There is a lump above the Adam's apple that hurts when pressed

The Adam's apple is a key feature of men. Some men find lumps on their Adam's apple. In fact, it is very common and is a symptom of many diseases, but it is generally not cancer. You don't have to worry, but you must seek treatment in time so that you can recover quickly. Please take a look with me below to see what diseases can cause lumps to appear on the Adam's apple.

There are mainly the following factors for the hard lumps on the laryngeal joint: The first is thyroglossal duct cyst, which is caused by the incomplete closure of the thyroglossal duct after the patient is born. It can be clearly seen by B-ultrasound examination. If it is this case, surgical removal can be done. The second is disordered thyroid cyst, which can be diagnosed by B-ultrasound examination to check whether there is thyroid cyst tissue in the normal thyroid position. If so, the disordered thyroid cyst can be removed surgically. The third is other causes of the disease, such as lymph nodes, sebaceous cysts on the neck skin, etc. Therefore, we must go to the hospital for a physical examination and solve it according to the details.

Among them, thyroglossal duct tumor is the most common. If the lump is ring-shaped, smooth, with clear boundaries, and adheres to other tissues and skin or is painful, and moves up and down when swallowing, it usually belongs to this type of disease, which is caused by congenital growth and development abnormalities and can only be removed and eradicated by surgical treatment. After diagnosis, it is recommended to perform surgical treatment as soon as possible to avoid infection and enlargement of the tumor. If it adheres to other tissues, it will be more difficult to perform surgical treatment.

However, we don’t have to think that the lump on the Larynx is only a problem of lymph nodes or thyroid cysts. In fact, submandibular gland inflammation can also cause lumps on the Larynx. In addition, this type of disease will continue to cause submandibular gland swelling, pain and other symptoms. More serious patients may even have purulent secretions. If it is this type of disease, it must be treated immediately.

The above detailed introduction allows us to understand that the lump on the larynx is very complicated. Many diseases can cause this symptom. Patients should go to the hospital for a physical examination to see what caused the disease so that they can start symptomatic treatment. Patients should pay attention to their diet during the treatment period and avoid eating spicy foods to avoid aggravating the condition.
