What is the reason for a girl's big throat?

The Adam's apple is a normal tissue in the throat, and having an Adam's apple is a normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, women's Adam's apples are much smaller than men's and look very inconspicuous. However, some women have larger Adam's apples, which look very obvious, which makes it difficult for many women to accept. So, what is the reason why girls have big Adam’s apples? Let’s look at the common reasons below.

Both men and women have Adam's apples. Men develop Adam's apples earlier than girls during puberty, and men's Adam's apples are generally more prominent than women's. It is normal for women to have Adam's apples, but due to some factors, some girls' Adam's apples are more prominent than others, so there is no need to worry too much.

Endocrine dysfunction

The main sex hormone secreted in girls' bodies is estrogen, and the content of androgen is extremely small. If the ovaries are not functioning properly, or there are problems with the secretion of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, etc., the content of androgen in the body will increase, and some masculine characteristics will appear. A prominent Adam's apple is one of the more obvious of these characteristics. If the body shows obvious masculine characteristics, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.

Endocrine dysfunction

Genetic factors

Studies have found that the growth and development characteristics of the previous generation will be inherited to the next generation. For example, height, body shape, eye shape, nose length, breast shape, etc. will all be inherited. Of course, the size of the Adam's apple is also one of them. If the father has a larger Adam's apple, it may cause his daughter's Adam's apple to be larger than that of other girls.

Genetic factors

Loss of weight

Although a woman's Adam's apple is not as big and prominent as a boy's, if a girl is too thin, the fat and muscle tissue in the front of the neck will be underdeveloped, and the Adam's apple will appear to protrude forward. As long as you increase nutrition and improve the symptoms of weight loss, you can hide the Adam's apple.

Enlarged thyroid gland

Some girls' Adam's apples look big, but in fact it may not be caused by the Adam's apple but by the enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. During puberty, the thyroid gland of some girls will slightly enlarge, and the front area of ​​the neck will look a little full, which is often mistaken for the Adam's apple. Mild thyroid enlargement in adolescent girls is mostly physiological and does not require special treatment. Eating more seafood can gradually return to normal.
