Answer 1

Women with prominent Adam's apples are uncommon, but not extremely rare - Some women do have larger Adam's apples than other women, similar to how some women have facial hair or large feet, also characteristics that are more often associated with men. The aspects of a person's body that are socially recognized markers of gender, such as the Adam's apple, facial or body hair, and b*****s, are not determinants of one's s*x or gender identity in any medical sense. That is, having some 'masculine' (or feminine) features does not determine whether a person identifies as a man or a woman.

As for the "cause" of your prominent Adam's apple, there may be a cause that a health care provider could determine, or there may not be; what's certain is that any "cause" would need to be determined by a health care provider you see in-person. A pronounced Adam's apple could be the normal result of the hormones your body produced during puberty; or perhaps what you think is an Adam's apple is actually a growth indicative of something else. It sounds as though you are distressed somewhat, and may find it helpful to discuss your concerns with a health care provider.

Even though your Adam's apple may be the harmless result of your hormones, social stereotypes can contribute to the feelings of embarrassment that you write about. Sometimes when an individual looks different from those around her or him, her/his self-confidence can suffer because of embarrassment or social teasing. Talking with someone might help you to recognize and appreciate the emotions you've had while growing up and learn to restore some of your confidence. It is also possible that you are misperceiving or exaggerating to yourself the size of, and whether people truly notice, your larynx cartilage.

By talking with health care providers and thinking about your feelings you may be able to come to terms with your throat, apple and all.

Well men normally have larger adam's apples because they normally have a higher amount of testosterone than woman. Woman have small amounts of testosterone, but maybe your levels are higher than normal. It could just be hormones. Just talk to your doctor.

Answer 6

Girl's CAN have adam's apples.

It is just a myth that they don't.

Men just usually have a much larger one, which is much more noticable.

There is nothing wrong with it.

This misinformation has hurt a lot of women out there that think there is something wrong with them when they have an adam's apple.

Do some research before answering the question please, don't just give an answer because you saw it on a tv show once.
