There is a lump above the Adam's apple, it's actually this disease!

The Adam's apple is one of the signs of male maturity. Generally speaking, the Adam's apple does not suffer from any incurable diseases except for some common skin diseases. However, some men have found that a lump-like substance suddenly appeared above their Adam's apple. So, what is this disease?

A lump in the Adam's apple is actually submandibular gland inflammation

There is a lump above the Adam's apple. The cause may be retrograde inflammation of the submandibular gland due to obstruction and stenosis of the catheter, which is called submandibular glanditis, which is often complicated by salivary stones. The clinical manifestations are mainly enlargement and pain of the submandibular gland, and purulent secretions overflowing from the catheter. The disease has a high incidence in adults and is mostly a chronic manifestation. Currently, there are more effective treatment drugs and methods with a higher cure rate. Those who do not receive treatment in time and those who have not received formal treatment have poor treatment effects, so early treatment is the key.
