Can a girl's Adam's apple disappear?

The Adam's apple is a protruding part of the male throat, and it is also an important male physical feature. Men with obvious Adam's apples also look more masculine. The transition from childhood to adolescence for boys is caused by the change in their voice after the Adam's apple grows. Generally speaking, girls don't have an Adam's apple in their throats. If a girl finds an Adam's apple in her throat, why is that?

Why do girls have Adam's apples?

1. Genetic factors

If a father has a particularly large Adam's apple, it may be passed on to his daughter.

2. Weight loss

If you are too thin, you will look like just bones, and the Adam's apple in your throat will appear particularly prominent.

3. Insufficient endocrine function

The dominant sex hormone in women's bodies is estrogen, which also contains very small amounts of androgen. However, when estrogen secretion is not enough, the androgen content increases relatively. This may also lead to masculine characteristics such as a large Adam's apple, excessive hair growth, and a deeper voice.

4. Mistaking an enlarged thyroid gland for an Adam’s apple

The thyroid gland of adolescent girls undergoes physiological enlargement. This is because their metabolism is too active and the iodine supply is relatively insufficient, resulting in physiological iodine deficiency. The thyroid gland becomes enlarged as a result, but because the enlarged thyroid gland is just below the Adam's apple, it is mistakenly thought to be a protruding Adam's apple.

It can be seen that the Adam's apple is not a physiological symbol of men, nor is it unique to men. Men with a less prominent Adam's apple should not feel inferior and lose confidence, and girls with a slightly prominent Adam's apple should not think that they are a "tomboy". When it comes to gender, it's very complicated and not clear-cut between men and women.

How to get rid of Adam's apple in girls? It needs to be treated with the right medicine

1. Girls are mistakenly believed to have "Adam's apple" due to enlarged thyroid gland. In this case, to solve the problem of girls having Adam's apple, the natural way is to solve the problem of enlarged thyroid gland. The following are specific methods for treating an enlarged thyroid gland:

(1) Drug treatment

Drug therapy is a more common method for thyroid enlargement, but the treatment time is relatively long, and the patient needs to undergo normal physical examinations every month before full recovery, and every 3 months after the symptoms subside. However, this method is iodine-deficient, which means that the symptoms are likely to relapse after discontinuation of the medication, so it is only suitable for patients with milder symptoms.

(2) Diet therapy

The main cause of goiter is iodine deficiency in the body. Moreover, giving iodine compounds to people with hyperthyroidism can increase thyroid hormone storage and reduce release, but excessive intake will affect anti-thyroid hormone treatment.

Therefore, patients can supplement iodine through diet. Foods rich in iodine include kelp and seafood as their main sources. In addition, there are also some iodine in green leafy vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, grains, and iodized salt.

(3) Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment is generally used for patients with more serious symptoms, such as those with difficulty breathing and eating. The effect of surgical treatment is very good, but everyone should pay attention that surgical treatment requires surgery on the patient's neck. If there is no thoughtful care measures after the operation, it may cause wound infection and recurrence of the disease. Therefore, patients must receive close care after the operation.

2. If a girl has an Adam's apple due to endocrine dysfunction (endocrine disorder), then this problem can be solved by regulating the endocrine disorder. Here are some ways to treat endocrine disorders:

(1) Mental conditioning

Maintain a happy and optimistic mood, maintain a peaceful state of mind, pay special attention to how to relax and relieve stress, overcome anxiety, tension and other negative emotions in daily life, strive to improve self-control, avoid all adverse mental stimulation such as shock, anger, fear and endocrine disorders.

(2) Ensure sleep

Clinical studies have found that if adults sleep less than four hours a day, their metabolic system will be seriously impaired, causing endocrine disorders. Therefore, adults should ensure about 8 hours of sleep a day.

In addition, to improve the quality of sleep, people with poor sleep can do low-intensity exercise for about 20 minutes within 2 to 3 hours before going to bed, or drink a glass of hot milk before going to bed. These practices will help improve sleep quality.

3. Diet adjustment

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and eat lighter foods. If you are suffering from deficiency of qi and blood, you can eat some foods that replenish qi and blood, such as black rice, small dates, red beans, white fungus, etc., eat less cold foods, and you can also take some health products such as royal jelly or evening primrose. In addition, eating fish, soybeans, bananas, apples and other foods regularly can help regulate your endocrine system.
