Question

5. What is Adam's Apple? Does it have any
negative impact on human body?​

Answer 1

Answer:

■The Adam's apple, or laryngeal prominence, is a feature of the human neck, and is the lump or protrusion formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx seen especially in males.

■Cosmetic surgery to reshape the Adam's apple is called chondrolaryngoplasty (thyroid cartilage reduction). The surgery is effective, such that complications tend to be few and, if present, transient.

■Conditions such as laryngitis can cause the Adam's apple to appear bigger.

The Adam's apple does not serve any medically relevant function, and the size does not relate to any health condition.

However, some conditions can cause swelling in the larynx or growth in surrounding areas.

This can cause the Adam's apple to appear larger than usual.

Examples of these conditions include:

laryngitis, which is inflammation of the larynx

pharyngitis, which is inflammation of the back of the throat

laryngeal cancer

thyroid cancer

Treatment for a large Adam's apple varies, depending on the cause. It may involve medications such as antibiotics or corticosteroids.

If a person has cancer, treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy

Answer 2

When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat.

An Adam's apple isn't a medical concern, and it won't cause any health problems.

Adam's apple appear larger, and this can indicate a more serious underlying condition. The Adam's apple itself does not impact health, but some people choose to change the size through surgery.
