a more obvious Adam's apple, which is mainly caused by the following three reasons: First, it is caused by endocrine disorders. Due to various factors, the level of estrogen in women's bodies is lower than normal, so the effect of male hormones will become obvious, leading to a prominent Adam's apple.

Therefore, if a woman's Adam's apple is prominent due to this reason, she should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to see if there are any abnormalities in her ovarian function and endocrine glands such as the pituitary gland and adrenal glands. The second reason is that due to family heredity, if one of the parents has a very obvious Adam's apple, then their daughter may have a protruding Adam's apple, but this is completely normal.

The third reason why women have more obvious Adam's apples is that many young female friends are too concerned about their weight. They try hard to lose weight, which causes their bodies to become too thin. As a result, the fat and muscle tissue in the front of the neck are underdeveloped, and the Adam's apple naturally appears very prominent. Therefore, when female friends find that they have Adam's apple, there is no need to panic, just treat it scientifically.
