Why do some boys have no Adam's apple?

After entering puberty, although boys' breasts do not develop like girls', their penises will undergo great changes, and pubic hair will gradually grow around the penis. At the same time, there will be another change in boys' bodies, that is, the formation of Adam's apple. Adam's apple is a physiological feature of the male body, so every normal male should have an Adam's apple. But some men find that they don't have an Adam's apple. What should they do?

What if a man has no Adam's apple?

1. What if a man has no Adam's apple?

It is normal for men to not have an Adam's apple. The lack of an Adam's apple may be due to genetics, so the Adam's apple is not obvious, or it may be caused by endocrine disorders in the body. Therefore, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis, which can help replenish the body's vitamins and water, and is very good for regulating endocrine. In addition, you should also pay attention to a balanced diet, not just eating meat without vegetables. In addition, you should also pay attention to doing more exercise on a regular basis, which can help strengthen your body and is also good for regulating endocrine.

2. What is the Adam's apple?

Adam's apple is one of the male sexual characteristics. After puberty, men will generally have their Adam's apple protruding forward to varying degrees due to the effect of androgens. The human larynx is composed of 11 cartilages as a support, and the most important and largest one is called the thyroid cartilage. The laryngeal cartilage begins to develop when the fetus is 2 months old, and it continues to grow every year until 5 to 6 years after birth, but the growth of the laryngeal cartilage basically stops from 5 to 6 years old to puberty. Therefore, the thyroid cartilage of boys and girls is the same. After entering puberty, due to the increase in androgen secretion, the Adam's apple appears in boys.

3. What are the functions of the Adam's apple?

It is useless in terms of function, but it reflects the different effects of different sex hormone secretions on the human body. The Adam's apple is the connection between the left and right thyroid cartilages in the middle. The Adam's apple has no actual function for the human body. The thyroid cartilage protects the laryngeal cavity in the human body. It is called the thyroid cartilage because its shape is similar to armor; secondly, it protects the larynx in the human body, hence the name. As for the difference in the size of the Adam's apple between men and women, it is caused by different levels of endocrine hormones.

The function of Adam's apple is that boys have Adam's apple during puberty. Adam's apple makes the voice deeper and highlights the male developmental characteristic. As long as your voice does not sound like a woman's when you speak, the size does not matter.

Reasons for men's Adam's apple not being obvious

Why do some men have a masculine voice but an inconspicuous Adam's apple? Some scholars have conducted clinical research on this and found that some adult men with inconspicuous Adam's apples are very strong track and field athletes, gymnasts, etc. They have well-developed muscles and normal male sexual characteristics. Among these men with inconspicuous Adam's apples, the vast majority are married, have normal childbearing, and have no other abnormalities. Endocrine examinations also show no abnormalities.

Experts have found through investigations into the personal life histories of these men that some of these men have been engaged in high-intensity physical training since before puberty. Some have a history of frequent masturbation since they first began to develop, and such cases account for a large proportion of the respondents. Some scholars believe that this may have led to a large consumption of androgens during puberty, which has caused the thyroid cartilage to fail to fully protrude forward, so that the Adam's apple is not so obvious from the outside. Although the protrusion is not sufficient, the anterior-posterior diameter of the larynx is still larger than before puberty, so the voice is still masculine. However, some people have thicker necks, are obese, or the thyroid cartilage does not protrude forward in the typical way but expands equally in all directions, so the Adam's apple does not look so obvious.
