"Growing up where it shouldn't be" is an endocrine disorder

If hair grows in places where it shouldn't, it may be a sign of an endocrine disease.

Normally, after puberty, the growth and development of the human body stops, and a certain organ or tissue will not continue to grow. But sometimes, the body grows in places that should not grow, which not only affects the appearance, but is likely to be a problem with the endocrine system.

For example, if your neck becomes thicker, it is possible that the thyroid gland, which should not have grown, has "grown". When you envy others' thin and long "swan necks", you accidentally find that your neck has become thicker when you look in the mirror. It is very likely that your thyroid gland is enlarged. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the front of the neck. It is invisible under normal circumstances. When the enlarged thyroid gland can be seen from the surface of the body, it is often at least moderately enlarged. Thyroid enlargement is one of the clinical manifestations of multiple thyroid diseases. It is common in hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and can also be seen in thyroid cancer. If the thyroid gland "grows" when it should not, you need to visit the endocrinology department to complete relevant examinations to find out the cause and make a clear diagnosis.
