Why is it that boys' Adam's apples are not obvious?

If a boy is still in the growth stage, the Adam's apple will not be affected if it is not obvious. When every organ in the body is fully grown and developed around the age of 18, the Adam's apple will also appear. The Adam's apple is a sign of adult maleness. It is formed when the thyroid cartilage plates on both sides of the neck are connected in the midline and the upper ends protrude forward and outward, forming a blunt angle.

The formation and size of the Adam's apple are not only related to the level of testosterone, but also to the differences between people. If you are thin or have an older neck, the protruding Adam's apple will be more obvious. If you are obese or have a short neck, the protruding Adam's apple will not be obvious. As long as the androgen metabolism is normal and other secondary sexual characteristics grow and develop normally, it doesn't matter if the Adam's apple is not obvious. If an adult male has insufficient androgen metabolism or other sexual characteristics are not fully developed, he needs to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

Boys generally begin to grow their Adam's apples when they reach puberty, around the age of 15 or 16. This is also an important manifestation of the growth and development of male secondary sexual characteristics. An inconspicuous Adam's apple does not necessarily mean that there is something abnormal. Some people are slightly fatter and their Adam's apples are not obvious, which has no effect. However, it is not possible to immediately determine whether it is absolutely normal. It is also necessary to observe the main manifestations of growth and development with age. If the external genitalia develop abnormally after puberty, or the sound is more delicate, then you should consider a physical examination in the hospital.

In medicine, the larynx is the protrusion in front of the fingernail-shaped cartilage, which is mainly manifested in the throat. From the appearance, it looks like a lump, which is called the larynx. The growth and development of the larynx are varied and different in everyone. Therefore, some people have more prominent larynx, which is mainly caused by the different angles between the two thyroid cartilage plates of the cartilage. It is caused by natural growth and development. Non-genetic If the throat is often massaged or squeezed during the development stage, it may also cause the growth and development of the larynx to be inconspicuous. Patients with more obese bodies do not have prominent larynx. Generally speaking, it is not easy to affect the pronunciation of clinical phonetics or the function of voice in the middle and late stages, so generally no special treatment is required.
