In the eyes of many people, Adam's apple is generally only grown in boys, and girls usually do not have Adam's apple. However, in fact, both girls and boys have Adam's apple, but most girls do not have Adam's apple. It will be as prominent as that of boys, so many people have the situation that girls do not have Adam's apple. So what should girls do if their Adam's apple is obvious?
1. What to do if a girl has an obvious Adam's apple
1. Treatment method
1. Eat more iodine-containing foods such as kelp in daily life to replenish the body. Iodine, because if the protruding Adam's apple is caused by iodine deficiency, the symptoms will gradually disappear after supplementing iodine. 2. If you are too thin and there seems to be no muscle fat in your neck, you need to eat more meals to supplement your nutrition. Once you are no longer too thin and your neck muscles become plumper, your Adam's apple may not look prominent. 3. If it does not fall into the two categories of iodine deficiency and weight loss and the first two methods cannot alleviate it, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations and listen to the doctor’s professional advice.
2. Symptoms
The cartilage protrusion in the human throat is the Adam's apple that we can see and touch every day. Girls' Adam's apple is basically invisible when the neck is very smooth, and Boys' Adam's apple is generally more obvious than girls' Adam's apple. The obvious symptom of a girl's Adam's apple is the same as that of a boy's Adam's apple. It is more convex than other girls' Adam's apple and is more obvious when looking at the neck.
3. Causes
There are several main reasons for the obvious Adam's apple in girls: endocrine disorders, excessive male hormone content in the body, protruding Adam's apple, etc., and the characteristics that women should have The change is not obvious; due to genetic factors, the daughter of a father with a large and conspicuous Adam's apple may also have a bulging Adam's apple; if the figure is too thin, the fat and tissue in the front of the neck are underdeveloped, the Adam's apple may also appear to bulge forward. In addition, due to iodine deficiency during adolescence, the thyroid gland will physiologically enlarge, resulting in a protrusion at the Adam's apple, which is easily mistaken for a protruding Adam's apple. However, in fact, this is just because the thyroid gland is just below the Adam's apple, and this phenomenon will disappear later.
2. How to eliminate Adam's apple
1. Supplement nutrition
The protruding Adam's apple of some women is not because their Adam's apple is big, but because their bodies are too thin. There is not much fat and muscle in the neck, which cannot cover up the Adam's apple. Supplement nutrition, eat more high-protein foods, make the body fatter and gain some fat, and the Adam's apple will not be so obvious.
2. Hospital treatment
If girls have obvious protruding Adam’s apple, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. Some girls have obvious male characteristics due to strong androgen secretion in their bodies. This is caused by endocrine disorders. It is recommended to go to the hospital and receive targeted treatment, which can be cured.
