What does a big Adam's apple mean for a man?

Men’s Adam’s apples come in different sizes, just like their reproductive organs. The Adam's apple is generally related to the secretion of hormones during male puberty. Some people believe that a large Adam's apple means that men have stronger sexual functions, while others believe that this is a sign of premature maturity during puberty. The Adam's apple is related to one's physical fitness. The physical differences of each individual will cause the size of the Adam's apple to vary.

Men with big throat

A man’s Adam’s apple is a sign of his masculinity. Generally, women’s Adam’s apples are smaller or not very obvious, but men’s Adam’s apples are much larger. Especially for some people who are thin, the Adam's apple will be more obvious.

If you have a big Adam's apple but don't feel any discomfort, it's okay. People with this kind of Adam's apple will make girls feel more sexy, so don't worry too much. If you have any uncomfortable symptoms and are worried, you can go to the hospital to check your endocrine system in time.

Causes of small Adam's apple

First, a history of heavy physical training and frequent masturbation

Experts revealed that most of the people surveyed with unclear Adam's apples had similar living conditions. Some of these men have been engaged in high-intensity sports training before puberty, and some have a history of frequent masturbation in the early stages of puberty. This situation accounts for a large proportion of the respondents. Relevant scholars believe that these living conditions may have led to a large consumption of male hormones during puberty, resulting in the failure of the thyroid cartilage to protrude forward fully, so that the Adam's apple is not so obviously protruding from the outside. Although the Adam's apple of these people does not protrude fully, the anterior-posterior diameter of the larynx has increased a lot compared to before puberty, so their voice is still that of a male.

Second, due to physiological development

Some boys have thick necks, obese bodies, or their thyroid cartilage does not expand forward in the typical way, but instead expands equally in all directions. These factors make their Adam's apple look less obvious, but physiologically the Adam's apple is completely normal.

Third, genetic factors

The growth and development characteristics of the previous generation will be passed on to the next generation. If the boy's elders have an unclear Adam's apple, this physiological phenomenon may be inherited by the boy. This is a hereditary unclear Adam's apple.

Fourth, physiological lesions

Some boys have too little or abnormal testosterone secretion during puberty, which may cause their Adam's apple to be unclear. In addition, laryngeal inflammation or lesions can also cause abnormal laryngeal protrusions during adolescence, in which case medical treatment should be sought.
